  3. Imperial violence

    "Imperial conquest and colonization depended on pervasive raiding, slaving, and plunder. European empires amassed global power by asserting a right to use unilateral force at their discretion. They Called It Peace is a panoramic history of how these routines of violence remapped the contours of empire and reordered the world from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries."

    The book "brings vividly to life a world in which warmongers portrayed themselves as peacemakers and Europeans imagined “small” violence as essential to imperial rule and global order."

  4. Today at the #food and #clothing #relief #outreach that I help with on #Fridays I found this rare-ish #Australian 1c #coin.

    It's a strange thing to be excited about: a product of #dispossession, #massacres, #racism, #ecological destruction, with the kicker that it's now obsolete.

    How the feathertail glider on one side contrasts with QEII (decorated with what I'm told are stolen gems, and under whose rule #genocidal acts were perpetrated) on the other just floors me.

    What is evil, if not this?

  5. "Thaksin, then #primeminister, quickly branded the robbers "small-time crooks", which can't have improved things. If he had been more prudent, the #KrueSe #mosque & #TakBai #massacres in April 2004 & October of the same year, in which 32 & 85 #Thai #Muslims died, respectively, might have played out differently or even been avoided. Although he did not directly gave orders for the #military #crackdowns in those cases, #Thaksin, as head of the #government, must bear some #responsibility" #Thailand
