A quotation from Herbert Hoover
The very basis of Representative Government is a two‐party system. It is one of the essential checks and balances against inefficiency, dishonesty, and tyranny.
An organized, effective opposition which insists upon disclosure of the facts and submits them to the anvil of debate is the one safety Representative Government has.
Moreover, the people must have alternative programs of action upon which they may decide at the ballot box.
Beyond this, any party in power accumulates barnacles and deadwood which can only be rid by a change in administration.
Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) American engineer, bureaucrat, US President (1929-33)
Speech (1951-08-01), “On the Two-Party System,” Utah Republican Outing, Salt Lake City, Utah

The other day, I stumbled upon some incidental music I had written a few years ago for a theatre production focused on the working conditions and struggles of female laborers in Austria. Their solidarity and perseverance were key in challenging inhumane practices and securing rights we often take for granted today: sick pay, care allowances, vacation time.
To set the right atmosphere for the play, which takes place in the 1920s and 1930s, I delved into workers’ and partisan songs from that era. I spent time exploring archives and various online and offline collections, eventually narrowing down a selection of songs I would use or that inspired me to compose original pieces.
One traditional song I kept unchanged and chose to arrange was Nebbi'a la valle, an olive picker's song from Abruzzo. There’s something haunting about the melody. It is striking in its simplicity, and yet it lingers long after it’s heard. Here is a recording I did for archival purposes (not mixed or mastered, and we had one stereo mic we used during a live show)

This song with a text full of evocative analogies is said to have been sung by partisans. With fascism reappearing in various forms across Europe today, I find meaning in keeping these musical memories alive.

A quotation from Joseph Addison
Every one that has been long dead has a due proportion of praise allotted him, in which, whilst he lived, his friends were too profuse, and his enemies too sparing.
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-06-26), The Spectator, No. 101

“One of the goals of #politicalviolence is to silence opposition,” said Lilliana Mason, a political scientist at Johns Hopkins University who studies violence and #political #partisanship. “It’s not just the act against a few people or victims. The idea is that you want to silence more people than you physically harm.”
"It's quite telling to watch such simple-minded people escalate straight to defcon one in a dispute, going overnight from proclaiming their love for someone to calling them a paedophile and demanding their impeachment. They do not have the nuance to engage in a dispute without reducing it to Book of Revelations blood-and-fire hyper #partisanship. They just don't have the cognitive ability for any subtlety or grading whatsoever."
