A colonizer is always angry, because a colonizer is always guilty.
A colonizer is always violent, because a colonizer is always afraid.A colonizer is always angry and afraid because a colonizer is never home.

Mendicants, I will teach you about nine things rooted in craving. And what are the nine things rooted in craving? Craving is a cause of seeking. Seeking is a cause of gaining material possessions. Gaining material possessions is a cause of assessing. Assessing is a cause of desire and lust. Desire and lust is a cause of attachment. Attachment is a cause of ownership. Ownership is a cause of stinginess. Stinginess is a cause of safeguarding. Owing to safeguarding, many bad, unskillful things come to be: taking up the rod and the sword, quarrels, arguments, and fights, accusations, divisive speech, and lies. These are the nine things rooted in craving.

La question calédonienne est une question coloniale, et le colonialisme est une violence : né dans la violence, prolongé par la violence, enfantant la violence.

“People think we’re sending a big check to Ukraine,” Gregory Hayes, CEO of RTX, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “The fact is what most of that money will do [is] support American defense industries here in the U.S.”
The five largest U.S. defense companies — Lockheed Martin, RTX, General Dynamics, Boeing and Northrop Grumman — had Department of Defense contracts totaling more than $118 billion in fiscal year 2022, according to the Congressional Research Service.
L’esprit carabin ne peut servir d’excuse aux agissements sexistes, au harcèlement, à l’agression sexuelle, dénonce un collectif de soignantes. Elles décrivent un système hiérarchique patriarcal verrouillé et demandent la fin de l’impunité.
En 2020, suite à la cérémonie des césars, Virginie Despentes a publié une tribune dans ce même journal : « Désormais on se lève et on se barre ». Aujourd’hui, en 2024, à l’Hôpital, nous voulons affirmer : « Désormais on se relève, on reste, et on en finit avec l’impunité ». Plus jamais il ne devra être dit qu’on parle mais que vous n’entendez pas.
Nous tous⸱tes, médecins, infirmier⸱es, aides-soignant⸱es, personnels administratifs travaillons et avons été formé⸱es à l’Hôpital et nous y sommes attachés.
I hold my face in my two hands.
No, I am not crying.
I hold my face in my two hands
to keep the loneliness warm—
two hands protecting,
two hands nourishing,
two hands preventing
my soul from leaving me
in anger.

In March, an aspiring author got a troubling message: All of her works in progress were no longer accessible. What happened next is every writer’s worst fear.
Google never specified which of her 222,000 words was inappropriate.

Generally speaking, files containing #violence, #abuse, child sexual abuse material, and gore violate the terms of service for Google Drive and its associated products, like Docs and Sheets.
Now many of you will be thinking, who is stupid enough to store everything in the Google #cloud? The problem is we know that, but many people out there don't. We urgently need to do more educational work and warn people about companies like Google and their practices. Tell all your friends and acquaintances and don't use the clouds of the big corporations.

To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything is to succumb to violence.
The frenzy of the activist neutralizes his (or her) work [...] It destroys the fruitfulness of his [...] work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful.

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN*
Australia’s problem with male violence is getting worse. So, what’s the solution?
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/29/australia/australia-women-gendered-violence-intl-hnk/index.html
I think the difficulty is that most of us, at least those who are in #authority, they prefer #violence because they want quick solutions and to be able to #control people through #fear. And so they encourage more and more violence so that they could maintain that fear.
And it has seeped so deep down into society that we, even our #parenting style has become violent. Every time we #punish a child for misbehavior we are planting the first seeds of violence in their minds. They come to realize that anybody who does something wrong must be punished. And so that whole cycle of violence continues from there.
What it means now is that we have to look for an alternative and try to incorporate that in our life. And i think that is what my grandfather [ #MahatmaGandhi ] wanted to do and he demonstrated through his philosophy and his life, that it can be achieved and it can be done if we have that desire to do it.

France is asking the #EU to impose new sanctions to target Russian disinformation and election interference around the world, Bloomberg reported on April 24, citing a draft proposal from #France.
The proposal "would target those responsible for threatening the stability, security or #sovereignty of EU member states or third countries by undermining elections, the rule of law, facilitating acts of #violence or do so through the use of information manipulation and interference," Bloomberg wrote.
The governments of #Belgium and #Czechia also warned earlier in April that Russia was operating a disinformation and interference network targeting the upcoming EU parliamentary election.

Par ailleurs une nouvelle preuve que le mieux est l'ennemi du bien : des gens qui se prétendent de mon bord si l'on en croit leur activité ici, sont pourtant extrêmement méprisants concernant mon activité et prétendent être plus purs dans la qualité de leurs partages, jusqu'à me harceler à ce sujet. Sans doute pour récupérer une audience qu'ils estiment légitime, quels qu'en soient les moyens. Une méthode violente qui crée une lutte interne contreproductive. Désolé par avance si ce genre de commentaire (auquel je pourrais avoir à répondre s'ils sont mensongers ou calomnieux) est publié sur votre timeline, je n'y suis pour rien non plus.
