All humans are equal.
It’s a moral truth.
And it’s a kind of fact.

Everything you need to know about freedom:
You’re free
Humans are free
People have free will
You make choices
Your choices matter
You have a right to be free

“So,” you ask me, “how did it all turn to sh**?”
What, precisely?
“This! This world of ours!”

“Answers must be rooted in reality, set deep in the soil & rock of the planet on which we live. They must be crafted from logic & sense, deriving from moral foundations of unarguable simplicity.”

“In the eyes of morality we’re all equal in what we are: as atoms of life, as particles of being. We’re all flames in the same fire, water in the same stream.”

“Martin Luther King had a dream.
But his dream wasn’t one where the United States became a plutocracy – a government bought out and suborned by the wealthy.
His dream was of equality in a true democracy.”

“A person isn’t good just because they’re
– Rich
– Talented
– Beautiful
– Famous
– Smart
No, not at all.
You can be all of those things and still be utterly despicable.”

One of the great ironies of modern politics: pretend victims, mostly powerful, privileged, wealthy, male and white, creating real victims: usually the powerless and the poor.

Why the incarceration and coerced guilty plea of Julian Assange are a travesty....
👇…
ASSANGE HAS BLOOD ON HIS HANDS?
In 2013 the Pentagon ruled there is no evidence the Manning info, released by Wikileaks, had any impact on US strategic interests. The agent leading the review stated it did not lead to any US troop or agent deaths.
Morality is about unity.
It is a universal sentience unification system.
Anything that divides us is immoral.

Patriotism is immoral.
Why?
Because morality is about unity and equality but patriotism is about exceptionalism and inequality.
Patriotism says one group of people are better than everyone else.
That's immoral.

Nationalism is immoral.
Why?
Because nationalism claims we, as a nation, are better than others.
But morality says we are equal and that no one is better or worse than any other person just because of where they were born.
The morality of the treatment of Palestinians by Israel and the recent breakout from Gaza is clear.
All lives are equal.
We ALL deserve protection, nurture, fairness, freedom and equality.

Killing civilians and innocents is immoral.
Any civilians.
Any innocents.
On any side.
This is something moral people do not do.
This is something any person who claims to be moral condemns.
2/9
The killing of innocents for revenge, retaliation, deterrence or punishment is immoral.
The killings by Hamas were immoral.
The current killings in Gaza by Israel are immoral.
Anything other than an immediate ceasefire, to halt the killing of innocents, is immoral.
3/9
A moral society puts people first.
Not wealth.
Not power.
Not nation states.
Not archaic forms of government or law.
Not royal families or venerable castes.
People.
Ordinary people.
Us.

Imagine a world where a hungry child on the other side of the world matters just as much as the child next door. A world where that child’s sister matters too, who works in the fields or in a factory when she should still be at school.
