#oppression

L’article 2 de la DDHC autorise constitutionnellement le droit de résistance à l’oppression. L’article 11 protège constitutionnellement le droit à manifester. Il n’y a pas d’appel à la rébellion mais à la justice et l’égalité. Voilà la France du drapeau 🇫🇷, M. Retailleau. #DroitsHumains #Justice #Égalité

Invocare il nome di Dio per legittimare la violenza o l’oppressione costituisce una profanazione di questo nome. Nulla di ciò che deturpa la dignità umana può rivendicare un’autentica ispirazione divina. Il discorso religioso deve esortare costantemente a disarmare i cuori e le parole. #ViaggioApostolico #Francia https://t.co/VGjyZSc1tI #DignitàUmana #Pace #Religione

Well done Gavin Bazunu! A brave and principled stand. You have done what the government and FAI shamefully failed to do. Palestinians are suffering the genocide and dehumanisation that Irish people suffered. You stand in a proud tradition of resisting such oppression. Respect! #GavinBazunu #Palestine #HumanRights #IE #PS

'Transmisogynistic' is them trying to steal the word misogyny and apply it to transvestite males. Women are made to share even the language of their own oppression. #Transmisogyny #Misogyny #WomenRights #Nospecificcountrycodesfoundinthetweet.

Don Rito Maresca, uno dei sacerdoti della Rete Preti contro il genocidio, ha sottolineato l'importanza della sensibilizzazione delle comunità cristiane e dei pastori, evidenziando che il Vangelo debba necessariamente impegnarsi in prima persona nella questione della giustizia e dell'oppressione, come dimostrato dalla marcia tenutasi a Roma in memoria di 300 bambini palestinesi e libanesi uccisi. #PretiControIlGenocidio #Giustizia #TerraSanta

Disappointing and shameful move by @edsheeran to drop @macklemore from his tour because he spoke up for Palestine. With Ireland's history of oppression and suffering under colonialism, surely Ed should understand the need to stand with victims of genocide and occupation. #EdSheeran #Macklemore #Palestine #IE #PS

The evil empire has to be stopped. Decolonizing the russian empire is long overdue, Africa was decolonized in the 1960s. The nations and people under russian oppression deserve their freedom. https://t.co/4nkLQtCgD7 #Decolonize #FreedomForAll #EndRussianOppression #RU #ZA

Il ne s’agit pas « d’implantations israéliennes » mais de colonies illégales au regard du droit international. Il ne s’agit pas « d’îlot de coopération » mais d’espaces de spoliation et d’oppression.

Why Leftist Activists and Revolutionaries Can Never Declare Victory Leftist movements face a paradox: they use oppression narratives to gain institutional power, then keep claiming victimhood as that power grows. Instead of disappearing, activism “shapeshifts” inside bureaucracy, media, academia, corporations, and the arts. Even when DEI is challenged, its structures often remain under new names—diversity becomes “belonging” or “inclusive culture.” The logic is permanent revolution: influence depends on the struggle never ending. Goals shift, new categories of oppression are defined, and intersectionality divides people into ever finer oppressor/oppressed groups, creating an endless hierarchy of grievances. If activists declared victory, the justification for ongoing mobilization would collapse. The risk is social atomization: identities replace shared citizenship, and the state shifts from neutral protector to an instrument for redistributing power between designated victims and oppressors. Bureaucracy and propaganda can replace community and argument. History shows recurring purges—once the revolution’s machinery turns inward, yesterday’s enforcers become today’s targets. The result is also a ressentiment psychology: identity forms around an “enemy,” not one’s own strength. This dynamic helps sustain the consultancy model—identify the guilty, define the aggrieved, and perpetuate conflict. Equality with a finish line is manageable; equality of outcomes is not, so there is always another disparity, injustice, or enemy. The movement fears completion less than failure, because ending would make its power machinery unnecessary.

The Tolerance That Censors Institutions preach tolerance, yet disagreement is increasingly punished. As protected classes expand, demands for compliance, surveillance, and reporting grow. A tolerance-saturated society becomes hostile to dissent. Many call it hypocrisy, but the contradiction may be strategy. In 1965, Herbert Marcuse’s *Repressive Tolerance* argued that liberal “equal hearing” can perpetuate oppression. “Liberating tolerance,” he claimed, must discriminate: intolerance toward the Right, tolerance toward the Left. Why? Classical Marxism expected industrial workers to revolt from misery. Instead, comfort increased and revolution stalled. The Frankfurt School offered a remedy: capitalism colonized consciousness, creating “false consciousness.” If factory revolt won’t start, revolution must begin in the formation of minds—culture, education, psychology, entertainment. If so, neutrality becomes the enemy. Free debate spreads the system’s ideas. Elections let prisoners choose their preferred warden. Liberal freedoms act as “steam valves,” releasing pressure to prevent revolt. Tolerance becomes directional: oppressive ideas are suppressed; liberating ideas are amplified. Censorship and punishment are reframed as freedom’s highest expression. Marcuse also recognized liberal resistance to censorship and proposed “emergency” suspensions when oppression is deemed urgent—a logic echoed when speech is treated as harm and coercion as protection. The unsettling possibility is that nothing is malfunctioning: tolerance may function as a weapon. The final stage requires no visible censor—the individual internalizes it, policing their own thoughts.

Five Warnings Carl Jung Left Us Totalitarianism grows where people stop knowing themselves. In The Undiscovered Self (1957), Jung warned that individuality must be lost before oppression can take hold. Here are five of his clearest warnings. 1) Reason fails when fear takes over. Rational debate works only until emotional intensity passes a threshold—then slogans replace thought. 2) The most dangerous people can look normal. “Latent” destructive tendencies can hide under ordinary appearances, especially when society becomes a mob. 3) You don’t really know yourself. Conscious awareness is only the surface; the unconscious (“shadow”) pushes you to project what you refuse to face onto others. 4) When people lose God, they may make the State their god. The religious impulse can shift into politics, turning leaders into sacred figures. 5) The defense is the formed individual. Resistance to the mass requires someone “organized in his individuality”—disciplined self-knowledge, not crowd identity. Where love stops, power begins—and violence and terror follow.
