Well, they do say history repeats itself.
It hurts my eyes to look at this. I think I may have gone a little overboard.
The centennial pool demolition is under way. On a walk around the city to catch up on events happening June 18, 2014 Christchurch New Zealand.
Swimsuits have been hung on the fence around the Centennial Pool by campaigners against the complex's demolition.
The Armagh St facility is being pulled down to make way for the new Margaret Mahy Family Playground. The work is not expected to affect traffic in the surrounding streets.
Christchurch Central Development Unit (CCDU) director Warwick Isaacs said construction on the playground would begin this year.
The pool complex was closed after the February 2011 earthquake and the CCDU controversially bought it from the Christchurch City Council to form part of the city's recovery blueprint plan.
The council later looked at keeping the centre but was bound by a cost-sharing agreement with the Crown.

This series of images were made at a protest rally in New Orleans. The city is in the process of removing the Confederate Statues of Gen. Robert E. Lee, Thomas Jefferson, a president of the Confederacy and Gen. P.T. Beauregard. Since the city made the announcement, there's been an uproar from those opposing it. Those in favor of the removal are clashing with the opponents. These images were taken near the beginning of the protest; many more gathered later in the afternoon. More pictures to follow when they are processed. This is my means of documenting a piece of history.

On a sunny and rather chilly June afternoon, activists and protesters showed up near the front entrance of the Cook County Jail on California Avenue to call for the defunding of not only the police, "but the entirety of the carceral system that works to control, harm, and destroy Black and brown lives throughout Chicago and the entire country." The event was hosted by the Chicago Torture Justice Center and Black Lives Matter Chicago. After meeting in front of the entrance, well over 100 protesters on foot and most likely the same number in vehicles circled the correctional facility. Those walking loudly expressed their support for reforms to the justice system and for the inmates just behind the walls of the facility. The vocal expressions were supported by those in their vehicles blowing their horns as they took up the rear of the march and caravan.

We often read of protest votes well here is the protest boat seen moored just south of Saul Junction on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal whilst on my recent cruise on the MV EDWARD ELGAR.

In 1943 Gauleiter Paul Giesler spoke at the Ludwig Maximilian university.
Imagine the scene, the middle of WW2, nazi flags everywhere, high ranking nazis who could have you shot for even the slightest insult or 'defeatist' comment, many of the students actually wearing Wehrmacht uniform as they are also active soldiers.
When Giesler, a nasty piece of work, started talking about the female students, saying they shouldn't really waste time in school but concentrate on being mothers and give the fuhrer a few sons, how they weren't suitable for studying and if they couldn't find a husband because they were too ugly, he could find a few of his men to do the deed, the students were shocked and appalled.
But even in this nazi society, at a nazi indoctrinated institution, surrounded by nazis, having grown up in a time when the idea that women should indeed just be housewives and not study were actually quite common even among non-nazis, even in this situation, the students protested.
They started shouting, booing, disagreeing.
And even when Police officers with truncheons entered the hall and started wacking people, the students still would not be silenced.
And not just the girls who were forced to sit on the balcony, but also the male students sitting downstairs, many of whom in wehrmacht uniform, conscripted into the Wehrmacht.
The Gauleiter was forced to end his speech early and leave.
This public and dangerous protest encouraged members of one of Germany's most famous resistance groups die Weiße Rose to continue their work with renewed passion.
This story which sadly is mostly unknown, deserves some extra attention these days.
I find it very interesting that in 1943, in Nazi Germany, at an university students who had been living in a Nazi society and been bombarded by Nazi propaganda for over a decade, since their childhood, protested against a sexist Nazi speech.
Two subjects that somehow are way too relatable than they should be today.
A time when words like Nazism, feminism, rude and vulgar politicians, patriarchy, protesting, not taking the younger generation seriously, free speech, etc, etc, are again in the news in unexpected ways.
Disclaimer; I got the pictures from the movie 'Die weiße Rose' (1982) as there are none of the actual event.
This superb movie was made in the 1980s and tells the story of the German resistance group of the same name, not to be confused with the also very good 'Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage' (2005).
I highly advice you to go watch both these movies, the 1980s one first.
Although it is not my habit to promote illegal behaviour, I think the times we live in make it important to hear these stories and see the movies, no matter how you do it.
So check out youtube.

Deze meneer sprak me aan op het Binnenhof en vroeg of ik een foto van hem wilde maken met zijn protestparaplu's. (zie vorige upload)
Op facebook is een groeiende groep mensen zich aan verzamelen die ontevreden is over het Nederland van nu.
Die groep noemt zich "Protest 1.000.000 Nederlanders".
Zaterdag, 8 november, is er een grote zorgdemonstratie op het Plein. We zullen ongetwijfeld nog meer van deze groep horen. Deed mij een beetje denken aan de beginfase van de occupybeweging.
This is Bert in protest mode. When in places with too much temptation he's in a harness on a flexi lead. Which is normally ok but every now and then it needs a protest. Queue five minutes of circling with the evil lead in mouth!

Pensions protest in London, June 2011
I spotted this guy on my walk around London on February 28th, 2020.
I've never attended a protest. My life and right to exist have never been threatened by the powers that be. If there was a checklist of privileges, I'd be able to tick almost every box. White, male, able-bodied, heterosexual, English-speaking, born in Canada, born into an upper-middle-class family, etc. But more and more, I've come to realize the need to protest.
To paraphrase Barack Obama, progress isn't always straightforward. Sometimes we take a giant leap backward for every few paces forward. In America right now, the Supreme Court has decided to strike down Roe vs. Wade, because they believe that women are second-class citizens.
They believe that women are second-class citizens.

In a year that's already been hard to believe (Omicron shattering records; Putin invading Ukraine; horrible inflation), Republicans have gained a victory in trying to bring America back to the stone age. And you know what? They'll succeed. They've already succeeded in disenfranchising Black people in parts of the South of their voting rights...rights that they only had for a handful of decades. They've been gerrymandering for a while. They are taking a bit-by-bit approach to take away the rights of people they don't like, rather than doing it in one big, obvious move, and that is what the Nazis did to the Jews in the years leading up to the Holocaust. It wasn't a matter of throwing open the doors to Auschwitz on opening day and telling the Jews to quit their jobs and get on the trains. The Jews had been stripped of their rights, resources, and dignity for years leading up to that point. They were deliberately weakened. Just like the Republicans are trying to do to everyone who isn't a rich white man.
It all begs the question of who the enemy is. More and more, I'm seeing that it's not so much a fixed category of people who are the enemy. It's people in power who abuse it to deliberately cause harm to segments of the population (Hitler), or who want to enrich themselves at the expense of the masses (Trump) and who want to hold onto that power forever (Putin). Authoritarians. And inconveniently, such people have historically landed all over the political spectrum.
The protestor in this picture wants to ban disposable plastics. While I think disposable plastics have some uses that (thus far) haven't been satisfactorily (I said satisfactorily) replaced by alternatives (i.e., for sanitary purposes), I do think massively reducing the amount of plastic that gets produced -- by a combination of less demand and more regulation -- is a good thing for our environment. And the environment is more important than jobs.
