       @msquebanh heh, that is awesome - thank you for sharing, have never heard of that song before ✌️🖖 “But the cops can do no wrongWe've got to fight, take back the nightThe cops are just like Hitler's Third ReichDo what they want”DNC=GOP, right there, specifically, in my opinion: beat down the other party and then do whatever they want

       @KashifShah I have a longtime punk gal/punk music background. I also faced neo-nazis in my early punk times & had a local rep for literally punching out nazi guys.

       @msquebanh Aye, I picked up on the punk music background - that is another genre that I barely dipped my ears into, but am well aware of the punk boot worshippers.And hehehe, you rhino-tiger.  Fist bump 👊 Perhaps the best actual bigot “WW2 Nazi” (maybe not non-bigot, human rights friendly national socialists), is a sore “WW2 Nazi”: from the litigation or handcuffs on the way to jail or a mental health center.Germany doesn’t put up with shit at all, specifically by law, last time I checked.

       @KashifShah I was boots on ground & basement DIY punk from late 80s to now. I still consider myself punkrock. I never fully assimilated to any colonial or corporate identities. I resisted hard & sometimes physically punished, for my strong stances. I don't regret it. We stand strong for something beyond our mere souls, regardless of how public treats us - or we don't really stand for anything worth true importance.

       @msquebanh If I had to assign myself a sub-cultural identity, it would have to be cyberpunk.  mirrorshades 🕶️Then I became a tentative street-preacher, then a tentative academic, and then a conscientious corpo slave, and now, cyberpunk-evolved: cyberpunk muslim.

       @KashifShah I don't need multiple identities online or offline. In fact, my thoughts on silliness of alternate names was fully illustrated in multiple court records from past 2 yrs from ppl who believed 'camp name IDs' would shield them from being found by cops & avoiding BS charges. That's more of a newbie mindset. All longtime activist vets don't play into those silly games. We know we can be tracked. We use our knowledge to form other tactics. We don't play into stupid.

       @msquebanh No doubt about that! That’s why I am all about my unique, personal identity and humbly, without much fear, use my real name, here.Randomized usernames are generally a good idea, though, if you are interested in operational security.It cracks me up that people think that code names and code words would hold up against code crackers that specialize in breaking code.

       @msquebanh Granted, I have made my peace with death, a couple of times now, though, so that might explain some of my lack of fear.  I just take it for granted that if anyone wanted to harm or kill me, they’d be able to anytime they wanted.Family definitely has received death threat letters in the past, due to my dad being humbly writing newspaper articles and such.  Guilty of being Muslim, and all that jazz.

       @KashifShah It is not only me that I think about on these kind of decisions.  I think about the rest of my frontliner friends in very remote standoffs with armed corporate mercenaries aka RCMP in Canada. If I'm stupid in my actions, I put the rest at higher risks of brutal RCMP assaults. I won't put my own self above many others.

       @msquebanh yeah, opsec is the keyword if you need nation-state level security.  often illegal to export, but generally not illegal to have.

       @KashifShah I just use my personal morals & ethics over any governmental mostly full of shit boards.  I don't actually need ANY government entities to tell me right from wrong. Perhaps folks who didn't get much good guidance from their loved ones need to spend more time, learning about humanity.

       @msquebanh Exactly. That’s why I’m all about human rights.  Take away governments and we can all still choose to live by human rights.“Grow civilization, not war.”- Paraphrasing Einstein and Freud’s letters on Why War?

       @KashifShah I am very loud - online & offline about human rights violations. That's a good thing, if you support human rights. It's a living nightmare, if you're a bigot. I go after local bigots & NOT SHY about it. I'm the gal who brought over 500 ppl to surround local RCMP & kept those cowards too scared to leave building for 5 hrs. I don't fuck around with no purpose. I don't let personal fears get in the way either.

       @KashifShah I appreciate your support but I'm one of many who need more humans to actually do more than tell us that they care. We need more humans to join as accomplices to fight against ongoing global ecocides & cultural genocides.

       @msquebanh No doubt about that, either.  I’m independently working on #UDHR75 outreach and building out https://kbin.social/m/humanrights as my actions, for the time being.Next phase will be organizing a local chapter of Amnesty International. I still have some severe social anxiety to work on through therapy.

       @KashifShah Fuck these rules until UN actually enforces them on nations with MULTIPLE human rights violations. Looking straight at US & Canada.  I don't need this to treat another human being as a human being. The fact that UNDRIP exists is only evidence on how inequitable society is towards almost everyone who isn't super rich.

       @msquebanh US still hasn’t ratified one of the key treaties.  And Canada is well known as an ignorer of certain UN standards.  Apparently especially when it comes to reporting.The core of Human Rights, until the US ratifies ICESCR, is that each of us, individually, have to constantly hold the UDHR in mind and educate each other about it. Without UDHR, we only have our own personal moral beliefs to fall back on.  And the obvious historical anguish caused by conflict between people.

       @KashifShah I'm not against UNDRIP - I'm against lack of actual heavy penalties & enforcement on it. Without actual enforcement - it's literally like taking politician words as good enough. Where did that 'good enough' shit bring us?

       @msquebanh Aye, conversated with some legal folls on mastodon and the consensus is that the logical next steps for human rights, in the US, at least, are:1) self-effecting human rights treaties, 2) relevant national legislation in support of human rights,3) judiciable lawsuits based on tangible harms

       @KashifShah Nothing changes without actual heavy consequences for nations who violate & keep on violating because there's no real punishments dealt. It's a total farce now. I welcome actual enforcements.

       @KashifShah Almost always does. Did you know that the KKK was established in Canada before it became huge in Southern US?  Another part of Canada's racism true history that they don't want many folks to learn about or remember.

       @KashifShah I got censored on TikTok, Twitter & IG for trying to share this book. It's a book used in several universities & colleges on race relations, racism, social justice & Indigenous & POC education.https://www.canadashistory.ca/explore/books/the-ku-klux-klan-in-canada

       @KashifShah Additional read on this ugly racist history that #Canada tries to keep hiding from the rest of the world:https://www.amazon.com/Ku-Klux-Klan-Canada-embroiled/dp/1502935821Did you know that Hitler was inspired by our govts handling of the 'Indian problem'? They built similar crematoriums, mass grave sites & used same brainwashing methods on Indigenous kids here. They also medically experimented on native kids with govt consent but not their parents. Canada needs to do a lot more to rectify injustices - still ongoing.

       @msquebanhWell, it's no use to blame Hitler on everything. He had a lot of support. He didn't invent the Autobahn, he just took the applause for it. He didn't invent racism, he just used it as a lever.Who ever designed Concentration Camps, it was for sure not Hitler. He left that administrational stuff to others.Why is that important? Because all the ideas Hitler used, were already there. You don't need persons like Hitler to make them real.@KashifShah @ixi
