  1. Just watched The Rebel with Tony Hancock, he's one of my favourite comedians of all times, a tragic end to him but this was a delightful outing for him, taking his character out of the 'Half Hour' format with some familiar faces. Same kind of storyline but nice to see him in colour and not just black and white.

  6. These lines from Albert Camus's The Rebel come to mind a lot:



    If injustice is bad for the rebel, it is not because it contradicts an eternal idea of justice, but because it perpetuates the silent hostility that separates the oppressor from the oppressed. It kills the small part of existence that can be realized on this earth through the mutual understanding of men. In the same way, since the man who lies shuts himself off from other men, falsehood is therefore proscribed and, on a slightly lower level, murder and violence, which impose definitive silence. The mutual understanding and communication discovered by rebellion can survive only in the free exchange of conversation. Every ambiguity, every misunderstanding, leads to death; clear language and simple words are the only salvation from this death.[^1] The climax of every tragedy lies in the deafness of its heroes. Plato is right and not Moses and Nietzsche. Dialogue on the level of mankind is less costly

    "Humans in Revolt"

    A video (sound track start) for the USA MemeWar over racist depictions of Haitian Immigrants in Springfield Ohio.

  8. There are old Diaspora Posts that mention Albert Camus's _The Rebel_ I thought I had posted more quotes in English and Japanese somewhere though... Maybe it was with a QuitterDotSe account??

  9. > ...
    > “And if they catch him and kill him?” the girl asked.
    > “Killing a man who says ‘No!’ is a risky business,” the priest replied, “because even a corpse can go on whispering ‘No! No! No!’ with a persistence and obstinacy that only certain corpses are capable of. And how can you silence a corpse?”
    #PowerOfNo
    making me think of Camus's #TheRebel and John Brown, or at least the song about him... "You can silence his voice but you can't kill hope"... plus Stanley Milgram's research?

  10. > The rebel undoubtedly demands a certain degree of freedom for himself; but in no case, if he is consistent, does he demand the right to destroy the existence and the freedom of others. He humiliates no one. The freedom he claims, he claims for all; the freedom he refuses, he forbids everyone to enjoy. He is not only the slave against the master, but also man against the world of master and slave.

  11. > ... though the enacted subject is a sad one, the act of performing it is joyous because it leads the poet to true equivalents of his feeling. In art a true equivalence (no matter of what) is always a joyous capture.
    #JohnCiardi in #HowDoesAPoemMean made me think of #Camus in #TheRebel on #DespairingLiterature, that there can not be a #LiteratureOfDespair, We read for #JoyousCapture, I guess. #Poetry #Poem #LitCrit

  12. The part of The Rebel where Albert Camus talks about not humiliating anyone and demanding the same freedoms for all, it made me think of Free Software. Now with the work of Kate Raworth and others on Planetary Boundaries, Camus work with "limit" and the "a just limit" wording is taking on new meaning.

  13. > Canada already has laws in place that prevent forced therapy practices 

    This seems...wrong somehow. Are these provincial laws?

    Remember; the #saskparty, when they first got into office, campaigned on keeping "conversion therapy" aka torture of gay teens legal.

    #therebel and I seem to live in different realities on this one
