The Holocaust did not begin with killing; it began with words.
Genocides do not start with mass murder. That's where they end up.
Genocides & other mass atrocity crimes begin with words - specifically, with powerful people dehumanizing a minority.
Once they are seen as less than human, anything is possible, even mass murder.
👉 You can speak out loudly today for the rights of others, or you can stay silent & wait for tomorrow, when your rights will be taken away too.
@andrewstroehlein A lot of hate speech is being normalized under the label free speech. This leads to the escalation of violence in vocabulary. Free speech should not be free of responsibility - or content moderation - otherwise it’s anarchy. There needs to be regulation and accountability for social media platforms like for other media.
« In the beginning was the word » and words lead to actions.

Unadulterated capitalism is toxic. I find it frightening how unchallenged people repeat the mantra a company has one goal, which is profit.
Absolutely not! No entity has the right to put profit over the well-being of the individual or the community or the environment.
We need strong anarchistic, socialistic and democratic regulations in our society so that the natural instinct of any capitalist entity is to learn to benefit all three as much as able.

As seen in recent days confirmed again, politicians are too corrupt to undo Reaganomics. Robert Reich calculated the cost of additional paid sick days at 1,5% of the current profit margin of railroad companies. It is scandalous.
