All cults are experts at exploiting their "rights", in order to walk the fine line of flouting and abusing authority and infrastructure, while assuming that role themselves, and abusing and terrorizing others who challenge them; financially, emotionally, intellectually, and socially. At their worst, they "prey" upon those they feel least able to defend themselves, and thus seek locations where they can grow stronger without interference or examination. With each "escalation and challenge", they grow bolder, confident in the fear and discomfort which comes from the ideas and authority they purport to "represent", although their claims are usually based entirely in fantasy and desired power. In destabilizing existing social environments, they increase disparate and disaffected followers - who they attract as a result of fringe circumstance and placement in society - with their growing confidence, and with the impunity with which they conduct their "fantasies" about who, what, and where they are. They usually begin by promising power and consequence for those who oppose them - particularly in a previously democratic environment, where coexistence is the key to their exploitation and abuse.

This is good.. . Even in the next step to address the roll of the Uncle or Grandfather or the older Brother, in support of the absent father. As much as I can relate to the Father in the household; so so many had to endure as you said Bro. Fields, about Jim Crow. Then, after the anti-lynching laws; to address racial profiling; to the gun & a badge; to public officials & oligarchs; to the pandemic; to no judicial remedies for citizens that officials are not being held to. Now the ostracism of citizens for global initiative. There is something to be said about European squatters & immigrants. Then, the story of non-support for off spring of Slaves, Whites are not trying to claim.. . The story goes on & on.

Inadequate handling of racism perpetuates hate, violence, and division in society. There is a fear from what was observed in the commons this week - mismanagement of such issues risks a perception that there is some degree of tolerance to racism. You may or may not have seen a video this week of a child in Carlisle being subject to horrific racist behaviour that one would think is unimaginable in 2024. Such acts can disrupt a person’s life indefinitely. https://lnkd.in/eDPg-aEm Let's prioritise our future, and that of future generations by doing everything we can to put a stop to such behaviour from ever taking place - so we can all live in a fair and equal world. We must strive for a world of peace regardless of skin color or background.

Human Rights Advocate| Law Graduate. #In a Modern, Moral Society, No Refugee nor Displaced Person in Nigeria Should Be Too Poor to Live.
Human dignity and rights are something that cannot be detached from anyone even when they have committed a crime. Jungle justice violates a person’s right to life, to a fair trial, freedom from torture, inhuman and degrading treatment and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. We should be more human to whoever that is. Crowd mentality in the pursuance of mob justice is evil. If we are to win the war against mob justice, we must reject crowd mentality as it prevents more harm from taking place to the culprit. Rejecting this doesn’t just respect human rights and the pursuit of justice the right way, it also upholds most of our moral codes in our respective religions which is; “Thou shalt not kill” If you are a witness of mob justice in your area, adopt this following approaching: 1. Call the police. 2. While they are on their way, rally morally upright persons and community leaders in your area to the scene and jointly amplify your voices into calling for restraint from the mob. 3. Record the mob justice from a safe distance and report those involved to the police afterwards. Human life is something that can’t be purchased nor gotten back if lost. Being a bystander, only recording or taking a video about such inhumane incident without doing any of the above is only proof of your complicity whether or not you struck at the culprit. For the police: Witnessing mob justice without doing anything about it is outdated. Equip your force with crowd dispersal strategies to protect both culprits & innocent victims from harm. It is the least you can do especially as many citizens have lost faith in you as a result of your failure at eliminating inefficient, corrupt and lack lustre service men in your ranks. For the government: it is shameful of the National Assembly that the country is yet to have a law criminalizing mob justice despite the numerous incidents of it in the country some of which are barely reported in the media. In 2018, two boys were killed by a mob in edo state for the allegation of stealing an iphone and a laptop without the mob even verifying from them. Just less than two weeks ago, a lawyer based in lagos state by name of Adams Uduak was almost lynched to death after being falsely accused of kidnapping in the place she went to look for accomodation. Should I say more or less to open your eyes to this evil? We should have a law criminalizing this grave inhumanity in Nigeria with a hefty punishment in both years of imprisonment and fines. These are ways of getting justice for both culprit and innocent victims of mob justice like Uduak Adams. Humanity is itself a form of dignity. Humanity in this aspect is a form of service where we prevent blood thirsty individuals in our society from becoming judge, jury and executioner for culprits of crimes. I understand that committing a crime is evil, but never in history has two wrongs ever made anything right. It only gets worse. #EndJungleJustice #ProtectHumanRights

The mechanism of oppression has been advanced through insinuations, misinformation, targeted propaganda, fear-based narratives, and straight up lies about the “urban” community for generations. This is something that must be deeply understood as the central undercurrent to the way we see oppression manifest today. Both systematically and interpersonally. Discrimination and marginalization are often times not obvious and can be inflicted with such subtlety and keen parallels that it allows for the real issue to be easily explained away. As we think about breaking systemic oppression, we must ask more questions, go deeper than checking the boxes, and make it safe for folks to speak up when they are being treated unfairly. Some of us know all too well how oppression has worked for so long in a way that makes it impossible to speak up. The narrative, whether true or false, is powerful.

🔥 Chaos in NYC! 🔥 In what was supposed to be a day of celebration, a Pro-Hamas mob turned a mall into a scene of red with smoke bombs. This isn't just a disturbance, it's a glaring display of radical extremism. Is this even legal? Why the inaction from law enforcement? 🚫 Is this what we call a peaceful protest? Where's the line between expressing views and instilling fear? ✊ Radical extremism has NO place in our society, especially not on days meant for celebration. We're witnessing more than just a protest. It's an alarming shift towards violence and intimidation. This isn't about free speech, it's about public safety. Enough is enough. We can't let fear and extremism dictate our lives. This isn't the New York that anyone expects to see. Are you as concerned as I am about where this is headed?
