GingerAntics In reality, yes. Socially, no. It‘s why we have to say “Black Lives Matter” in the first place! 5d
TheBookHippie Right?!?!?! the “not all men” makes me vomit. Yes. Men. Most of them. Almost all. So sit down. 5d
Eggbeater All lives aren't currently being treated by society as though they matter. But if you're a rich, white billionaire with a penis, you just hit the jackpot. 5d

TheBookHippie @Eggbeater 💯💯💯💯💯 5d
Deblovestoread @Eggbeater Got it in one 🎯 5d
Amiable All lives should matter. But they don‘t. Which is why Black Lives Matter! 5d
lil1inblue @Eggbeater 🎯🎯🎯 5d
lil1inblue @TheBookHippie I'm so sick of not all men, too. I just say, "It's all men until it's no men." 5d
TheBookHippie @lil1inblue 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie EXACTLY!!! Stop acting like you‘re being attacked and claiming it‘s not you, and tell a man who IS doing this crap to stop. Then we can talk. 5d
GingerAntics @Eggbeater 🎯🎯🎯 spot on! 5d
GingerAntics @Amiable EXACTLY!!! If Black Lives Matter or “this guy assaulted me” offends you, then maybe you should ask yourself why instead of acting like you‘re somehow offended. You‘re not offended, you‘re pissed that someone is daring to question your authority as a white person or as a man. 5d
AnnCrystal All Lives Do Matter! Indigenous Americans highlights “All Children Matter.“

I believe that schools need to begin teaching lessons on empathy, and the necessity of being humane.
5d
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal I totally agree! I would love to see that happen. 5d
GingerAntics @lil1inblue @TheBookHippie Knitting Cult Lady told a story about this time she was in a local community group online, and this woman was asking for help moving because her husband was abusive and she wanted to get her and the kids out… not a single man volunteered. When asked why, every one of them said “he might hurt me.” Bro, you‘re afraid? What do you think she is? Only the women would help her. 5d
GingerAntics @lil1inblue @TheBookHippie these are the same people who say “why didn‘t she just leave if she was so afraid of him?” 🙄 until men start calling out other men‘s behaviour, until men by default believe women when they say they‘ve been abused, until men show up for women, don‘t come at me with “not all men.” 5d
lil1inblue @GingerAntics 🎯 🎯 🎯“Until men start calling out other men's behaviour“ 🙌 4d
lil1inblue I guess along the same lines, it's also Black Lives Matter until all lives matter! 4d

Just finished viewing this mesmerizing PBS documentary- if you have access to PBS it‘s well-worth viewing! Parallels to our existing executive branch are glaring. #adventuresinphilosophy

Tamra Thanks for posting! Off to find it. 7d
squirrelbrain I just finished this book, in which Arendt is featured. Not sure I understood a lot of it, but still worth a read. (edited) 7d
Deblovestoread Thanks for this. Will definitely find and watch. 7d
Bookwomble Thanks for the tag 😊 7d

TheBookHippie There are no repercussions for being male. Name me a law CURRENTLY that controls men‘s bodies, ability to have a credit card, own property, CHANGE back to your maiden name with out signed permission, etc etc. you cannot be sexist to someone in power. It‘s impossible. White men obviously … but even in other cases the male factor over rides. The government legislates our bodies. So I may be a bit anger biased. 2w
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 1000000% agree! 2w
kspenmoll I cannot say it any better than @TheBookHippie 1w

New information for me. My book is so marked up!
#adventuresinphilosophy

IriDas It‘s truly one of the best kept secrets. When you try to tell people this they just won‘t believe you. 2w
GingerAntics This was eye opening. I did not know this existed. I can‘t imagine anyone ever thought it was cool that the descendants of slaves pay taxes toward the reimbursement of their ancestors‘ slave owners. That is just gross. Racism is seriously mind bending. 2w
quietlycuriouskate I knew about the "compensation" but not the scale of it, nor the fact that my family and I were still paying it back until recently. ? 2w
sarahbarnes Ludicrous. Especially considering the pushback against the idea of reparations for Black families impacted by slavery in the US. 2w

Only 14 pages in, but so much “meat.” Some info I am familiar with but enjoy the historical evidence, research entailed in writing this book. It is always good to review because for me it brings this knowledge to the forefront of my mind & creates pathways to new thinking. Poe‘s tail! 😻😹

TheBookHippie Human decency has left the building. The wheels are off the bus. Decorum gone. Politically - correctness left awhile ago. I do think it should be decency moral ethical …. Honestly politeness got us here and it needs to stop. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I get the sentiment of it all. It‘s just not being practiced. And I don‘t think it ever was. It was all a long game to get here. But yes if you think of decorum there did use to be politeness. Across the aisle work. 3w
kspenmoll I agree with @TheBookHippie such politically correctness can be used as a tool to declare how anti whatever someone is. We went thru training years ago at work & those I would consider racist/sexist in certain ways,did not see not see themselves that way at all.Totally believed in their perception.I remember one student calling out US history teacher for not teaching about any indigenous people unless they were warriors scalping whites, or⬇️ 3w
kspenmoll ⬆️ or women - or black hispanic history except in wars- never got out of the 1950s. He retired a few years ago… Now all that has changed. 3w

TheBookHippie @kspenmoll YES!!! Great examples! 3w
GingerAntics @kspenmoll @TheBookHippie yes to both of you. Yes to all of this. We need to stop trying to be polite and stop giving the benefit of the doubt. Take people at their word, because people are being stunningly honest about their intentions and thoughts right now. They‘re saying the quiet part loud and proud. I hate to say these folks need to have their feelings hurt, but they do. Your feelings are harming others in very physical, real, life and death 3w
GingerAntics @kspenmoll @TheBookHippie ways. Getting just their feelings hurt is fine. We need to stop trying to convince people. We need to stop hoping people will “come around.” We need to be direct. We need to be brutally honest. We need to stop accepting intolerance in the name of acceptance and tolerance. 3w
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics EXACTLY. Decorum is currently dead. 3w
