the idea that cruelty is necessary is horrifying but it's not surprising in a society that manufactures and sells war as democracy.

I wrote a personal note to Harvard via an email from PETA earlier today and haven’t been able to get the fundamental sickness of what Livingstone is doing out of my mind. Almost as bad is the extreme institutional arrogance of entities like Harvard and their high-handed refusal to engage re: the basic facts of what’s being inflicted on terrified innocents, based on some ludicrously shoddy, hyper-probabilistic assertions about the hypothetical good they want us to believe they are doing. I’m sure Harvard is rife with employees generating PR statements about confronting oppression, or being on the right side of history. An almost iconic, defining cruelty for many there is probably still images and references to that singular, personally-expiating repository of all human evil, Donald Trump, separating young children from their mothers. And what does Livingstone so proudly do for a living? Literally tears babies from their mothers’ arms and stitches their eyes shut. Consigns them to unrelenting terror and agony. What is wrong with Livingstone and all Livingstones around the world to allow them to so fundamentally evade the obvious factual reality of what they are doing. Livingstone is worse than an Eichmann, because she is directly overseeing this cruelty and/or personally inflicting it, while preening and promoting herself based on it.
