mad about the idea of money being exchanged for goods and services
first of all, explain to me, what makes them “goods”, instead of , “bads”
hsfdjkgsdfkdlsf\g i’m screaming because,,,, idk if op knows this but,,,,,,, this is a real thing in economics that we talk about and draw models of:
MONEY CAN BE EXCHANGED FOR BADS AND DISSERVICES
First one: Melissa Ann Rowland was charged with homicide because she was informed that without a C-section it was virtually guaranteed that it would result in the death of one of her twin children. Prosecutors argued that she was negligent in ignoring repeated warnings that one or both children would die unless she received medical treatment. Additionally, Rowland was found to have cocaine and alcohol in her system and faces additional child endangerment charges. She has a history of past child abuse as well.
Second: Purvi Patel was convicted of feticide after delivering a child which the prosecution argued to be between 25 to 30 weeks of development, and which they argued was born alive at the time and could have been saved had Patel sought medical assistance for the child, instead of doing what she did and putting it in a paper bag and throwing it in a dumpster. She was also found to have ordered abortifacients online from overseas, which is illegal on its own. Whether she used them or not in this case, it is clear there was intent to get rid of the child one way or another.
Third: This one is largely as reported. However of note is that the cancer Angela Carder had was both inoperable and fatal, and would have ended her life mere days after she did end up dying. The mother’s life was going to end regardless of whether the procedure happened or not, the C-section was an attempt to save at least one of the two of them.
Fourth: They were not “accusations” that Gibbs used drugs. Trace amounts of cocaine byproduct were found in the baby’s system, because Gibbs was in fact using cocaine. Regardless of that though, the charges were dismissed.
Fifth: I am not able to actually find any article detailing this incident. The link given in the tweet is to a NYT article that is essentially just a repeat of this whole tweet thread without any of the sources, and gives no additional details about this supposed incident. As far as what has been provided, this one has no evidence that it even happened.
Sixth: Christine Taylor was originally arrested because she reportedly made statements to hospital staff and police which implied that she may have intentionally tried to get rid of her child by throwing herself down the stairs. “Initial police reports, according to the Iowa Hawk Eye, say that “Taylor told police she intentionally fell down stairs at her home because she wanted to end the pregnancy.”
Seventh: Bei Bei Shuai consumed rat poison in an attempt to kill herself after the married man she had been sleeping with abandoned her. She failed to kill herself, but her child suffered a brain hemorrhage and died. She stated in her suicide note that she was “taking the baby with [her]”, displaying clear intent to kill both the baby and herself.
These women were punished because it was determined that their actions directly caused the deaths of their children or were intended to do so. The idea that women shouldn’t be punished for murdering or attempting to murder their children because those children happen to be unborn is ridiculous.
So there you have it. Anti-abortionists do in fact want to punish pregnant people with murder for:
- Refusing a medical procedure
- Taking drugs
- Attempting suicide
The corollary is that pregnant people may and indeed must be forced into mandatory C-sections, for instance, if a doctor decides it is necessary–because the rules of consent over their own bodies do not apply to a pregnant person. Even if the person doesn’t want it. Even if they are dying. Suicide, which is not a crime anywhere in the United States, is a crime for pregnant people. This is blatant inequality under the law and anti-abortionists are celebrating it.
They can’t be clearer about it. They don’t think cis women and AFAB people should have a right to their own bodies and should be punished for decisions they make about their bodies. That is the logical conclusion of abortion laws, and anything else is just wishy-washy political equivocation.
The anti-choicer above doesn’t even have sympathy for the cancer patient. According to anti-choicers, if you’re pregnant, you’re not a person.
@prolifecompassion
no one:
pro life people on facebook: here’s another graphic picture of a mutilated infant, hope this convinces you your politics are immoral instead of making me look like a psychopath
Love when tinder couples don’t include the picture of the nasty boyfriend until the last pic. You’re really ashamed of that thing aren’t you
Y’all better stop thinking you can talk to anyone on the internet any type of way, especially when you struggle making calls to people in real life. People on the internet are not target practice for the insults you never got to hurl at your 5th grade bullies, or fodder for your unfettered feelings of insecurity that you can’t seem to stop projecting on others. We get it: you have no sense of control or power over your life so you go online and try to mimic that same power you wish you had. Take it up with your therapist, don’t bring that shit around me.
capitalism as a justification for white supremacy in the US should be more well known but isn’t because anticommunist propaganda is strong, so here’s an article on how US ~free market, freedom, patriotism~ organizations we know today developed in opposition to civil rights and continue to normalize such rhetoric. some are less known and some are active and popular today
I should never have needed to type the phrase ‘Fascist Nazi Captain Planet RPer’ with my own two hands.
In light of the whole captain-planet-official nazi dogwhistles thing…
Doesn’t matter if they know what they’re doing or not (but they certainly do) or if they’re doing this ‘ironically’ (a cop out excuse to claim plausible deniability when they get called out) this fascist nazi Captain Planet blog is influencing its readers in a bad way, and you should be aware of how. Because honestly I’ve used some of those techniques too.
“But it’s all a joke!” No it’s not. It’s masquerading as a joke, hiding behind that claim if the heat gets too intense, but it’s not a joke.
Well, except maybe for the fact that the right wingers are laughing at you trying to figure it out, ‘getting confused’ or defending parts of what’s been said.
The short premise is that the more positively you feel about a personality on the internet, the more likely you are to agree with them, and the more likely you are to side with them on issues that you didn’t previously have an opinion on. At some point you file them away in your brain as ‘someone I agree with’ and use them as a shortcut for ‘If they said this, I agree with them’. It’s a very human thing, it’s why advertisers pay so much for celebrity endorsements.
So part of what this Nazi Captain Planet rper is/was doing (I can’t believe I typed that phrase with my own two hands, what even is 2019?) is making you feel attached to them, and partly it’s training your brain to accept and normalise their rhetoric.
So how does a blog set about accomplishing this?
Start with an easy one- giving you a nickname or term of endearment. It makes you feel special, and like you belong to something. They use Planeteers, I used Vetlings. People crave belonging.
Then have an approachable front: a much loved cartoon character. The trusted profession of veterinarian.
Now if you’re trying to do this deliberately, start getting people into a quick habit of agreeing with you. Pick neutral ground that’s hard to criticise - protecting the environment is good, don’t litter, we want good things for our pets, etc.
And once you’ve got people agreeing with you on multiple points in succession, it becomes easier to get them to agree with, or at least tolerate, the next point. Especially if you’re on a relatively unassuming blog about ‘saving the environment’ or animal health.
Did you ever try that trick as a kid where you ask someone to repeat the word ‘silk’ out loud ten times in a row, and then ask ‘what does a cow drink’? A bunch of them will automatically reply ‘milk’ instead of ‘water’ because you primed their brain.
So you can use this repeated behavior to desensitise readers to an idea, get them used to agreeing with you, until you slip some things in which they might normally side-eye.
It’s making the brain practice how you want it to think before the main event. It’s showing your work so that other people can apply it to other situations. I’ve done it too, rather more unintentionally most of the time on this blog, though I use it when communicating directly with clients.
For example, in my writing I can lead you down the garden path of:
“Purebreds have problems because they haven’t had new genes introduced in generations”
> “mixing of breeds is a good thing”
> “breed purity is a bad thing, maybe not immediately but it is bad”.
Then I will often leave readers to make the last step on their own, because I trust they’re intelligent and reasonable, and a conclusion you reach yourself has more sticking power than any I just hand you.
So when you conclude “racial purity is a completely bullshit concept and detrimental to the health of those ‘races’, are Nazis actually trying to make us as screwed over as German Shepherds?” you will hold that opinion more strongly than if I just said it to you.
Similarly, a different blog leading you down the path of “Invasive species are a result of globalism and must be removed” with “there are three types of people: black, Jews and normal” is leading you towards the path of “blacks and Jews are not normal, they are invasive and we should remove them” and then that goes to “but humanely! We can humanely euthanize invasive species!” and I’m sure you can see where that is going. It also co-opts real conservation talk and terms, but it’s glossing over the fact it’s trying to get you to think about people this way, often with as much plausible deniability as they can muster. Throw the thoughts out there, see what sticks, then backtrack if it doesn’t work.
On that note of backtracking, this is where Dogwhistles come in.
A Dogwhistle is a phrase that on its own looks perfectly benign, or even makes sense in context, but has a specific meaning for a particular subgroup of people that change the context. Just like dog whistles are heard by dogs, but not by people.
A classic example is the phrase ‘family values’, which often means anti-LGBT+ in a Christian context even though it sounds like it should mean something supportive.
The Nazi and alt-right ones change periodically. From relatively old school ones like ‘14 words’, the number 88, and ‘final solution’, to more recent ones like putting names in (((brackets))), particular emojis and even ‘Subscribe to Pewdiepie’.
Yes, ‘Subscribe to Pewdiepie’ became a Nazi dogwhistle, regardless of whatever you might think of Pewdiepie. If it was thrown into a context where it didn’t necessarily seem to belong, it changed the meaning of those words. And if that person was called out on it, they’d backtrack and claim they simply liked the content. And the bigger the meme became, the easier it was for them to use.
Ah, you might think by now, but lots of people also use ‘Subscribe to Pewdiepie’, emojis and sentences with 14 words. And 88 is a perfectly ordinary number, a birth year even, there are times when it’s really just being used legitimately?
Of course there are. But when you start to see a lot of them together, it starts to look suspicious.
And if you are a minority regularly targeted by such a hateful group, it starts to look really very intimidating. So if everybody starts reblogging these dogwhistles from a colourful Captain Planet blog, it makes it look like there are far more Nazi supporters than anything else. And it isolates those minorities.
This is why it’s so insidious that they claimed something like Captain Planet - a character with significant nostalgia, a show with a pretty diverse group of main characters and a good message, and co-opted it into spreading these dogwhistles and priming unwary minds to think these rhetorics, these training ideas, are reasonable.
“But it was clearly a troll, lmfao!”
Oh hell no. These are real tactics. They will say it’s a joke, it’s trolling, or that you’re overreacting, but that’s part of the plan to seed these ideas. Don’t defend it. Don’t fall for it.
I know this is controversial, but the shift of the phrase “emotional labour“ from meaning “the economically-undervalued and frequently unacknowledged role of social support in upholding society, esp. as a class dynamic between men and women” to meaning, like, “ever taking the time to explain anything or express any kindness and reassurance” has been a p. shitty thing for us, I think.
Thats not what emotional labor is. It was coined by Arlie Hochschild in her book The Managed Heart to mean the work of managing ones own emotions that is required of certain professions. For example, fight attendants are expected to always smile and be friendly no matter the situation. It is strictly about expectations in the workplace i.e. class relations. Neither definitions given in the OP are correct, and it says a lot that the term has been coopted from its original meaning based on class relations and unpaid expectations in the workplace to just “my husband doesn’t help around the house”. The term has become something even bourgeois women have access to, but that working class men no longer do.
“Under communism little to no mental illness will exist” is such a fucking cold take. I will still be fucking schizoaffective bipolar under communism! I will still have OCD and PTSD and anxiety disorders! These things are aggravated by the stress of capitalism but are not brought on entirely by capitalism. I will still need meds when socialism/communism wins! The pharmaceutical industry sucks, yes, but people will still need their fucking psych meds to function and be stable! I’ve seen so many cold takes saying neurodivergent people can go off their meds once capitalism is overthrown and that’s not how it works. Many mentally ill people will still be mentally ill, and everyone with a developmental disability is going to still be developmentally disabled. Just because capitalism makes our conditions worse doesn’t mean it’s entirely responsible 100% of the time. Will some conditions improve to the point of not needing meds under communism? Maybe! Who knows? The point is that arguing that neurodivergence will be a thing of the past (or close to it) under communism or socialism does nothing to actually help neurodivergent people.
I feel like some leftists/postleftists border on antivax rhetoric sometimes, like I’ve seen a lot of stuff about medication being made to control you and that by changing your lifestyle you can start feeling better. This rhetoric also feeds into my delusions so that’s never fun
It’s also just an inherently ableist position when the utopia you strive for inherently doesn’t include the possibility of mentally ill people. Like if your perfect post-revolution world doesn’t have room for neurodiversity and mental health struggles idk what to tell you- that’s awfully parallel to the eugenicist’s utopia.
an ecofascist blog has been gaining a lot of followers recently
the user captain-planet-official, who got popular from posts like this masking as environmental care (as most ecofascists do):
frequently slip in bits of white supremacist/racist/antisemitic commentary or ideals between posts, such as these:
or even the user outright requesting fashwave images from other fascists on here:
i’m not only worried about this for the sake of kicking weird fascist cunts like this off of the site, but also because of the fact that his entire persona has been attracting minors who don’t understand the undertone or even ecofascism itself. i’ve recently talked to one who had drawn fan art for the page! this isn’t good at all!
please spread this.
I found a few more on their blog :
Black, Jewish, or “normal”?
Also, if that’s not enough, they flat out admit they’re a fascist:
Quick tip: seaching someone’s blog for words like “jews, jewish, blacks, muslims, gay, nazis, fascism” etc can almost immediately give you posts with evidence of their beliefs.
