There's this tenacious idea that in an unequal society, those at the top are the winners. That is, if you manage to avoid oppression, and if you manage to do the oppressing yourself, then you've got yourself a good life.

I'm a white man in an affluent country, and I'm here to tell you why that's bullshit.

"We need to take some of the shine off of [our language about Christmas]. You know, the Christmas season in the Bible was not full of shine. It was full of an authoritarian wanting to kill babies in order to hold on power."

~ William J. Barber II

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

If we admit that some infinite being has controlled the destinies of persons and peoples, history becomes a most cruel and bloody farce. Age after age, the strong have trampled upon the weak; the crafty and heartless have ensnared and enslaved the simple and innocent, and nowhere, in all the annals of mankind, has any god succored the oppressed.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1872-01-29), “The Gods,” Fairbury Hall, Fairbury, Illinois

Almost three-quarters of forces across the #UK are using #technology to try to “predict crime” - with little regard for our #HumanRights.

Restricting our rights in this way does not keep us safe.

Is your #police force using this technology in YOUR area?

The dominant story told by states, police departments, and those who own the world’s wealth insists that human beings are naturally violent and must therefore be controlled… This claim is so endlessly repeated that many take it as truth…
