how weird that tumblr is always saying how wrong rape is and how unacceptable it is but then we hear about young yezidi & christian girls being taken from their family by ISIS to rape them and then these girls commits sucidide afterwards BUT they ignore it, no spreading it around so others can see for themselves, no nothing. Just Silence.

Rising from the ashes.

Euromaidan protesters/rioters have rebuilt their barricades, today. This time, they’re not simply wooden planks curved outwards to serve as a pike wall. This time, pieces of rebar, sand bags, and lots of (what looks to be) snow has been used to once again erect defenses. This time they have moved much further forwards, and are blocking the Instyutska St. entrance to the square. If Berkut wishes to break the lines, they will either have to bring in heavier equipment, or flank from Khreshchatyk St. that runs SSW-NNE.

there are three ways that individuals who are oppressed can deal with their oppression. one of them is to rise up against their oppressors with physical violence and corroding hatred. but oh this isn’t the way. violence creates many more social problems than it solves. another way is to acquiesce and to give in, to resign yourself to the oppression. but that too isn’t the way, because non-cooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good.

but there is another way. and that is to organize mass non violent resistance based on the principle of love. where there is something about hate that tears down and is destructive, there is something about love that builds up and is creative. love is the only creative, redemptive, transforming power in the universe.

when you rise to the level of love, of its great beauty and power, you seek only to defeat evil systems. individuals who happen to be caught up in that system, you love, but you seek to defeat the system. you just keep loving people, even though they’re mistreating you. just keep being friendly to that person. i’m foolish enough to believe that through the power of this love, somewhere men of the most recalcitrant bent will be transformed.
