Yellow, Orange and red represent places where it is illegal to be gay with orange and red being places where being gay is punishable by death. In the holocaust, gay people were not just loathed by the Nazis, but also loathed by other groups who were also being persecuted and murdered. When other groups were freed from the concentration camps, gay people were often sent from the camps to prisons due to their “liberators” still considering them to be criminals.
This is a discussion I have in my ethics classes. I like to use Kohlberg’s Model of moral development (one of many options) as the framework for the discussion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Kohlberg's_stages_of_moral_development
Under than model, all too many people (upwards of 40% in one study) get stuck at level 4, which means they see the law as the moral system. Dangerous thinking that’s often how bullies, political evils, and Authoritarians gain power over the public. Once they can control the laws, those people will just follow along because they can’t even envision how challenging the law for humanity’s well-being is even possible.
That’s true, but the purpose of laws is to establish a bare minimum of satisfactory behavior in contemporary society.
That is to say, people who don’t understand why you shouldn’t steal things, are still held to that standard of behavior.
if that was the case, the stealing class wouldn’t have robbed people for hundreds of years. yet, stealing is now called “profit.”
Very strong I’m-13-and-this-is-deep energy. Well done.
don’t snipe at people 'cause they understand society better than you do. that’s exactly why you should be taking notes instead of talking back.
Do I have to take my notes in the existing shower thoughts format or can I transcribe to plain english?
In a world full of Musks be a George Hayduke.
Dealting it was legal Smellting it was criminalized

I am extremely aware the illegalization of fonts played also a key role in the Nazi literature burnings. Thus my artistic mockery.
