Hurricane deaths

samedi 1 septembre 2018 à 02:00

The hurricane that hit Puerto Rico killed about as many Americans as the 2001 terrorist attacks, so why not have a Global War on Global Heating, or at least a War on Puerto Rico's Poverty?

I think the difference in response is that the damage in Puerto Rico provides an opportunity to seize property from Puerto Rico. By contrast, the opportunity provided by the terrorist attacks was for "security" (massive spending and massive surveillance).

Prominent Indian activists, for human rights or more income for the poor, have been arrested because of their political views.

Public urinals in Paris

samedi 1 septembre 2018 à 02:00

Protesters in Paris ruined public urinals because they consider it unfair to reduce public urination by men until women are allowed to breastfeed.

Peace activists in Israel

Italian Minister Salvini is being investigated for imprisoning 100 refugees on the Italian coast guard ship Ubaldo Diciotti.

That ship docked in an Italian port and Salvini would not let the refugees off the ship.
