Reckon it’s probably fair to say I’ve been having a reasonable stab at fighting forces of oppression for the past few years…
No, I haven’t had to fashion any makeshift weapons, and there’s been no physical confrontations, however there’s certainly been more conflict than I’d prefer, along with attacks on my person from people who should really show more compassion.
Some oppression is just too large to combat on a direct or local basis;
from suppression of Catalan independence, to kids growing up in Gaza, in what is in many respects a prison camp where weapons are tested by Israeli forces on behalf of their US sponsors, to families fleeing trouble in Syria and Iraq, sparked by covert support of rebels by western intelligence services and the wahhabist ideals spread by the oppressive regime of Saudi Arabia.
Raising awareness is key to making change…
