friedrich engels on “social murder” in his book condition of the working class (1845)
When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live— forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence— knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which (cont.) none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it remains. I have now to prove that society in England daily and hourly commits what the working-men’s organs, with perfect correctness, characterise as social murder, that it has placed the workers under conditions in which they can neither retain health nor live long; that it undermines the vital force of these workers gradually, little by little, and so hurries them to the grave before their time. I have further to prove that society knows how injurious such conditions are to the health and the life of the workers, and yet does nothing to improve these conditions. That it knows the consequences of its deeds; that its act is, therefore, not mere manslaughter, but murder, I shall have proved, when I cite official documents, reports of Parliament and of the Government, in substantiation of my charge.

Ms. Rachel coming for Obama 👏
Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

i just combed through who you follow for five minutes and here’s why that makes you look bad and me look cool
refreshingtime.bsky.social
nest my spheres in your mouth dweeb
refreshingtime.bsky.social
your argument is nonsense and thats why no one infers anything valuable from it. sorry that yuoure incapable of understanding this
refreshingtime.bsky.social
if you are going to make fallacious arguments from nature then you are going to get compared to eugenecists because that is what they do. guess whose fault that is
refreshingtime.bsky.social
its called the socratic method you colossal tool. if you cant answer questions about your own argument why should anyone take you seriously?
refreshingtime.bsky.social
you deliberately compared economics to the human body to imply communism is unnatural and therefore wrong. are you going to deny that now?
refreshingtime.bsky.social
keep dodging the issue bro. you cant prove what you say about strangers on here. youve been proven wrong and have to run away from arguments
refreshingtime.bsky.social
why are you pretending things that occur naturally have to be good and things that do not have to be bad, when that is a clear and obvious fallacy? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural...
Naturalistic fallacy - Wikipedia

refreshingtime.bsky.social
that is not relevant to whether it is natural. diabetes occurs naturally. do you need another example? C sections. do you think babies that are unable to be delivered naturally should be left to die in the womb? do you see why appealing to nature is a logical fallacy?
refreshingtime.bsky.social
refreshingtime.bsky.social
no it is not unrelated. you are arguing that communism is bad because it is not natural. diabetes is natural. synthesized insulin is unnatural. do you or do you not believe diabetics should not be allowed insulin? answer the question
refreshingtime.bsky.social
it should be very simple for you bud. you claim people handed trump the election by not voting/voting third party, so statistically prove that claim. or even give any evidence. or, more importantly, refute the evidence i have shown you that that idea is false
refreshingtime.bsky.social
great glad you agree. so for the fourth time, do you believe that diabetics should not be provided insulin, and therefore naturally die?
refreshingtime.bsky.social
in this case you provably do not know what you are talking about but pretend you do. it is pretty simple and children understand it
refreshingtime.bsky.social
considering i proved you were lying yesterday and you slinked off to lie about others, yes. you are a sniveling little liar
