A whistleblow site.

Ok we can leave it at that. I can see we could agree. I haven't come across videos, like at school and the like, not saying it couldn't happen. From what I'm getting it's a little bit rougher. A little bit more like the person themselves might be cut off and told they as a person don't deserve to live or be here. It might be starting with things like oligarchs but there is a sentiment the DNA itself is under.. banning extradition or God knows what else. ..

Is whistleblowing only a "good American" tradition?

As I live here I'm more familiar with it here. Please don't think I agree with any discrimination against Russian people in general. Most people who move from another country just want a decent life like everyone. They should be entitled to it.

Ok. I appreciate it. Thanks. Nah you're ok. ..we agree. ..

At least on that last few couple a sentences. ...

Someone earlier as I so noticed placed a lovely comment about propaganda. Actually I am not trying to engage in such. The last thing I need or feel like being associated with is a bunch of # ing propaganda. It's just if it is as someone mentioned, and there's this "campaign of hate" one would have no reason at least not to consider the circumstances. If it is as some might say, this is a cockamamie notion and a thing not going on and a ludicrous thought train and I can be made to rest assured it is I will promptly cease my mentionings forthwith and flounce off. Just a thought. I myself have no time for any of this.. provocateuring and what,.. I just felt like posting the sentiment on a message board. Back to life is life or whatever you know.. But now that its here on this message board..I can't do anything about it...- .. 😬

Ok Gbye. 👋..😁-

To sell their narratives they have to dehumanize people or they don’t work.

Prejudice and Discrimination—Getting to the Roots (Awake!—2009)

...

A good start is to acknowledge that none of us are above developing prejudices. The book Understanding Prejudice and Discrimination says: “Perhaps the most important conclusions to emerge from prejudice research are these: (1) no one capable of human thought and speech is immune from harboring prejudice, (2) it often takes deliberate effort and awareness to reduce prejudice, and (3) with sufficient motivation, it can be done.”

Education has been described as “the most powerful tool” in the fight against prejudice. The right education can, for example, expose the root causes of prejudice, enable us to examine our own attitudes more objectively, and help us deal wisely with prejudice when we are victims.

Getting to the Roots

Prejudice causes people to distort, misinterpret, or even ignore facts that conflict with their predetermined opinions. Prejudice may have its beginnings in seemingly innocent, but misguided, family values, or it may be sown by those who deliberately promote warped views of other races or cultures. Prejudice can also be fostered by nationalism and false religious teachings. And it can be a product of inordinate pride. As you reflect on the following points and on pertinent principles taken from the Bible, why not examine your own attitudes and see if changes are in order?

Nationalism. One dictionary defines nationalism as “a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations.” Ivo Duchacek, a professor of political science, observed in his book Conflict and Cooperation Among Nations: “Nationalism divides humanity into mutually intolerant units. As a result people think as Americans, Russians, Chinese, Egyptians, or Peruvians first, and as human beings second​—if at all.” A former UN secretary-general wrote: “So many of the problems that we face today are due to, or the result of, false attitudes​—some of them have been adopted almost unconsciously. Among these is the concept of narrow nationalism​—‘my country, right or wrong.’”

◼ What does the Bible say? “God loved the world [all mankind] so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “God is not partial, but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.” (Acts 10:34, 35) Ask yourself, ‘If God’s love is impartial​—embracing people of all nations, including me—​should I not strive to imitate him, especially if I profess to reverence him?’

What, though, can you do if you are a victim of prejudice or discrimination? The next article looks into this matter.
