marjaerwinShe is being charged with doing what any humyn being should have done, in her place, and may face life imprisonment or execution for doing the right thing.
But so many people are saying she should be shot, and some are saying she shouldn't even be considered humyn, and that she should be shot and her supporters - all of us - should be shot.
And that's the nature of war and empire. It involves dehumanizing the other, and it involves dehumanizing one's self to serve the empire. I hate ideologies of national/racial loyalty, military loyalty, and oaths. All these things encourage us-and-them and despise our common humanity, and that's what war-mongers use these things for.
Ni aiþos, nih harjos, nih reiks, nih kaisar!
