Queen 1066I'm getting the feeling that #middleeastern leaders are starting to wonder whether they will be able to control the people. The #socialcontract is being broken because of the easy way the #USA and #Israel bribed them.
WIST QuotationsGrant them removed, and grant that this your noise
Hath chid down all the majesty of England;
Imagine that you see the wretched strangers,
Their babies at their backs and their poor luggage,
Plodding tooth ports and costs for transportation,
And that you sit as kings in your desires,
Authority quite silent by your brawl,
And you in ruff of your opinions clothed;
What had you got? I’ll tell you. You had taught
How insolence and strong hand should prevail,
How order should be quelled; and by this pattern
Not one of you should live an aged man,
For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
Would feed on one another.

🌱🏴🅰️🏳️⚧️🐧🔧📎 AmbiyelpI know what the social contract is in relation to political philosophy, I'm familiar with Hobbes, what I'm curious about is how it relates to your personal understanding of why you get to hurt innocent chickens
What precisely about the specific social contract you are invoking means that you should be allowed to hurt chickens who have done nothing to hurt you

Aimee SurprenantAmericans are socialized from an early age that if you can’t help everyone, you shouldn’t help _anyone_. It starts in kindergarten—did you bring enough for the whole class? If not, then no one can have any. This paralyzes us and makes us feel guilty rather than good when we help just one person—what about all the other deserving people you aren’t helping? It has partially led to our crisis of empathy. Is it the same all over the world?
JürgenHeute bin ich wieder mal nicht gut bestrahlt im #opnv #öpnvtales #opnvgeschichten : allgemein scheint das ja inzwischen der akzeptiert #socialcontract zu sein, dass man immer zwei Sitze blockiert. Einer für den eigenen Hintern und einer für die Tasche. Was heute neu war: dass auch noch für die Tasche das kleine Tischen runtergeklappt wird. Und dass man an der engsten Stelle des Bahnsteigs stehenbleibt um sich lasziv in den mantel reinzuräkeln passiert auch nicht oft. Was ein asoziales Gesocks!
Srijit Kumar BhadraHuman conflicts trouble me. And I am not a subject matter expert. Yet, I have been reflecting on the dominant empirical patterns in human conflicts that I am aware of. At their core, these conflicts arise from hunger and existential threat. Over the past two centuries, economic desperation, scarcity of resources, and a lack of trust have consistently served as enabling conditions for war and major unrest. This lack of trust may appear as weakened social or political institutions, mutual suspicion among groups or nations, or institutional collapse. These factors often intertwine with power politics, ethnic divisions, nationalism, ideological struggles, and failures in governance.
Prosperity alone does not guarantee peace. However, populations that are well fed, economically secure, embedded in high-trust societies, and protected by functioning social contracts generally remain calm and non-violent. In contrast, desperation and distrust create conditions that make mobilization into conflict far more likely. Exceptions may exist, but this pattern holds broadly.

When cowardice is made respectable, its followers are without number both from among the weak and the strong; it easily becomes a fashion.
Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 203 (1955)
