"Religious illiteracy and intolerance were their driving force.

Religious persecution was their response.

Murder, torture, abuse, rape and sexual violence, forced displacement were their weapons of choice.

Genocide was their aim.

Why is the religious character of the atrocities so important? It is important because only by recognising the true nature of the atrocities, will it be possible to address the root causes. In doing so, we may be able to prevent similar atrocities from recurring. The response to the atrocities needs to be dependent upon the nature of the events and ideology of those that perpetrate the crimes. Mass atrocities that are perpetrated because of the religion of the persecuted group cannot, for example, be combated with weapons only. It is crucial to attack the very core of the ideology that caused the persecutor to turn their guns against the persecuted group. If the ideology is not eradicated, for example with religious teaching about tolerance, inclusion, diversity, interfaith dialogue and respect for dignity for humankind, we will not achieve a sustainable solution.

To commemorate the victims and survivors of the Daesh genocidal atrocities I will publish four pieces on the ‘post-Daesh’ situation of minorities in Iraq. The first will the focus on justice for genocide and crimes against humanity; the second, protection of minority rights; the third, reconstruction and return; and the fourth on prevention. My hope is that, over the month of August, the month that in 2014 that changed the history of Iraq forever, some awareness will be raised and the dialogue about the raised issues can begin anew."

He's reached the low key homophobia stage of being online

 

The daily had a good podcast on this guy this morning, he's a crypto anarchist that believes in sharing all information, and tried forming 3D gun printing as a free speech issue...unreal.

 

Man, I can’t think of anyone else that I’ve been savoring the idea of going totally broke more than Elon. Like just fuck that guy, you have money and a platform to do actual good but you instead start petty beefs with people and act like a 12 year old with bad homophobic putdowns.

 

I refuse to learn what crypto anarchist means

 

TIL his name was Alfonse

 

Trump couldn't even spell "Alphonse" correctly.

 

Don't give the state police a Twitter account

 

This is either a great idea or a terrible idea

 

@David87 you'd appreciate this as well. this is a very, very long article but it addresses a lot about what you asked.


"The purpose of this article is to provide a critique of the Rojava project through a close examination of the discrepancies between the rhetoric surrounding the endeavour and the realities governing its implementation. By “Rojava project” we refer to the endeavour to establish Kurdish nationalist sovereignty in northern Syria by the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its military wing the People’s Protection Units (YPG), later transformed into the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Our substantial focus is on the ways in which Kurdish nationalist leaders and parties in Syria and Iraq have simultaneously oppressed Assyrians—revealing the fundamentally ethnocentric and nationalistic nature of the politics behind the Kurdistan project in both countries—and co-opted Assyrians in order to propagandise the supposedly ethnically-inclusive nature of their politics. We will also examine the rhetorical, political, and media strategies behind the Rojava and KRG projects, particularly in relation to Assyrians.

The particular geographical focus of our analysis is “Rojava”, but an analysis of Kurdish politics and the fate of the Assyrian people requires a transnational perspective. The “Dawronoye” (“Revolutionaries”), an Assyrian political movement which operates under PYD and PKK control, will be assessed as a force serving to advance Kurdish nationalist interests in Syria and Iraq and to burnish the rhetoric surrounding those interests. The participation of the Dawronoye in the Rojava project and the SDF—backed by a substantial rhetorical and media strategy—and the readiness of western governments to accept them as valid representatives in order to ethnically “pluralize” the SDF and legitimize them as an ally means a comprehensive account of the nature, operations and capabilities of the Dawronoye is needed."
