  1. A quotation from Orwell

    Society has always to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice. It has to demand faultless discipline and self-sacrifice, it must expect its subjects to work hard, pay their taxes, and be faithful to their wives, it must assume that men think it glorious to die on the battlefield and women want to wear themselves out with child-bearing. The whole of what one may call official literature is founded on such assumptions.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1941-09), “The Art of Donald McGill,” Horizon Magazine

  2. 🚗🎶 Apparently, #Kars4Kids is the world's most annoying #jingle turned money funnel for one mysterious town in New Jersey. 🏙️ Who knew that the infamous #earworm was the soundtrack to underwrite a "deeply conservative social order"? 🤔 Sounds like New Jersey’s got some serious carpool karaoke going on with a side of conspiracy! 🕵️‍♂️

  3. A quotation from Orwell

    A thing is funny when — in some way that is not actually offensive or frightening — it upsets the established order. Every joke is a tiny revolution. If you had to define humour in a single phrase, you might define it as dignity sitting on a tin-tack. Whatever destroys dignity, and brings down the mighty from their seats, preferably with a bump, is funny. And the bigger the fall, the bigger the joke. It would be better fun to throw a custard pie at a bishop than at a curate.

  4. "Racism is the expression and exercise of a power relationship."
    "You don't vote far right out of misunderstanding or lack of education but to defend a racial order."
    "You've achieved a little status and you don't want to be robbed of the fruits of your labour."

    … translated from Dr. Félicien Faury (fr): peertube.stream/w/heJhX85bBz4X

  5. Ralph Wardlaw, Scottish Congregationalist minister, says there are cases of poverty which require a refusal because of character.

    Harsh? I’ve heard of development orgs giving to women, per se, over men because the husbands wasted $ on booze & gambling, but women invested in their children.

    How can you be careful with your donations, yet avoid \withholding from all, based on stereotypes about “character”?

  6. Suffering from school

    Over many years: the fewer qualifications you have, the more you abstain or vote far right.
    "The socio-demographic variable most predictive of the Rassemblement National vote - over a very long period of time, this is a very, very stable result - is the level of education."
