‘It is not a Sunday in the countryside that we need, but a less artificial life.’
—Bernard Charbonneau, in « Le sentiment de la nature, une force révolutionnaire », 1937

It is our disconnection from nature that gives rise to the feeling that we lack something, that an essential part of our existence is missing.

Heterosexuality is a regime of political oppression 🧶

"Just as racism produces race and not the other way round, sexism produces sex through the relationship of domination that reduces the dominated to things or natural objects."
… said Natacha Chetcuti-Osorovitz summarizing Monique Wittig

The hatred is not because of you.
I wonder if people were scared of diversity. Some may fight back.

"It turns out that, actually, most people are uncomfortable around social difference and get considerably less comfortable when you point it out."

‘I came out as autistic. Everyone said: That explains a lot’

An autism diagnosis helped Laurie Penny make sense of their experiences, but its real value was in helping them understand the rest of society

The Observer

The monotheistic religions made it normal to squash people: "I think there is something really special about the Bible [...] which is precisely this idea that the revelation of truth comes through the suffering of the weak." (Matthieu Poupart)

Then the Renaissance made it easier to blame the victim: With modernity, "it is the person who takes no initiative who is seen as responsible for the emergence of sexual promiscuity." (Matthieu Poupart)

François #Bayrou is the current Prime Minister of #France.

In 1996, violence was denounced in the elite catholic school of his constituency. He made an official visit as both the then Minister of National Education and a member of the National Assembly for a seat in Béarn (the province of the school). He told the regional press: "The people of Béarn felt these attacks with a sense of pain and a sense of injustice. […] All the checks were favourable and positive."

Germans take pride in their diplomas. A mandatory lesson was that noone should touch a Jew.

Depression is when we don’t care for anything. We want to stay under the duvet. The duvet is comfortable. We would like to get out of it but we only have the motivation to stay warm.

Depression can develop into a disinterest for the world. Smiles appear bland, uninteresting. Pleasure and displeasure become indistinguishable, leading to a progressive anaesthesia of emotions.

Every time we make a mistake, our brain opens to #learning.
National schools humiliate children. A motivation is that its role is to justify the social status assigned to each.
Other forms of learning, on the other hand, have no meritocratic mission: children can learn for themselves.

"The construction of concentration camps was inspired by a similar policy developed by British colonies during the South African War" (the Second Boer War, 1899 – 1902).
https://allthatsinteresting.com/shark-island

To show willingness to use violence and terror, the Nazi regime created concentration camps often situated in suburbs of major cities. The first of these camps was opened at Dachau, near Munich in Bavaria, in March 1933.

Eight years later, the aim of the extermination camps was genocide: to murder and annihilate Jews and Roma. Chełmno was the first extermination camp to be established in December 1941. The Nazi regime decided to locate all six extermination camps in Poland.
