  1. A quotation from George Orwell

    By “nationalism” I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labeled “good” or “bad.” But secondly — and this is much more important — I mean the habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognizing no other duty than that of advancing its interests.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1945-05), “Notes on Nationalism,” Polemic Magazine (1945-10)

    Nun, der Mann der aus dem Off ins Kanzleramt gebracht wurde gehört möglicherweise zur #InGroup die das Recht schützt aber nicht bindet.
    Und das erregte Rentnerlein gehört anscheinend zur #OutGroup die das Recht bindet aber nicht schützt. #Wilhoit

  21. Many of you may already be aware of the important thoughts shared by #FrankWilhoit in his March 2018 blog comment "There is No Such Thing as Liberalism".

    crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/l

    It provides political framing I find useful. I propose using it as a test or "razor" (à la Occam) when evaluating political actions and legislation:

    👉 Who does this action or law bind? Who does it protect? 👈

    The best answer is the people who are bound are also protected. That would be a sign of that the action or law is a good one.

    The worst answer is the people who are bound are not protected. This almost always means the action or law is a bad one.

    As with all politics and compromise there are shades of grey, but this rule of thumb can help find the better action or law.

  34. Denying humanness to others
    has a long history...

    Recent research from #Australia has found that many people consider cyclists to be less than fully #human.

    "We found images of #cyclists wearing #helmets or #safety vests to have a higher probability of being selected as less human compared to images of cyclists wearing no safety equipment. The results have implications for research on cyclists."

    "Dehumanisation has been found to be predictive of hostile and aggressive behaviour, our finding highlights a potential conflict around the perception and utility of safety gear such as high visibility vests; although designed for safety, they may inadvertently increase levels of hostility and #aggression toward this group of vulnerable road users."

    "Research indicates that low status groups are dehumanised – viewed as less civilised and evolved than groups afforded a higher #status."

    I often wonder if the SUVs with black tinted windows contain any humans?

  35. Excited to hit up #OutGroup at #SICB2023 this evening! honestly I'm super pumped for a social in a well lit room where I can actually, y'know, talk to people and hear what they're saying.
