#freedom #speech #Chomsky

Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.

Noam Chomsky

Sir Reg
Goodbye to all your freedoms

Now it’s time to remove the shackles
The sweet yonder years passed me by
Don’t believe what I read in the one-sided news,
#propaganda they make you believe
Slam the door on the fake agendas
Only you make your mind up, not them
We can learn from the mistakes of lies in the past,
now they’re haunting us all to give in

Stand up and fight for what you believe in
You’re letting them take it away
When the many are few and the few have the #money,
you fight ‘til the end of the day

So goodbye to all your #freedom
They’re closing the borders again
We fought all lives for our people
With sword and the gun and the pen
So goodbye to all your freedom
You followed and swallowed the crimes
Stand up for yourself and your families
Now everything’s put on the line
Hope we make it this time

Dry your eyes and draw back the curtains
On the life that you’re programmed to live
Tell me, what do you think now is normal aul pal,
I can see that you’ve no fucks to give

In this time of severe #depression,
been staring the train in the eyes
Now I’ll strap on my mask and run down to the shops,
now my bullshit has grown a disguise

We stand up and fight for what we #believe in,
we won’t let let them take it away,
When the many are few and the few have the money
We’ll fight ‘til the end of the day

Down all the years, we’ve been stung by the gleam in their eyes
Gone are the times, they’ve been lying to save their behinds
In the end there’ll be war, we can promise you that much you know
They’ll cheer you when you’re on your way up
And jeer you along the way down

NO MORE NEW KERNELs produced here

For as long as the hypocritical intervention of the US government into Free Open Software lasts

Basically the problem lies with the tolerance of the FOSS community to allow government intervention to what is called free and open among people of this planet despite of their origin, nationality, residence, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual origin, religious affiliation or lack there of, and by this tolerance are allowing those in power to take action against the powerless.

In support and #solidarity to ALL US residents who will continue to use, run, produce, contribute to FOSS despite of the legality their government is trying to impose. If they discontinue using it that wouldn't be either free or open.

This does not change the fact that the Bluesky app and the AT Protocol do not use #blockchains or #cryptocurrency, and we will not hyperfinancialize the #social experience (through #tokens, crypto #trading, #NFTs, etc.).

But taking #money from this swamp is OK? What's the color of money 💵 - don't tell me that it is green cause I know it's red. Dancing with the devil won't change the devil but you.

A quotation from Roosevelt, Theodore

If the man works for evil, then the more successful he is the more he should be despised and condemned by all upright and farseeing men. To judge a man merely by success is an abhorrent wrong; and if the people at large habitually so judge men, if they grow to condone wickedness because the wicked man triumphs, they show their inability to understand that in the last analysis free institutions rest upon the character of citizenship, and that by such admiration of evil they prove themselves unfit for liberty.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

Ada & Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream

from FSFE

https://fsfe.org/activities/ada-zangemann/index.en.html

The famous inventor Zangemann lives in a huge villa high above the city. Adults and children alike love his inventions and are desperate to have them. But then something happens: when Zangemann wants to take another close-up look at his inventions during a walk through the city, a child hits him in the shin with the skateboard. That hurts! Enraged, the inventor makes a momentous decision... The clever girl Ada sees through what is going on. Together with her friends, she forges a plan.\
\
This illustrated book tells the story of the famous inventor Zangemann and the girl Ada, a curious tinkerer. Ada begins to experiment with hardware and software, and in the process realises how crucial it is for her and others to control technology.\
\
A book that arouses children's interest in tinkering and encourages shaping technology. From age 6 to 106.

Born before 1918? This book is not for you. :)

There is a video. Here are links to some copies. Not all of these worked for me. It's 31:32 long.

#PACE hearing on Julian #Assange's #detention and conviction and their chilling effects on human rights

watch: https://www.youtube.com/live/Mq85IZMeigc?t=746s

It is a shame for Western democracy that neither #Sweden nor the #UK have a review and a committee of inquiry into the failure of justice and US interference in the supposedly independent judiciary in the Assange case. Unfortunately, many politicians in Western Europe believe that human rights are only violated in Russia, China or Afghanistan, but not on their own doorstep. Distracted by the many crises and the rise of far-right parties, Europe is heading straight into diabolical chaos 😱

Elon #Musk makes his first appearance at a #Trump #rally and casts the #election in dire terms

Source: https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-donald-trump-rally-butler-election-f718967ec29431a2b9858b1121e70da1

Before a large crowd Saturday, Musk sought to portray Trump as a champion of free speech, arguing that Democrats want “to take away your #freedom of speech, they want to take away your right to bear arms, they want to take away your right to vote, effectively.” Musk went on to criticize a California effort to ban voter ID requirements.

Stop misusing Popper’s ‘Paradox of Tolerence’ in free speech debates. | by giggs boson | Medium

#politics #freedom #speech #disinformation

As you can see this is a very different argument than the cartoon gives us. Popper is clearly referring to those who refuse to debate their ideas**, and instead want to use violence and force to supress debate and speech.

“We must stand united to protect reproductive justice and preserve the rights of all people to control their own bodies.
