The monotheistic religions made it normal to squash people: "I think there is something really special about the Bible [...] which is precisely this idea that the revelation of truth comes through the suffering of the weak." (Matthieu Poupart)

Then the Renaissance made it easier to blame the victim: With modernity, "it is the person who takes no initiative who is seen as responsible for the emergence of sexual promiscuity." (Matthieu Poupart)

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

Whoever has an opinion of his own, and honestly expresses it, will be guilty of heresy. Heresy is what the minority believe; it is the name given by the powerful to the doctrine of the weak.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1874-05-03), “Heretics and Heresies,” Free Religious Society, Kingsbury Hall, Chicago

@jaykuo Huh. Jeffries told Dems NOT to protest the tRumpo address. The ONLY CORRECT thing would be to boycott totally that address, or to turn their backs and walk out. But jeffries wanted "dignity".

Jeffries does NOT "get it". He merely sees an opportunity to gain influence within dem party.

He spread his ass cheeks to Johnson, and elected to flop in the House, just like rat schumer did in the Senate.

Don't bring strong worded letters to a gunfight.

Guest Contribution by #Mohamed #Hussien: "In #Defense of #Weak #Dualism"

This guest post is by Mohamed Hussien, who contacted me to see if I could publish his #essay "In Defense of Weak Dualism" on my site. It is true that I am not one of the outspoken "defenders of #dualism", whether weak or strong. On the contrary, I am primarily interested in #overcoming the 2500 years old #misconception in the #philosophy of #mind.

The originaltext is in English.

How can Kemi Badenoch manage to screw up delivering a response to an increase in defence spending!! She has managed to make it a partisan issue. #Woeful #Weak

Also how did both of them not manage to mention the threat that Tr**p now poses to the European continent! Get American boots out of Europe.

Hey #Albo! Are we going to cut ties with #Trump’s #America or are we joining the #AxisOfEvil too?

Take a stand. Do the right thing. Or continue to be the #weak, #useless Prime Minister we’ve become accustomed to.

#FiveEyes is completely compromised, we have #US bases on our land, Trump routinely turns on “allies” - you think we’ll be treated any differently?

Stop #AUKUS, defend democracy & stop being a lapdog to a #tyrant & #RussianAsset. #auspol #USPol

@cdarwin Charlotte Clymer reads the room

"...we need y'all to get angry. We need y'all to be pissed"

"We need y’all to remind us why we voted for you in the first place."

Otherwise, we're going to assume we are on our own, and proceed as though your tepid words don't matter.
