Yellow, Orange and red represent places where it is illegal to be gay with orange and red being places where being gay is punishable by death. In the holocaust, gay people were not just loathed by the Nazis, but also loathed by other groups who were also being persecuted and murdered. When other groups were freed from the concentration camps, gay people were often sent from the camps to prisons due to their “liberators” still considering them to be criminals.

Argh, Wikipedia/media duplicating browser functionality is annoying fiddly.

It should not be illegal to be gay with orange, but it is a bit weird

This is a discussion I have in my ethics classes. I like to use Kohlberg's Model of moral development (one of many options) as the framework for the discussion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Kohlberg%27s_stages_of_moral_development

Under than model, all too many people (upwards of 40% in one study) get stuck at level 4, which means they see the law as the moral system. Dangerous thinking that's often how bullies, political evils, and Authoritarians gain power over the public. Once they can control the laws, those people will just follow along because they can't even envision how challenging the law for humanity's well-being is even possible.

Stage 7: we are just another species on this rock. What if a Rhesus Ape dominated and burned forests for their crop, littered persistent and poisonous plastic everywhere? Would you also sometimes get mad like Elephants do?


Right?

That's true, but the purpose of laws is to establish a bare minimum of satisfactory behavior in contemporary society.

That is to say, people who don't understand why you shouldn't steal things, are still held to that standard of behavior.

if that was the case, the stealing class wouldn't have robbed people for hundreds of years. yet, stealing is now called “profit.”

Very strong I'm-13-and-this-is-deep energy. Well done.

[-] moth@anarchist.nexus 7 points 7 hours ago

don't snipe at people 'cause they understand society better than you do. that's exactly why you should be taking notes instead of talking back.

[-] im_fine_sandy@nord.pub -2 points 6 hours ago

Do I have to take my notes in the existing shower thoughts format or can I transcribe to plain english?

Liberals be like:
“that's racists!!” in Fraktur

satire
I am extremely aware the illegalization of fonts played also a key role in the Nazi literature burnings. Thus my artistic mockery.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
