A quotation from George Orwell

All nationalists have the power of not seeing resemblances between similar sets of facts. A British Tory will defend self-determination in Europe and oppose it in India with no feeling of inconsistency. Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage — torture, the use of hostages, forced labour, mass deportations, imprisonment without trial, forgery, assassination, the bombing of civilians — which does not change its moral colour when it is committed by ‘our’ side.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1945-05), “Notes on Nationalism,” Polemic Magazine (1945-10)

One of my public school students in 1977 at his Little League game. I hope some day gay people are more accepted as teachers. Sadly, it has not improved during my lifetime. #civilrights #equalrights #gayrights #endbigotry #publicschool #publicschools #publicschoolteacher #publicschoolteachers #1970s #littleleague #littleleagues #baseball #baseballplayer #baseballplayers #softball #softballplayer #softballplayers #tribe #tribes #monkeytribe #monkeytribes #monkeytribalism #tribalism

Yesterday I played this set at a small release party at Tropiska Föreningen in the Stockholm suburb Örnsberg.
Beginning with a mashup of Sunn O))) and my own band Vox Vulgaris. Continuing for over two hours with a sometimes chaotic mix of #idm, #breakbeat, #reggaeton, #acid, #tribe, #grime, #electro, #jungle, #footwork... even some unreleased #medievalmusic by Vox Vulgaris!
