Maryam Alwan figured the worst was over after New York City police in riot gear arrested her and other protesters on the Columbia University campus, loaded them onto buses and held them in custody for hours....
Because it is unrelated to their studies/work at the university and they shouldnt be attacked for it by their institution/employer for their political views.
A Louisiana man has been sentenced to decades in prison and physical castration after pleading guilty to raping a teenager, according to a news release from the region’s district attorney....
Eye for an eye, was a law that allowed the (proven) victim to request the (proven) perpetrator up-to (but no more than) an equal punishment to the harm done. Yes a person who got his eye stoned out by crazy guy, could have the crazy guy’s eye stoned out. Which is, honestly, fair.
I guess in this case, the girl could request Mandingo to rape the guy, which, while deeply hilarious, might actually teach something, especially compared to just a jail sentence (that might be heavily reduced due to “good behaviour”)
Isn’t that a good way to teach the trauma a person caused? And I don’t see what place is there for hollywood civility when the person clearly ignored the social contract (so he isn’t part of it)
While I do question the “trauma causes people who cause trauma”, I guess I can agree that trauma just breaks people.
Prisoners being 'completely dehumanized" sounds like a separate issue, concerning the country in question. And maybe points to some details of its culture that are actually making traumatization part of society.
However, I did not intend to paint it so black and white. I imagined the social contract not to be immediately null and void, but rather, with regards to punishment, to be irrelevant, up to the damages of the crime.
I think you have to hike through largely untouched forests to a very remote lake to find sharp glass shards scattered across the little beach to realize that glass maybe isn’t the most environmentally-sound magic-solution that some people would like to think. It can be just as (and much worse) strong at causing ecological catastrophies that are incredibly expensive to clean up.
The symptoms are: littered streets, nature.
The causes: fuckfaced fuckwads for people. In all areas of society.

The House on Saturday passed a $95 billion aid package that includes two long-awaited bills with $60.8 billion of Ukraine aid and $26 billion in aid to Israel....
You’re not following his logic. He puts priority on the bigger genocide. And posits that there are too many Zionists in USA, so it’s much more hopeless to stop Israel support fast, might as well continue with the big fish.
Stopping Russia is about just sending ammunition and supplies to Ukraine, they will fight for themselves, but they might run out of bullets at this rate (literally the current state of affairs).
USA openly and cozily supports Israel with deep rooted Zionism, you cant change this quick it would appear, and is what my two comments and the other guy is saying.
Gaza strip is 0.5mil, Ukraine is 38mil. Russia doing another Holodomor is entirely real and possible.
The University of Southern California has cancelled a scheduled commencement speech by Asna Tabassum, citing unnamed security concerns after her selection as valedictorian was met with a wave of online attacks directed at her pro-Palestinian views....
Ah yes let’s put a firm declaration of our views upon life, genocide and political views later… at a more convenient time… we’ll totally get around to it… just have to wait for the right time… which isn’t now… not tomorrow… but you know, it will crop up. Definitely not the fucking time which is traditionally known as the time given to voice one’s views out of respect for hard work and achievement.
I think it’s more so that the corporate culture lately is extremely short-sighted and makes lay-offs in incredibly dumb ways (i.e. you can see their future half-year problems). Which many times will need to be re-hired by paying lots of money to idiotic recruiters to hire new people (because the older folks have switched ship and are not coming back) and train them. Lots of instability caused by extremely poor management (who get payed a lot even though they make stupid decisions).
Indeed… top comment is a bit more… emotional. I just try to perceive where the general emotion is coming from (because it is definitely shared by many)
Well, if the internet is all bots conversing with other bots, and then bots trying to censor other bots and any human-like treatment of humans is not economical/too complicated, then it connects for me.
Funnily enough, wanted to just find one of those reels where the girl sits on the gas tank in front, legs pincered over the guy, because I wanted to show it to my girlfriend as a thing to do 😄
On October 27, three weeks into Israel’s war with Hamas, Biden’s top foreign policy officials told a small group at the White House that “Israel was regularly bombing buildings without solid intelligence that they were legitimate military targets,” the newspaper wrote, citing three sources familiar with the meeting....
Don’t know how much the information is novel, but the fact that there is evidence that whitehouse intelligence told Biden “Israel is bombing indiscriminately (warcrimes)” is legally damning, while “I dont know the situation, but I support Israel beliefs” is unbelievably ignorant, but not directly attributable to willful participation in genocide.
