7 patterns of dominance.
(A thread 
)
1. Tolerance.
Allowing small doses of difference (especially those that are of benefit to our own or our company/organization's agenda) – but never enough to cause change to the power relationship. Diversity, but not equity!
"If you spot the problem, you are the problem."
We all act like our structures of oppression are only of interest to, and the responsibility of, those who are oppressed by them.
"This president is a master of distraction and is destroying what it took 250 years to build. Here’s another distraction in his quest for attention. Another failure of his first 100 days." #civilrights #history #smithsonian #oppression #racism #trump #maga #fascism #authoritarianism

"If subjectivity itself, in a liberal way of thinking, is thought illegitimate as a concept then it is made no more legitimate by designating yourself trans or pansexual or anything else. Postanarchistic thinking does away with the very idea of such essentialistic, sovereign identities, trans as well as cis, pan as well as heterosexual, and, in fact, “makes impossible closure or totality of any kind.” Much like liberal feminism is faulty in thinking that if we get female bosses we have solved some feminist problem, it is equally faulty to imagine that if our particular subjectivity gets “accepted” that we have, thereby, invented any sort of genuine equality, or made any kind of progress, at all. In fact, we have only extended the domesticating subjection of subjectivities."
"A Russian journalist who faced up to 10 years in prison for criticising the army has escaped house arrest and is now wanted by police…
Ekaterina Barabash "had been an outspoken critic of Moscow's military offensive on Ukraine…
Rights groups said authorities are using the law to wage an unprecedented crackdown on dissent reminiscent of the Soviet era.
Fleeing house arrest is risky in Russia, but not unheard of. Former Russian state TV journalist Marina Ovsyannikova, who protested against the Ukraine conflict during a live broadcast, escaped Russia in 2022 after fleeing house arrest.”

Concern over #asbis after people #jailed for #feeding #birds
Almost 250 people #imprisoned for breaching #antisocial behaviour injunctions (asbis) since 2020; people being jailed for sleeping rough, begging, feeding birds & making a #noise
A man, who breached an injunction by continuing to feed pigeons on his balcony was imprisoned for 15 weeks
“I started feeding birds with my mum in the 1960s"
Why someone ‘not minding’ isn’t a reason to ignore their needs, or take advantage of them in any way.
Intuition is something that less powerful people have more of.

#Labor has #failed in its #promise to #protect #whistleblowers, which has made it clear only minority parties can achieve that goal.
Despite it being Easter and that I should be enjoying the day with my children, I have such an overwhelming feeling of oppression that looms over me like a dark cloud.
#Queensland is implementing an #authoritarian #regime which further enhances #state control at the expense of fundamental civil #liberties.

I am assembling a Reading Guide to Arendt's massive historical analysis of totalitarianism and how it works: video reflections and a reading guide.
Please share where it seems important.
excerpt:
#Punkrock’s rebellious anger aimed at the forces of #economic and #political #oppression and its #lofi, #DIY aesthetic are among the reasons the genre took hold with some #Indigenous musicians. It’s a connection that continues to resonate with both players and audiences. Kristen Martinez (#Yaqui and #Mexican) is both a #punk performer and a graduate student researching the #history of the Indigenous contributions to the legacy of punk, one short, loud, and angry song at a time.
#TimothySnyder has written an extremely relevant article concerning “state terror” which is being promoted by the US regime through dehumanizing language and their abandonment of the rule of law.

State Terror
The Kenyan government, under the orders of the dictator William Ruto, has been brutalizing, abducting and killing Kenyan citizens. #RutoMustGo
In this case, and not for the first time, he's attacking children.
