A quotation from Baltasar Gracian
The way to quiet the turbulence of a mob is to withdraw your hand, and let it quiet itself; to concede today, may be the best way to succeed tomorrow.

The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 138 (1647) [tr. Fischer (1937)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/gracian-y-morales-ba…

A quotation from Frederick Douglass
The American people have this lesson to learn: That where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.
Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) American abolitionist, orator, writer
Speech (1886-04-16), “Strong to Suffer, and Yet Strong to Strive,” Israel Bethel Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, Washington, D.C.More info about this quote: wist.info/douglass-frederick/7…

#UK #Border Force is a #military command reflecting increase of hyper-militarisation in #policing, according to new report
Emergence of #paramilitary/political policing across #Europe, at borders, during #civil #unrest & public #protest
It cites the Home Office's request & support for creation of new #clandestine Channel threat commander as evidence of the Channel becoming #HyperMilitarised
What they have begun at the border does not end at the border

by ageingoptimist Nov 2023As Homo selfishens breaches more planetary boundaries (climate #disruption being just one of those) the #results will show up not just via adverse #weather events but through serious# economic disruption. That will include worsening inflation, #supplychain problems, #crop# failures, and debt default. The result will be increasing inequality, #poverty and #crime.
Conventional economics will attempt to explain these in the usual hand-waving terms, and fail.
Angry #citizens will, as always, blame the incumbent #government. In #democracies this will lead to pointless lurching from left to right and back again, with – very likely – a gradual trend towards #autocracy. In non-democratic nations, it’ll lead to a rapid clampdown on human #rights and #dissent. The end result, in either case, is #dictatorship.
To that mix, add the increasing problem of mass #migration from #tropical states that are failing #economically as well as gradually becoming unlivable due to climate disruption, and we have the perfect recipe for #violent #unrest in coming #decades.
Any #planning for a viable future must surely take this into account and try to #educate the wider #public; if we do that we might ameliorate the worst of it.
If we fail, the future is #fascism.

«Madame, there is rage» Many residents in the French banlieues feel neglected.
In the neighbourhoods of the unrest, many feel stigmatised by politics and the media. Violence is justified as a means of being heard.
