This is an insult to activism. They were only demanding that those houses not be demolished. And the so-called authorities now accuse them of obstructing public servants. 🤦♂️

There is no debate. It is only a violation of Sabah and Sarawak's autonomy and an invitation to and instigation of the normalisation of exploitation and oppression. Challenging others' dignity and thus causing trouble, which leads to others blaming the victim. Laws are only relevant if they protect places and people from injustices and oppression. PDA74 is not fulfilling them. PDA74 isn't protecting Sabah and Sarawak's autonomy, as agreed by all the founders of Malaysia on MA63. It is feeding the exploitative capitalists. PDA74 is certainly a violation of these autonomies and dignities. It also violates Sarawak's Oil Mining Ordinance 1958.
PDA74 is an invitation to normalise the exploitation of Sabah and Sarawak. It violates our autonomy, ignores MA63, and feeds capitalist oppressors. This is not debate; it is injustice.

Why won’t my #abusive #parent admit they were wrong & apologise?
🧐"Many parents who abused their children will never apologise for te harm they've done; won’t acknowledge or admit te abuse at all.. A genuine apology reqs a shared #understanding of wat happened & why it was #unjust. Many perpetrators lack #selfconfidence, impulse control & #empathy. Tis often manifests as a string of #failed #marital relationship.. Things get more complex when te parent's abusing #alcohol"

B0MBING #PEOPLE ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME IS NOT #SELFDEFENSE!
...its done from a safe distance for the aggressor and too far over the heads of the targets for those people to protect themselves OR harm the bully!!
...the people of #Palestine and the #Venezuelan boat crews clearly do not have antiair tools. so bombing people in any capacity is the same brutal #unjust scenario as "shooting fish in a barrel"
...and fck yall for making such deadly hateful capabilities for unchecked mass murder!!!

I'm fascinated by Plato's theories... Could we function without rulers? Or is the solution with folks who have solutions and are thinking about the future without material connections? Hmmmm... Anything is better than the #ShipOfFools!
#Plato on #Democracy, #Tyranny, and the Ideal State
What would Plato have to say about today’s democracies?
Updated June 24, 2024
"Having experienced the limits of both #tyranny and democracy, Plato sought to devise another and better system of government. In the Republic, which in my view is nothing more than a thought experiment, he conceived of an ideal state ruled by a small number of people selected, after close observation and rigorous testing, from a highly educated elite.
"These so-called guardians would not hold any private property. Instead, they would live together in housing provided by the state, and receive from the citizens no more than their daily sustenance. In spite, or because, of these deprivations, the guardians would be the happiest of men. Were a guardian to become ‘infatuated with some youthful conceit of happiness’ and seek to appropriate the state to himself, he would have to 'learn how wisely Hesiod spoke, when he said, ‘half is more than the whole.’
"For Plato, if a person is to give good advice on the highest affairs of state, he or she must have expertise in justice, which is a part of virtue and self-knowledge. The person who rushes into politics without having found self-knowledge falls into error and makes himself and everyone else miserable. He who is not wise cannot be happy, and it is better for such a person to be commanded by a superior in wisdom.
"The #tyrant, who is the most #unjust of people, is also the #unhappiest. The tyrant is constantly overcome by lawless desires which lead him to commit all manner of heinous act. His soul is full of disorder and regret, and is incapable of doing what it truly desires (this is similar to Socrates' notion that a bad person is, in fact, not himself). The life of the political tyrant is even more wretched than that of the private tyrant, first, because the political tyrant is in a better position to feed his desires, and, second, because he is everywhere surrounded and watched by his enemies, and becomes at first their prisoner and at last their victim. [Sounds like Trump to me!]
"The best and most just of all rulers are those who are most reluctant to govern, while the worst and most unjust are those who are most eager. Therefore, if the state is to be well ordered, it must offer another and better life than that of ruler, for only then will they rule who are truly rich, not in silver and gold, but in #virtue and #wisdom, which are the true blessings of life. And the only life that looks down upon the life of political ambition is that of true philosophy."

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
In a word, there is only one thing here worth the minding, and that is, to be true and just, and to show benevolence, even to the untrue and unjust.
[Ἓν ὧδε πολλοῦ ἄξιον, τὸ μετ᾿ ἀληθείας καὶ δικαιοσύνης εὐμενῆ τοῖς ψεύσταις καὶ ἀδίκοις διαβιοῦν.]Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 6, ch. 47 (6.47) (AD 161-180) [tr. Collier/Zimmern (1887)]Sourcing, notes, other translations: wist.info/marcus-aureleus/7834…

..point being its an #unjust and #unfair systemic #dehumanization to measure someone's capacity for life on how well they button a shirt or tie a shoe, or yes, even speak your language your way!
if EVERY1 was measured this way....
THERE WOULD BE #NOCEO's

To know if any #law is #fair or #unjust check it against these 3 #rules.
1. A law should only protect person's #freedom, not their #power.
2. It is not #illegal if there is no #victim to the #crime.
3. With any crime, the victim should be able to give #consent turning this particular instance of the crime into a completely #legal act.If any of those are missing from any law, you know you are dealing with an #injustice of some kind.

"As I have told Evan's parents, I will never give up hope either. We will continue working every day to secure his release," #Biden said in a stmnt…that called the #journalist's detention "wholly #unjust & #illegal."
"We will continue to denounce & impose costs for #Russia's appalling attempts to use Americans as bargaining chips," Biden added.
The Kremlin said on Thurs complete silence was needed when it came to discussions about possible prisoner exchanges involving #EvanGershkovich.

Miranda & Sawses’ #appeal hopes to highlight the #unfair & #unjust sentences that have been the bread & butter of Fitzpatrick’s long & storied #career #protecting #CorporateInterests against the health & well being of #Indigenous & #Black communities. The appeal will also #highlight the continued acts of #genocide that Indigenous people face in #courts when they stand up to #protect their #homelands # culture from #extractive #industries who have #NoJurisdiction

America has a powerful way to reduce #ChildPoverty & the pandemic's large-scale social experiments proved it: Expanding the #ChildTaxCredit (an advance of approx $300/month) in 2021 was the lead reason US child #poverty reached #HISTORIC lows that year.
It expired in 2021 & #Dems are fighting to save it but the #GOP has made it clear they want business #TaxCuts only, no talk of the CTC.
This is what happens when you demonize the poor.
