"To be different without fear."
T.W. Adorno, Minima Moralia

"The referendum, Mr Sivaraman said, had "mainstreamed a torrent of racism" and emboldened people to "immediately challenge" any small measure granting self-determination to Indigenous people. People feel like the defeat of the Voice has given them licence to espouse their racist views...Racism towards First Nations people within Australia had been a "constant" for 238 years that "escalated dramatically" when there was something to attach it to, like cultural heritage protections or the Voice referendum."

@RitaWerner Aber nur blockieren wird sie auch nicht weiterbringen. Irgendwann müssen wieder beschlüsse gefasst werden... Die nächste Klimakatastrophe wird sicher auch kommen... Mich erinnert das an #whiterage im Appalachia/US wo die europäischen Amerikaner lieber einen präsidenten wählen der ihre ohnehin schon schlechte Gesundheitsversorgung weiter verschlechtert nur weil er ihnen zumindest das Gefühl gibt das sie noch wichtiger als afrikanische Amerikaner .. traurig

"One of my favorite descriptions of resentment is from Tolstoy: “I sit on a man’s back choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am sorry for him and wish to lighten his load by all means possible … except by getting off his back.”

The poor fellow being choked and burdened here isn’t “utterly corrupted” by the “besetting sin” of resentment. He may have some thoughts about turning the tables, or someday receiving some reparation for what is unjustly being done to him. But mainly, overwhelmingly, his concern is simply getting this guy off his back."
