As you guys know, I really don’t do political stuff. Life is too short for crap on the internet. But this one is not politics. It’s human rights. Please, look at what’s happening in India, and spread the word to everyone you know that this kind of bullshit has to stop. All decent human beings must be appalled in their souls that this could happen. It has to stop. And it’s going to take all decent people screaming at the top of their lungs to stop it.
In short, two sisters in India have been sentenced to rape and public degrading to punish their brother. You can read about it here. And you can sign the Amnesty International petition protesting it here.
We live in a world where ISIS murders gays and rapes children sold into sexual slavery. For some reason our governments can’t find the courage or the will to halt this evil while it’s still relatively contained. We also live in a world where men sentence women to be raped, to punish another man. There are days when I feel like I’m drowning in depravity. Signing a petition, and drawing attention to this evil, helps me to be less helpless. Please spread the word. Good people can’t do nothing for much longer, else we all drown in the worst of human excess.

This is important!!
and this is why you should do political stuff.
This kind of political stuff, absolutely. But spare me from all the partisan left and right bullshit. I’m over it.
This kind of political stuff comes from “the partisan bullshit”, when it is left to fester. Of course, its everyone’s choice what they do.
Not so sure about that, but at the end of the day, I think that what matters is making sure we all speak up against violations of basic human rights. This issue, for example, should absolutely stand above and apart from simplistic tribal politics. It doesn’t always. There’s also a cultural component, which complicates the issue. I absolutely avoid tribal politics, because nobody wins there, especially on the internet. I make a forceful exception for this kind of wickedness.
