The Swan, No. 1 by Hilma af Klint is one of her most well known works.

Stop calling Israel “secular” ffs. It’s like saying ISIS is “secular” just because they dont speak for all Muslims. Israel is a theocratic-fascist society that explicitly has an official religion, discriminates based on its official religion and privileges people of certain religious backgrounds over others. The impiety of Israelis has no relation to whether its “secular” or not just as the hypocritical impiety of Saudi rulers don’t change that it’s a theocratic society.

“Secular” Israel is part of its false promise of liberation no different from pinkwashing. By calling it secular you are falling for Israeli propaganda

We are often told that the poor are grateful for charity. Some of them are, no doubt, but the best amongst the poor are never grateful. They are ungrateful, discontented, disobedient, and rebellious. They are quite right to be so. Charity they feel to be a ridiculously inadequate mode of partial restitution, or a sentimental dole, usually accompanied by some impertinent attempt on the part of the sentimentalist to tyrannise over their private lives. Why should they be grateful for the crumbs that fall from the rich man’s table? They should be seated at the board, and are beginning to know it. As for being discontented, a man who would not be discontented with such surroundings and such a low mode of life would be a perfect brute. Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion. Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty. But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less. For a town or country labourer to practise thrift would be absolutely immoral. Man should not be ready to show that he can live like a badly-fed animal. He should decline to live like that, and should either steal or go on the rates, which is considered by many to be a form of stealing. As for begging, it is safer to beg than to take, but it is finer to take than to beg. No: a poor man who is ungrateful, unthrifty, discontented, and rebellious, is probably a real personality, and has much in him. He is at any rate a healthy protest.

I’m having a spirited debate and need a larger sample size

when I see something dated 2019 I think “oh that’s not too long ago” and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes
