Thought came to me by including in the previous post citing Boris Cyrulnik: "Denial, whether mental or physical, is a defense mechanism that allows less affected by adapting to a real inconsistent. "

I think denial is widespread and commonplace when it comes to racism in our society. But our real is it inconsistent to the point that we should adapt for this denial?

is the mirror Which brings me to writing this post. I would characterize this discrepancy by the following formula:

"Please continue to be poor for our wealth!"

How, indeed, even with the lowest incomes in our western world , we still have purchasing power of tens, hundreds or thousands of times higher than in the rest of the world?
Is it not because a Westerner considers normal and legitimate to acquire goods and services that require dozens of men (or women or children) produce in the same time?
What would happen if revenues were balanced and became equivalent wherever in the world? Simply an explosive increase in the prices of manufactured goods! Thus, only the poverty of 85% of terrestrial populations allows the opulence of the remaining 15%. This poverty is a vital necessity!

However, these remaining 15% are most active when it comes to convey moral and humanistic values, when issuing hasty judgments about the reasons of poverty distant, when s 'acts of pity on violence and indecency of human misery.

That inconsistency: How to accept this imbalance crying while not denying these values "humanist"? Only the denial can achieve this feat. Denial of what? But denial and accept that we are well aware of this inconsistency, the denial that we are the beneficiaries (for some time at least), we consider the denial of humanity as heterogeneous and hierarchical, the denial that we consider normal to be at the top of this hierarchy. This certainty of normality is facing transformations West internal increasingly diverse, this normality is racism that continues to be a reflex of survival of a society gone mad.

So yes, we understand a little better this hatred that we generate.

Chomsky and Co. will be theatrically released

In the series of documentaries useful Chomsky and Co. had a special destiny as it is born of a radio show, he was supported by many underwriters who waited for over a year before seeing it on DVD, and it now has a theatrical release.
In May 2007, Daniel Mermet realized with Giv Anquetil in his radio Over there if I'm a series of interviews with Noam Chomsky, from which Olivier Azam has made a film that will also meet Normand Baillargeon and Jean Bricmont via Montreal, Toronto, Paris, Boston, Brussels, ... The film was entirely self-produced by the cooperative audiovisual Mutiny on Pangea without public aid or pre-purchase a TV. With thousands of individual subscribers, the film took more scope for moving in later in editing, researching material, technique, etc.., Modestly and reward individual employees.

The film synopsis:

At the time of helplessness and resignation prevails, the work of Noam Chomsky is a radical antidote to all those who want to end the manufacture of impotence and its watchdogs highbrow-media.
Indefatigable, unclassifiable, relentless, "the most intellectual and most popular city in the world" continues the unmasking mechanisms of domination with astonishing vitality. But no hagiography, not ready to think. Often the intellectual is one who wants us to think like lui.Au contrary, Chomsky leads us to develop on our own critical thinking skills against various forms of power and the ideologies that justify them. It shows that social changes are our reach.
And besides, he is not alone. From Boston to Brussels, we meet scientists, journalists, activists such as Jean Bricmont, or Normand Baillargeon author of "Small intellectual self-defense classes," which could be the subtitle of this movie committed against cynicism conformisteet thought soft fake rebels.
Above all this film is campaigning for the ascent of the Pic du Canigou.

Well then, believe?

Buy Nothing Day November 29

Like every year the last Saturday of November, returned for a Buy Nothing Day a few weeks before Christmas, high mass consumption ... This International Day is held in many countries including the United Kingdom , the Germany, the Italy, Israel and U.S. .

But no need to have a well-oiled organization to participate: it is enough, that day, not to buy anything. Simply. And yes, it falls on a Saturday - it's probably on purpose. So yes, it's annoying for those who take the opportunity to refuel for the week that day. But precisely this is the ideal opportunity to reflect on our behavior in this area, often more facts habits that desires real.

The early reflections on Christmas gifts is fairly representative: how far to buy the excuse that it's "bio" or "in a green spirit"? realize how far things yourself when it can cause tissue that controls fly? how far do symbolic when it was used to provide other "big"? Reflection is open, and the internal debate will probably never really resolved. Meanwhile, Can we really do is do our best at least, until even better ...
