I vote comrade Yogthos.

Thank you for your words, really.

I didn’t claim a genocide on the disabled isn’t happening. It was a stupid terminology question that is proven absurd through the experience of a person closer to the matter.

I wrote a lot, and it’s very confusing. It might not deserve an answer, but I though sending it through was better than silence. So, for posterity, there it is.

I don’t understand it myself. It’s a subject I’m not comfortable with, I don’t know how to speak about it. I apologise.

I was thinking the case about abnormalities detectable through genetics. Namely down syndrome, and the eugenics argument around it. That’s the relationship I had in mind when I opened the thread.

I suppose there’s cases for other abnormalities, where early diagnostics could exist? And then, when parents could suffer pression to abort the pregnancy.

So… These wouldn’t be cases for slave labour, but one could argue that if this is provided and available, there would be some social pressure for these to happen, therefore this could be one form of genocide of the disabled?

Also, the case for the ageing population. Encouraging euthanasia, like Canada is trying to pass (has passed?) laws to enable it, when the family can’t support the disabilities naturally occurring through age.

I’m not sure what the question is. I think I just wanted more material to get more familiar with the topic and the discussions around it.

Maybe the question is, if we theoretically prevent “all” disabilities through all means, is this genocide of the disabled? I think the concept of genocide of the disabled confuses me.

You touch “genocide of the disabled”. This is an area I don’t understand deeply, so please forgive my ignorance.

Can you expand on it, or give me some sources, please?

Isn’t a society practicing “from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs” going to provide enough support to the disabled so that they become “enabled”, in some shape or form? Wouldn’t such society try to discuss and prevent such conditions to the extent of reasonability?

Or course, it feels fair to support anyone, with whatever their wrapping society can provide, and to prepare to provide the most, but. Isn’t preventing physical and mental hardship part of that, too?

👍

Is what I learned with fallout. Or something.

Yeah, when there’s aliens news I always ask myself “okay, where they don’t want us to be discussing, now?”

I don’t know what that is, this time. Anything Ukraine or Israel?

What a beautiful sum up, comrade. 🫡

There’s a new expansion pack for factorio. Factorio is not for everyone, but whoever gets it gets a cheap per hour entertainment.

Could there be a “I’m well paid here, but I’m not going to actually fight for this shitty state” thing going on?

“i don’t think whoever gets to win, or to lose, nor whoever wins or loses, will win. Or lose. Everybody’s going to lose.” - Rousseff, Dilma. When getting couped out of Brazilian presidency.

It’s out of context, but one of my favourite quotes ever. I’ve never seen it translated.

Sorted.

I’d suggest using industry standard (utm tracking codes) for that. I thought v=10 was a versoning parameter and didn’t remove it. :D

Punch racists too.

Some very politically “neutral” are “the book of” series. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24878419-the-sociology-book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8493026-the-philosophy-book

You can find them on Anna’s archive.

I honestly don’t know how to describe them relative to how lemmygrad’s political line, but I like that there’s a time line, and it felt complete enough for my young self.

I suppose after getting a grasp, some vocabulary, and context, it is probably easier to follow prolewiki’s: https://en.prolewiki.org/index.php?title=Portal:Marxism

I’d also follow the collective study groups here, in your position. :)

Let me know how it goes! Hasta la victoria, siempre!

How about starting with a guide, and make notes on primary sources for later?

Anything you get here will be someone’s take on the path for sociology. Just like the author of a sociology review guide/book.

Otherwise, sociology concepts tend to be non trivial to navigate, because beginners miss the historical context in which concepts are proposed. And where primary sources are coming from.

This take “primary sources only” hamper your potential understanding, in my opinion. Building this knowledge individually feels pointless, idealistic, even. Because it lacks dialogue with other people that are living and applying those concepts, and risks giving you just a perspective based only on your own limited experience, instead of an actual grasp on the gradient of sociological ideas. Which is apparently what you are looking for.

Is that level of seniority expected in the battlefield?

Looks like you were bothered. Why? That might help figuring out the appropriate reaction.

Feels like you felt personally attacked for being the one they chose to cut in front to. If that’s the case, a clear “hey, please find somewhere else in the line to cut in front to” might be enough to get them to at least swap places with you. It acknowledges them, is polite, but firm.

One more from one of my favourite news podcast. Not outspokenly communist, but based as fuck. And sprinkled with fun editing. ;)

I wasn’t aware of the controversy, but I’m not surprised it’s yet another mess caused by the existence of the British empire.

If they’re Brazilian, we have a few comrades doing really great comms on youtube: Jones Manoel, Ian Neves, João Carvalho, Humberto Matos, to name a few.

https://youtu.be/-QYhViVpavg

This is a 2h30 long lecture for web on the topic. With almos 600k views.

https://youtu.be/JwDDPwGT7UQ?t=3m33s Or this, in 20 minutes, hot from today.

Theres also the podcast xadrez verbal. Two historians discussing international politics weekly, adding a lot of historical context to current event. Not revolutionary, but it brought me much closer to the lemmygrad line. Their coverage after Oct 7 was almost 8 hours long. https://youtu.be/gDaChPREsd8?t=13m54s

Uhm. Maybe they don’t need that much, but if conversation open up, there’s a few sources there. All of them really great at explaining the historical context around everything.

We also have c/Brazil, here… For later. Best of luck!

Your work is beautiful, comrades.
