Quote

I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze, than it should be stifled in dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, with every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. - Jack London 寧化飛灰,不作浮塵。 寧投熊熊烈火,光盡而滅;不伴寂寂朽木,默默同腐。 寧為耀目流星,迸發萬仗光芒;不羨永恒星體,悠悠沉睡終古。 - Chris Patten, the last Governor of Hong Kong, quoted in Hong Kong Policy Address 1996 (the last address before 1997 handover to China)

[Jun 14, 2025] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Addresses the Iranian People


This is a textbook speech. It addresses the people living under a hostile regime, clearly stating that the target is not the people themselves, but the regime that has been oppressing them. Even if we directly help you overthrow the regime, the ones who will govern afterward are still your own people. The final stretch of the war still requires you to rise up, resist, and build the country you desire. 

Why another regime comes to my mind too?
