A quotation from Gloria Steinem
The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. We are filled with the popular wisdom of several centuries just past, and we are terrified to give it up. Patriotism means obedience, age means wisdom, woman means submission, black means inferior: these are preconceptions embedded so deeply in our thinking that we honestly may not know that they are there.
Gloria Steinem (1934–2026) American feminist, journalist, activist
Essay (1971-08-21), “A New Egalitarian Life Style,” New York TimesMore about this quote: wist.info/steinem-gloria/18472…

I truly wish we did control the fucking media. Wtf?
"The #BBC has rejected complaints over the use of an #antisemitic phrase on one of its programs, arguing that the reference did not explicitly mention #Jews and therefore did not constitute #antisemitism.
The controversy arose during an episode of the BBC’s Gardeners’ Question Time radio program, when one panelist referred to another as “moneybags Rothschild.”
The phrase is a reference to the #Rothschild family, the prominent #Jewish banking dynasty whose wealth and Jewish identity have made it a longstanding target of #antisemitic #conspiracy theories.
A viewer subsequently filed a complaint with the BBC’s Editorial Complaints Unit (#ECU), arguing that the reference was antisemitic and inappropriate.
However, the ECU rejected the complaint, reportedly reasoning that the comment did not specifically reference the Rothschild family’s Jewish identity and therefore did not “perpetuate #prejudice.” :100_yikes:

What kind of people is this trying to label or imply the entire demographic as something, triggering those people to respond defensively to the indirect, subtle gaslighting? And then avoiding accountability by acting innocent.

The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe. It penetrates only into minds already open, and rather than instill opinion it articulates and justifies opinions already present in the minds of its recipients. The gifted propagandist brings to a boil ideas and passions already simmering in the minds of his hearers. he echoes their innermost feelings. Where opinion is not coerced, people can be made to believe only in what they already “know.”
Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman

May is book's month in Uruguay, May 26th being National Book's Day. I promised to release my books freely in a #FediverseEdition proposal.
I expected to do that in their original language (Spanish).
Translation is a full time professional job which I am not prepared to do. However, some LLM helped me improve a bit my amateur translation attempt of my opera prima The Hungarian Soprano.The main story is a nonlinear chronology which mirrors the dissonant harmonies of La Traviata.
Its structure forces the reader to become the investigator, piecing together a conspiracy the text refuses to spell out.It is a historical fiction work covering espionage, arms traffic, government cover-ups spanning South America and Europe during the Yugoslavian wars.
The prose’s clinical tone (dates, decrees, serial numbers) sharpens the horror, making The hungarian soprano's death feel not like fiction, but like history’s darkest aria.
Six more parts await inside covering #fanaticism, #prejudice, #mystery, #psychedelia, #medicaldrama, #travel, #alcoholism, #friendship, #africa, #trans, #MedecinsSansFrontieres, #southamerica, #Brazil, and more.
Hope you enjoy it. If you feel like #commenting, #sharing or #rating it, thanks in advance.

#Proposition6, also known as #TheBriggsInitiative, was introduced in 1978 by #conservative #California #statesenator #JohnBriggs. This #initiative aimed to #ban #gays and #lesbians, and possibly their #supporters, from #working in California's #publicschools.
The measure was rooted in the #fear and #prejudice that #gay #teachers would negatively #influence #children and #promote the "#homosexuallifestyle."

How people pick and choose which #Bible verses to take literally, which to enforce as #civillaw, tells us more about the person, than about God's will. The #Torah indeed is religiously amazing - but #fundamentalism combined with unexamined #prejudice (which we all have) prevents us from understanding it.
So on a related note, how do #Jewish people read the Torah?https://merrimackvalleyhavurah.wordpress.com/2017/03/12/peshat-and-derash/
