African American doctors attempting to save the life of a Klu Klux Klan member:
This photo left me speechless, this is what respect is.
this is what grace is
“No longer to be poisoned by civilisation, he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild.”
If you ever get the chance, watch a film called ‘Into The Wild’. It’s based on the real diaries of a man in his early twenties, who gives up everything to live in the wilds of Alaska.
Huh, sounds interesting :)
It’s a great movie, worth watching!
tommyjoe42 said: Even in the internet era, it’s difficult to truly know what’s going on in another country, so to me when protests arise in another country one’s options are to either support their cause or sit quietly by and shut up :P
It’s a great policy… I wish more people adhered to it. =)
“This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her. She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted.
Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly. “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.”
This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.”
This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.”
this is why performance art is important
So every single person who told me ‘ignore them they’ll go away’ and ‘you can’t let them know they bothered you’ and ‘They’ll stop if they don’t see you react’ and all that bull shit, my entire school career, I want you to look good and hard at this.
I want you to think about what you said.
What you keep saying.
What you are telling your children.
You are making them powerless.
that last comment. actually crying.

Psychological/spiritual/ideological warfare in a nutshell.
He’s like “those protesters are all dumb look it’s the inflation the prices really aren’t that high look at all these statistics here you should all shut the fuck up because this is an invalid motive for protest if you look at the numbers closely”. He hasn’t defended to cops yet, but to arrive there it’d only be a step.

Yeah it’s just… goddammit he’s not even LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY anymore and he feels entitled to pass his enlightened judgement on us. I believe I’ve made my point against his opinions damn well clear, but I’ve quit the argument when he started to straw-man protesters as ill-intentioned/ignorants communists.
