Humanitas

A high school program involving classes between AE and honors. Students work as a team with devoted teachers that are chosen by the school's Humanitas coordinator. They go on field trips inside and outside of school, that involve whatever it is they study in class. Classes link certain subjects together; for example, if in History, students are learning about the industrial revolution, they might read something in English class by an author writing during that time period. Humanitas is a kickass program, and everyone in it is part of the family.
That was an awesome Humanitas field trip we took to the play-house.

Weapons are humanitarian aid.

Weapons are humanitarian aid — A perfect example of neo-doublespeak in the tradition of “fake news”, “perfect phone call”, “alternative facts”, and “peaceful tourist rioting with Confederate Flags”.

A most dystopian 21st century reality perhaps illustrating the idea that we really are living in the Kālī Yuga — The Dark Age.

When compared with statements like:

Rice is humanitarian aid
Wheat is humanitarian aid
Digging fresh water wells is humanitarian aid
Offering safe effective and free vaccines is humanitarian aid
Safe and affordable housing is humanitarian aid.

it is easy to see the dark irony of the Orwellian neo-doublespeak statement: weapons are humanitarian aid.

How does this measure up to offering people: food, water, shelter, political asylum, or potential citizenship.

Is it surprising that in an era where gun violence is the number one cause of death among young people in America today; that, we want to export this “largess” all over the world — perhaps as a Swift-ian “modest proposal” to solving the worldwide refugee crisis.

If weapons are humanitarian aid; then WE ARE ACTUALLY AT WAR.

Which would actually be a much more honest and straightforward statement.
Weapons are humanitarian aid. if this statement is true; then, we are actually at war and we should just stop bullshitting about it.

bouquet of humanity

The Prosecution's term for the multiple ethnicities and ages of the people who witnessed the death of George Floyd.
Not only were there multiple bystanders of different races and ages, a bouquet of humanity, but they were all strangers with nothing in common!
