Someone said to Socrates that a certain man had grown no better in his travels. "I should think not," he said. "He took himself along with him."
-Montaigne

“Marx says that revolutions are the locomotives of world history. But the situation may be quite different. Perhaps revolutions are not the train ride, but the human race grabbing for the emergency brake.”
-Walter Benjamin, fragment from The Arcades

“The overwhelming majority of bullying incidents take place in front of an audience with private persecution relatively rare. Much of bullying is about humiliation, and the effects cannot really be produced without someone to witness them. Sometimes, onlookers actively abet the bully, laughing, goading, or joining in. More often, the audience is passively acquiescent. Only rarely does anyone step in to defend a classmate being threatened, mocked, or physically attacked.” — David Graeber

David Graeber often wrote about Debt, Slavery, Neo-Liberalism, and modern work......but he also wrote about Bullying, which is connected to all the above subjects.

“Several plays have been written lately that deal with the monstrous injustice of the social code of morality at the present time. It is indeed a burning shame that there should be one law for men and another law for women. I think that there should be no law for anybody.”

-Oscar Wilde

“Remaining faithful to a line of thinking first of all involves learning to resist it.”
-Isabelle Stengers (Belgian philosopher)

Rudolf Rocker: "I am an anarchist not because I believe anarchism is the final goal, but because I believe there is no such thing as a final goal. Freedom will lead us to continually wider and expanding understandings and to new social forms of life."

“It bursts on the edges of memory like a downed marauder bomb going up distant, but not far enough off to be safe.”

«میتَرکد بر مرزهای خاطره چونان بمب غارتگر فروافتاده‌ای که در دوردست‌ها منفجر میشود، اما نه آنچنان دور که در امان باشی».

Labor's Partisans: Book Review - New Politics “Putting the movement back in the labor movement,” is an expression that you hear regularly at union events. The sentiment speaks to the idea that labor needs to be aspirational, visionary and connect...

It is exceptionally simple. The original post was a propagandistic video for a very specific political character. The gentleman made an extremely relevant point about the said character. You started accusing him of gendered bias. And I said what you assumed to be his “intentions” was irrelevant.🤷🏽‍♂️

So, she is not the only asshole! She is in the company of many many other assholes. Is that where the bar is for you?

You made two points and none of them were relevant to the actual accusation.
Just because something has been happening for a long time doesn’t absolve you of the minimum you can and must do to stop it. Do better, Darling.
