A quotation from Watterson, Bill
CALVIN: A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1992-08-08)

There is no #correct #context to deal with censorship, because #it #would #be #censored. I informed you of a censorious attitude that I have suffered and that you too may suffer from some people in the #diaspora. Many #people “talk” #about #freedom but “act” by #censoring. I’m no longer a boy, I’m an adult: if a person deletes what I write just because he is #wrong and what I say clearly #demonstrates it, then the #censor must be pilloried in the streets. Everyone needs to know that that person is not capable of sustaining a #RESPECTFUL comparison. And there is no other way to say that a person is #bullying others (by #deleting posts!) other than as I am doing, that is, by spreading the word. Because #bullies #ERASE #your #arguments, especially when you are right.
Supremacists only feel "safe" if the people they hate are cowering in fear of their eagerness to deliver the next punch/kick/bullet
--- James Kroeger
(Note: I wouldn't say "only" but that can be one relatively common way to feel safe for people with a supremacist mindset)

#Barclays has form when it comes to cutting elderly widows off from their money. The reasons for the closures differ, but the underlying incompetence and insouciance are disturbingly similar.
Your mother fell victim to EU rules which, post-Brexit, require UK banks to apply for separate licences to serve customers in each EU country.
There is a set process for claiming the balance from a defunct account, but a succession of errors stymied your efforts. First you were told that the account was dormant, rather than closed. This meant you were directed to follow the wrong process, which got you nowhere.
Next, branch staff failed to acknowledge your LPA documents, which meant your mother was put through the stress of signing a letter of authority.
Barclays only admitted these blunders after I got in touch and it took a media prod to get it to release the funds

"We make many of our most important decisions based on what can only be called cognitive illusions. This is embarrassing for us to realise, but the evidence for it is undeniable."
so to that, i say:
"there is no shame in the truth." -- Minbari Religious Cast Elder to Student, Babylon5.
"head into the wave." -- me / old saying / unattributed
as in find your way to where you no longer defeat yourself with your subborn clinging to your self image as one who makes no such errors.
embrace the errors.
then you are on the path. then you are learning.
our confirmation bias, our cognitive illusions, are due eternal vigilance, to not succumb to their blinding arogance and mental/investigative/scrutinative sloth.
this is true whether stupid, or oh so much more clever.
especially if you are oh so much more clever.
because if you really are oh so much more clever, you will suffer more fuel on that fire.
and also, thinking you're oh so much more clever, is improbably true. not that i'm saying truth's always derivable, or even aproachable, through simple statistical analysis, but... since we're always going on a little information, and the dangerousness of how little that information is, can be worsened by how much littler we make it by our confirmation-biasing, cognitive illusions, our slothful lazy hastey grasp on shortcuts, we dont even realise, we're doing it, we dont even realise how little we have, and we tell ourselves we have a lot, we tell ourselves as much as we have, is a lot of what there is, even to the extreme, that it's all there is. unwittingly, we become know it alls, with next to nothing. and we think we're the smarty-est.
there's no shame in the truth.
we're not that smart.
we're not as smart as we think we are. no shame in the truth, that we think we're smart, and that we think that's smarter than we are.
knowing this,
helps us get smarter.
wiser.
wise enough to continue learning.
wise enough to catch ourselves from short-handed thinking.
wise enough to see when we have, and wise enough eagerly accept that, and even point it out to others. wise enough to accept we'll likely never absolutely be beyond this, and even more likely are not beyond it right now, and so reapplies the humility introspective vigilance, not to identify as one who has risen above it, but to persist in plucking away and batting away all the times it has happened already, and all the times more oncoming.
"all i know is i know nothing, and sometimes i forget even that much." -- Me, often, but not often enough without vanity, not often enough really heeding what i (and socrates) mean by it.

Central to the fascist's playbook is claiming to be the victim. It's an essential part of stoking anger and hatred among their followers.
These motherfuckers cry and moan about being "victims" just before they blow up Planned Parenthood, sabotage your infrastructure, shoot your children, ban books, demonize minorities, deny you healthcare, steal your money, and otherwise seize control of every aspect of your life .
We are dangerously foolish to let them get away with one iota of it. It's way past time to crack the fuck down and stop putting up with their murderous, authoritarian bullshit.

Informative conversation with #JamesRoguski, #health and #human rights reporter, on the WHO's secret negotiations with numerous countries on a working panel seeking to amend the already-draconian International Health Regulation treaty of 2005 in ways which will #completely #strip all #people #everywhere #of #basic human #rights and tie the hands of sovereign governments from protecting their own people
The ADL are a tool of oppressive coercion, rank hypocrisy, repression of free speech, bullying and blackmail.

An interesting perspective on the role of gaslighting in fascism.
Yes, in hindsight, it's obvious that gaslighting (on steroids) is a cornerstone of fascism. But (I'm ashamed to admit that) it's new to me to think of it as gaslighting, per se, instead of just plain lying: The goal isn't only to deceive; it's to get you to abandon your trust in everything except the gaslighters; it's not just misinformation, it's mind control.
A summary of the Trump/Jones/Bannon/... and every other gaslighting motherfucker's Play Book:
... Through the power of bullshit, Alex Jones has evaded consequences for his actions for decades. His strategy is simple: Lie to the audience by claiming to be the victim of a vast conspiracy. This opens a fountain of loyalty and, crucially, money.
Beating the bullshit and gaslighting:
... Mark Bankston, the lawyer for the Sandy Hook parents, revealed that he was in possession of the entire contents of Jones' cellphone, something Jones clearly didn't realize...
... a flicker of concern crossed his face, a small sign of fear that this may, after all this time, be a problem that Jones can't escape through lying and bombast...
And the delicious implications for Trump:
... The House committee investigating the Capitol riot has indicated an interest in getting the phone records. During recess, Bankston was heard saying into a hot mic, "You know what nobody's thought about yet? What happens when that phone goes to law enforcement." On Thursday, Bankston said in court that he's producing Jones' phone records to the committee immediately after the hearing unless the judge orders him not to, to which the judge replied that she wasn't sure he could even refuse to do so.
