↩ @HarschJoha583 > Sounds a lil bit anti-islam but hey Fuck statements like this. Similarly, fuck claiming that standing up for Gazans', West Bankers, Lebanese, Syrian people's right to live in peace and not get encroaching settlements, constant drone strikes and bombs is antisemitic. And fuck claiming that standing up for Ukrainian people's right to live in peace and not be invaded is Russophobic. And fuck not even noticing the needless and extreme manmade suffering in Sudan, Myanmar, North Korea and elsewhere. And fuck the possibility that in the future statements like this will have to include a line for Greenland. We stand for human dignity. That is the bottom line. You can disagree on details of individual situations and what specific actions hurt or help, but the bottom line in resolving such issues must be a common agreement that the underlying goal is to protect the dignity of all people. This is more important than political teams. There are also people who are on the same political team as you, but whose words and actions clearly demonstrate that they are not interested in human dignity - genuine *phobes who use appeals to freedom and life opportunistically. This must also be opposed. Again, the north star is human dignity. To be ultimately more interested not in pushing the people you oppose down, but in lifting the people you feel sympathy for up. If you observe the long-term pattern of how someone acts, you can tell.

AI summary of the linked article

Vitalik Buterin argues that human dignity should take priority over political team loyalty. He says the bottom line in resolving disputes over individual situations must be a shared commitment to protecting the dignity of all people, and that this matters more than political teams. He also says people on one's own side whose actions show indifference to dignity, such as opportunistic users of appeals to freedom and life, should be opposed too. The post lists conflicts it names, including Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar and North Korea, and rejects labeling advocacy for these peoples as antisemitic or Russophobic.

He should become a German as we have human dignity as the first principle in the constitution. Yet, I guess it is also selectively applied

if you’re interested, Trust is organising an event about the new surveillance and policing law in Berlin ASOG on Monday.

Prevention of crime? That sure too does sound like a human-dignity maximizing operation if you ask me. „Human dignity violation predicted!!! Limit freedom of individual immediately!!!“
