メモ。

Kakistocracy
カキストクラシー。悪徳政治。ギリシャ語の kakistos(最悪の)に由来。最も能力が低く、不道徳な人間によって運営される政府を指す言葉。

Kakistocracy
A form of corrupt government. The word comes from the Greek kakistos (“the worst”), and it describes a government run by the least capable and most immoral people—a very strong and condemning term.

One has to wonder if the United States has descended into a state that no longer fits within the framework of 'authoritarianism'. If so, what should we call this monstrosity?

記者から質問されて「黙れ、ブタ」と罵ったアメリカの大統領。そんなトランプ氏を熱烈に支持する愚かな有権者がアメリカには数多くいる。

同盟国の首脳も、世界の宗教者も、有力メディアも、だれもかれも、トランプに忖度する。彼は、全人類を絶滅させられるだけの核兵器を発射できる権能をもつ「恐怖の大王」だから。

巨大すぎる超大国のリーダーが道を誤ったいま、人類が試されているのだと思うぞ。

映画『医の倫理と戦争』。見る予定です。

医師は「731」や「九大生体解剖」など直接加害行為があり、倫理的非難が突きつけられました。

それに比べると、思想弾圧に与した判事・検事、新聞記者への責任追及はかなり限定的でした。その理屈は、エルサレムでの裁判でおこなったアイヒマンの抗弁と同じです。

あらためて、司法、教育、報道の職業倫理教育に、戦争協力しないことを埋め込む必要があります。綱領に「反戦の誓い」に関する項目を追記するべきです。

I was surprised to learn that inmates in American prisons are involved in producing newspapers. Prison journalism is a meaningful activity—it helps improve literacy, fosters empathy, and offers a constructive outlet. I deeply respect this project.

The partisan split is extreme: 8% of the GOP vs. 51% of Dems. This gap reflects Trump's attacks. And thanks to social media, most of us only see fragmented news bites on our phones—a total shift from the pre-digital, 20th-century mass media era.

Attacking journalists is not only physical violence against them, but also a form of censorship designed to hide uncomfortable truths.
取材記者に対する攻撃は、記者に対する物理的な暴力であり、かつ、不都合な真実を隠蔽する暴力でもある。

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.

Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

Japanese media gave massive coverage to the Charlie Hebdo shooting (12 victims), debating freedom of speech. Yet, the killing of 31 journalists in Yemen received a completely cold and indifferent treatment. Unacceptable.

Lord Acton's quote, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely," applies beyond political figures. By extension, it's logical to assume that journalists who aligned themselves with the powerful would have also succumbed to corruption.

This is a clear violation of international law. Killing journalists is an attempt to conceal one's own wrongdoing. Is cross-cultural journalistic solidarity impossible?
