"When we see Democrats like Newsom and Whitmer... semi-genuflecting before the Trump throne... when the fascist regime has made its intentions clear... [W]e see people who have sucked on the crack-pipe of realpolitik for so long that... they have lost touch with everyday morality. They believe in nothing except political survival... Any principles beyond those have atrophied into invisibility."

Been called a hardened Jew hater today by an account that promotes #GenocideDenial around #Israel's killings and destruction in #Gaza.
Surprise finding myself thrown in with Jewish #HolocaustSurvivors who call the slaughter in Gaza for what it is.
But that's where Netanyahu has taken the state of Israel. smh
cf Trump, Biden, Orban, Starmer, Johnson, Brexit, Putin, Morrison, Dutton, Luxon
a few notes on a Linda Rising's talk
"Realize up front that this is hard".
Cognitive dissonance: contradictory "evidence" causes severe cognitive discomfort.
* We are not rational decision-makers
* but we are good at explaining after-the-fact why we made a decision – a pattern called rationalization.
Two thirds of people will not consider an idea until "somebody they know pretty well, is doing it, is happy with it, talks about it […] so maybe i might think about it".
To convince,
* you must address: "What's in it for me?" – requires empathy;
* you can use the values of your opponent. (Loyalty or fairness?)
A pattern of personal touch: walk a mile in the other's shoes
Another pattern: "Give it a try"
Another pattern: listen
Another pattern: ask for something personal
I am driven by my emotions.
"Our opinions generally have emotional rather than intellectual roots, and indeed rationality largely functions as a post hoc justification. Our political opinions, ultimately, are what we feel about the world, not what we think about it. And in turn, our opinions about particular events have a lot to do with how we feel about the world in general. It’s not an exaggeration to say that most people’s views about the kind of things that happen today are extensions of concerns of their own ego. And consequently, invitations to change their minds because new facts emerge, or because old ideas are discredited by new evidence, are in fact a threat to the strength and even survival of that ego."
"But few people, especially those who have received a decent education, want to acknowledge that their views are based on emotion and not reason. They therefore try to argue".
A quotation from Abraham Lincoln
This declared indifference, but as I must think, covert real zeal for the spread of slavery, I cannot but hate. I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our Republican example of its just influence in the world — enables the enemies of free institutions, with plausibility, to taunt us as hypocrites — causes the real friends of freedom to doubt our sincerity, and especially because it forces so many really good men amongst ourselves into an open war with the very fundamental principles of civil liberty — criticizing the Declaration of Independence, and insisting that there is no right principle of action but self-interest.
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1854-10-16), “In Reply to Senator Douglas,” Peoria, Illinois

Four key #principles for developing more effective #leaders.
Those who prefer their principles over their happiness, they refuse to be happy outside the conditions they seem to have attached to their happiness.
