Hey, #Christians!
YES you, kinda out-there ones, on #YouTube, @gardiner_bryant & @geerlingguy.

YOU could help ALL OF US with an inter-cultural #Pacifism issue.

It's about the #MPV media player - perhaps this has been resolved, already. Last time i've checked, I'VE STILL BEEN MOCKED FOR EVEN TRYING TO OPT-OUT OF THAT SANTA HAT THING!

The NAME of that variable is/was rather offensive! (greenandgrumpy?)

Can YOU CHRISTIANS fix this internally, or do i have to exert external more public force?

Subnautica 2: lead designer Anthony Gallegos says the ban on killing predators is deliberate design, not some preachy NOT PACIFISM, the team at Unknown Worlds came from shooter mods and want players to learn to coexist, not conquer.

Inspired by SOMA and Alien: Isolation, the game will keep the tension but add gadgets for scaring off and baiting predators. Despite the debate, since May 14 it sold > 4M copies. ⚠️

Can we *cough* the media *caugh* please stop calling it peace talks and peace treaties when violent, opressive, colonialist regimes start a war and then negotiate an end to that war while getting everything they want?

"The vile, corrupt implosion of the American empire portends our preventative planning for familial security; let's fucking go." - Bombastic Bert Russell

Monday, May 18 is not Victoria Day. It is the 154th birthday of Welsh, anti-imperialist pacifist, Bertrand Russell. Celebrate wisely.

"On May 15th, International Conscientious Objection Day, we join together to send a clear and powerful message: we reject militarisation and affirm the right to refuse to kill, in response to growing efforts to promote military service as a solution to today’s crises."

If the essay Pacifism and the war was really written by George Orwell during WW2, it's very strange to me that his views on pacifism is not mentioned at all in his Wikipedia article.

The reason I feel uncertain about the origin of the text is because the best source for it I can find is this Russian website, and otherwise seemingly random blogs. Which is why I went to Wikipedia for more information about it.

A Child of Our Time by Michael Tippett, Sir Colin Davis, London Symphony Chorus, London Symphony Orchestra, released in 2008 on LSO Live.

A Child of Our Time is a secular oratorio by the British composer Michael Tippett, who also wrote the libretto. Composed between 1939 and 1941, it was first performed at the Adelphi Theatre, London, on 19 March 1944. The work was inspired by events that profoundly affected Tippett: the assassination of a German diplomat by a young Jewish refugee in 1938, and the Nazi government's reaction to the assassination which was in the form of a violent pogrom against Germany's Jewish population: Kristallnacht. Tippett's oratorio deals with these incidents in the context of the experiences of all oppressed people, and it carries a strongly pacifistic message of ultimate understanding and reconciliation. - Wikipedia
