(((JaneinNJ)))<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.online/@davidaugust" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>davidaugust</span></a></span> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ignatieff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ignatieff</span></a> doesn’t mention the rationale for the Romans’ sacking of Rome that is illustrated in the picture he selected: getting rid of the Jews, whom they had turned into the “others.” They destroyed the Temple and absconded with the menorah — an event memorialized in the Arch of Titus in Rome, upon which this image is based. Prescient, given the othering that’s taking place in the US today.</p>
Sir Charles Tupper, Bt.<p>The respective reactions of MAGA, Russia and the rest of the world to President <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/Zelenskyy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zelenskyy</span></a> is outlined well by former academic and Canadian politician, Micahel <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/Ignatieff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ignatieff</span></a>. Words like <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freedom</span></a> and <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/loyalty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>loyalty</span></a> have been warped by authoritarians, but those of us who still enjoy true freedom or who aspire to it can see each other.</p><p>"This new world will be governed by people who no longer know the meaning of gratitude and words that accompany it, like loyalty and freedom."</p><p><a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-158169542?source=queue" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">substack.com/home/post/p-15816</span><span class="invisible">9542?source=queue</span></a></p><p>When Trump says he wants loyalty, he means something very different from the rest of us. We know that loyalty follows from ones actions and behaviour. There is no other way to create it. Trump believes that it means to be obsequious and afraid.</p><p>When a nation allows one man to embody their will, like Russia or China, and now the USA, they can no longer expect or even understand loyalty for we no longer understand a shared meaning.</p><p>It didn't need to be like this.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/boycottusa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>boycottusa</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/SlavaUkraini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SlavaUkraini</span></a></p>
