The people speaking out in #Russia such as Maria Ponomarenko are showing real courage. I would be terrified of being sent to #prison there. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64647267 #MariaPonomarenko #SpeakingTruthToPower #conscience #ethics #Ukraine

Despite the #MoralPanic about #CancelCulture, the powerful can say outrageous and disgusting things without any meaningful consequence. But when it comes to #SpeakingTruthToPower, anonymity *protects* the vulnerable from retaliation.

Nowhere will you find a better case-study of this phenomenon than in #Cambodia, a basket-case, one-party dictatorship that has been ruled over by the corrupt, authoritarian dictator #HunSen, a former general, since 1985.

{Anal retentive: "An anal retentive person is a person who pays such attention to detail that it becomes an obsession and *may be an annoyance to others*."}

It occurred to me that #cars are the most powerful road users. And that the car lobby is also one of the strongest. To then sit down on the street as a vulnerable pedestrian and protest, isn't that the true " #SpeakingTruthToPower " ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaking_truth_to_power ) today? Or do you think drivers are being unfairly attacked for things they are not responsible for? If you answer as a #Quaker, maybe you also write to which #theological wing you belong. @quakers #theobubble #fedikirche #climatecrisis
