"The Muslims have overtly refused to feel humiliated, thereby denying the Hindutva crowd the satisfaction of having avenged the “humiliation” heaped on their “ancestors” centuries ago by the “outsiders.” In a perceptive 2003 essay on ‘Humiliation’, Professor Ashis Nandy, one of India’s most respected social psychologists, had noted that... Unless the humiliated collaborate by feeling humiliated, you cannot humiliate them, however hard you try"

The #GlobalSumudFlotilla has submitted an official complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) accusing Israeli military commanders and senior political leaders of war crimes, crimes against humanity, torture, and acts amounting to genocide.

Impunity is not inevitable. It is a choice. And it can be fought.

Palestine is the area inhabited continuously for ~4000 years by indigenous Palestinians.

They comprised 90% of the popn when, in 1917, imperial Britain decided - without consulting them - to hand over much of their land to immigrant Jews from Europe.

The sovereign rights of indigenous Palestinians were ignored. And still are.

Sound familiar? US, Can, Aus, NZ, etc.

#Microsoft says:

Uncoordinated disclosures that put proof-of-concept code for unpatched vulnerabilities into the hands of bad actors are never justifiable and have real-world consequences

Lucky for us, those vulns just occur spontaneously in nature. It would be awful if a company brought the unpatched vulnerabilities to market and sold them at a profit with no liability for doing so.

More to the point, it is a very debatable position that companies like Microsoft should have no accountability (warranty, liability, whatever) no matter how bad their released software is. Microsoft omits how the law treats them so specially.

Microsoft wants the exploit maker held accountable. Microsoft is very interested in seeing the law applied to HIM. Laws holding THEM accountable for vulns? Suddenly they’re not as interested.

Heisenberg’s importance. Windows occupies two simultaneous states: so important that we must’t recklessly disclose vulns, but not important enough to regulate for the good of society.

Although he subsequently apologised for the phrasing, Bill Winters (CEO, Standard Chartered), has introduced the phrase 'lower-value human capital' in to public discourse....

If you ever wanted an example of the contempt that our executive business class have for ordinary workers, this would be it... in just four words, Winters summed up the way the top table in most firms seem to see their workforce.

The inhumanity of the capitalist class is not new, but increasingly brazen!
