RE: https://veganism.social/@Geri/116537676967800066
Folks, just a quick warning: If you’re against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, avoid mastodon.online.
They deleted two of Geri’s posts.
Geri is a wonderful activist and an inspiration from the UK who has braved arrest to shine a light on Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
Do give her a follow on her new account as she lost quite a few followers during the migration.
Also, to our friends in Gaza, please don’t create accounts on this server.

How a University’s #Censorship #Conference Got #Censored
Less than 72 hours before #WeberStateUniversity in #Utah was scheduled to host a conference on #censorship , presenters were told not to discuss #identityPolitics , or be removed from the official program agenda. In an email to presenters selected to participate in the 27th Annual Unity Conference, titled “#Redacted : Navigating the Complexities of Censorship,”

A teacher in Rockford holds Heather Has Two Mommies against her chest and decides to leave it on the shelf. Third grade. The DOJ has just told 36 Illinois school districts that book might be a civil rights violation. No specific incident cited. The investigation is the punishment. A child reading about a family that looks like hers is not a crime.

Canadians!
Another reminder that these bills are rapidly progressing through the chambers. Bill C-12 passed while Bills C-8, C-9, and S-209 passed their first chambers and are rapidly progressing through their second chambers.
If these bills weren't bad enough, the Canadian government is trying to rush a bill that's essentially the United States' FISA and CLOUD Act rolled into one: C-22, the Lawful Access Act.
C-22's guardrails protecting encryption are extremely flimsy and easily bypassed (i.e. the definition of a "systematic vulnerability" won't be legally defined until after the bill is passed).
Please call your Senators and House of Commons Reps ASAP!
If you live in Canada, sign the petition against C-22: https://www.internetsociety.org/our-work/internet-policy/keep-canada-protected/

This, in a nutshell, is why it is dangerous that all liberal media is now setting up shop on Bluesky.
We have a critical midterm coming up and these important voices are willfully submitting to a censorship regime run by crypto VC tech bros.

Unfortunately we ARE going back to this, in Alberta.
The whole point of book banning is to reduce exposure to diversity, especially to the most easily influenced. Who do you think benefits from that? Exposure to diverse views and experiences allows children to develop empathy, shielding them from control through reactionary hate speech, divisive politics, and disinformation.

“UK seeks to jail Palestine Action for ‘terrorism’ amid UK media blackout’
via The Grayzone on YT
@palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai @palestine@lemmy.ml @iran
“A shockingly corrupted trial that exposes the British state’s #weaponization of #censorship and secrecy laws has just begun.
The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal details how six activists from the direct action protest group #PalestineAction face #terrorism charges [..] – but the jury in the case is forbidden from knowing this.
The UK media is similarly banned from reporting on these facts, while the defendants in the case are blocked by court order from explaining their motives for damaging and occupying Israeli weapons factories on British soil.
[..]
Now, he argues, the British state is [..] rigging the trial and perverting whatever’s left of democracy, all to preserve its special relationship with Israel.

Orwell vs Huxley
"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution." - Aldous Huxley
"The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens long enough to notice what's happening." - George Orwell 1984
"Doublethink mens the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's
mind simultaneosly, and accepting both of them." - George Orwell
"Central to all forms of oppression is the need to prevent people from openly discussing ideas and issues." - George Orwell
"It's not so much staying alive, it's staying HUMAN that's important. What counts is that we don't
betray each other." - George Orwell
"It is this fear of a supposedly dangerous mob that makes nearly all intelligent people conservative in their opinons." - George Orwell
"If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it it because self knowledge is painful and
we prefer the pleasures of illusion."- Aldous Huxley
"Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is a hardly a healthy human left." - Aldous Huxley
"People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their
capacities to think." - Aldous Huxley
"The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he beleieves himself to be free." - Aldous Huxley
"Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons." - Aldous Huxley
"The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence." - Aldous Huxley
