For those who could not attend, and for those who just want to re-watch it, here is the link to the video for the 12-20-23 Decalogue Society program on Hate Speech and the First Amendment. Intersection of Hate Speech and the First Amendment (youtube.com).

The Double Standard: Why Citizens Selling Loyalties Is Acceptable, but Governments Buying Them Is Not? The recent clash between Trump and Swift over political endorsements sheds light on the strange dynamics of government expectations. Trump's remarks, implying a sense of obligation from Swift for legislative actions he took benefiting the community, highlight a weird dynamic in politics. Strange to witness? The anomaly becomes more pronounced when we observe citizens selling their loyalties, as seen in the ongoing farmer protests. Here, individuals are boldly challenging unjust policies, showing a comfortable defiance against government expectations. Not at all strange to witness? This juxtaposition begs the question: why such a stark contrast in expectations and actions? #GovernmentLoyalty #CitizenRights #LoyaltyExchange #PowerDynamics https://lnkd.in/ekw5QMDC

“SEEKING CONSENSUS” #01 After 4th July General Election Where next for Great Britain & Northern Ireland? My initial thoughts are that many of us will need to convince others to adopt ‘Place’* first rather than’Party’ allegiances to achieve consensus. Alliances of political leaders from various walks of life focussed on ‘Quality of Life’ and what that means in ‘our’ Community could be developed as an effective Model for future Government? An antidote to what increasingly looks like a huge Labour Government majority and the increase in Populist Extreme views that (a) divide and (b) appear to ignore economic realities. Aim to develop a shared reality of what can be achieved to improve our lives and society. In France for example various centrist groups are collaborating to try and counter the threat from the far right. Headlines from the ‘New York Times’ Monday 17th June ‘We Need to Unite’: Protests Against the Far Right Are Held Across France A newly formed left-wing coalition called on demonstrators to stop Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party from taking power in upcoming elections.

Politics should not be the centre of people's lives. The lives of the people should be the centre of politics. Of course, politics is important & all citizens should be informed and active. But there is a difference between a citizenry that is informed & engaged (holds the feet of the politicians to the fire of accountability) with a citizenry that is utterly consumed to the point of obsession. The real test for citizens should be, will this piece of information, this rally, this action, this post or this statement EFFECT REAL CHANGE. But, the honest fact is that the theatre of politics is too entertaining for us to remain sober.
