"You must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim."
-- Elie Wiesel

「どちらにつくか、選ばねばならない。
 中立は、抑圧者を助けることになる。
 中立が、被害者を助けることはない。」

"Take sides," in my view, does not mean one must "hate" the oppressor; rather, it means that one must unambiguously support the principle that the act of oppression is not to be tolerated. Whether you "like" an individual or not is not pertinent. What is pertinent here is that we unambiguously refuse to tolerate the act of oppression.

「選ぶ」というのは、抑圧者「個人」を「憎悪」せよということでは無い。
抑圧の「行為」が社会的に「許されないものだ」という規範支持を明確にせよ、ということ。個人が好きとか嫌いとかは勝手にすれば良い。そのことと、抑圧「行為」を許さないことは、違う。行為を許さないことが、被害者を助ける

@YoWatShiinaEsq We are doing taking sides and standing up against oppression here in Ontario today, as our Provincial government has abrogated the right of unions to strike and to bargain. This must stop. Our democracy is at risk!
