Photo of a house next to the words: "Structural violence": a term coined by sociologist Johan Galtung, refers to harm from social, political, or economic systems that sustain inequality. Unlike direct violence, it subtly operates through systemic structures, maintaining power imbalances and harming marginalized groups These systems might seem flawed or poorly designed, yet they effectively serve their purpose. Examples include discriminatory policies and unequal resource access. Often unnoticed due to the absence of a clear aggressor, structural violence has a deep, widespread impact. Logo: black sparrow. Written under is Shady.Sparrow (Sparrow is in pink).

What at first appears to be poor design is actually very careful design, created to destabilise an already vulnerable cohort.

Seems like Irish govt can't wait to get in on that genocide the way they're throwing out signals to the US. The NFL games, the press release mentioning an invite to Paddy's Day, the flirting with NATO. Our govt is acting like a desperate teenage girl hoping for an ask
to the disco.

This is #StructuralViolence against children at a rate unheard of in civilised countries. As one of the top wealthiest countries in the world there is no rational excuse for this. (2/2)

From the outside looking in, it looks like your government is being dismantled in the space of 2 weeks. An unelected oligarch is in charge of your treasury and raiding data from different departments. Do you really believe there will be free elections in 2 years? History suggests otherwise.

“Screaming. A million mouths screaming but also laughing the sky will bleed and there shall be a great flensing a burning away of the flesh it is coming there is no way to stop what is coming.”

Definitely not politically motivated... 😐
