i'm not even finished reading it yet. there's so much good shit in there

Those who do raise doubts about F.C. tend to go too far, she wrote in a 2011 paper for Disability Studies Quarterly: ‘‘Although opponents of F.C. present themselves as engaging in scientific debate, some instances of continuing anti-­F.C. expression meet the criteria to count as hate speech.’’ She conceded that there were studies showing that the method didn’t work, but there were others that indicated just the opposite. The skeptics’ dismissal of F.C., she argued, their insistence that it never works, could be taken as a form of ableist oppression.

I can empathize with a human becoming infatuated with another human under their care. It isn't ethical, but it is understandable. However the person with agency has a resposibility to not predate on the person in their care.

In this case, I do not empathize with her not backing down, and using her position as facilitator to fake a defense from him in her own grammar and word choice. At that point she transitions from flawed person to narcissistic monster.

that article brings out the fucked-up-peter-singer in me b/c just can't see "accidentally falling in love with yourself via a human ouija board" as morally or legally equivalent to the aggravated sexual assault of a normal person. the facts that make it a crime in the first place make it essentially beastiality

Gerard Prunier`s Africa's World War: Congo, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Making of a Continental Catastrophe

I recently read Prunier`s book on Darfur, which was good enough

Prunier seems accurate enough but there are some who view him as pro-US imperialist for acknowledging that the anti-Tutsi genocide happened. they say this in spite of the fact that he harshly criticizes the US-backed Kagame regime for its backing of proxy militias in the DRC and its illicit plundering of mineral resources.

it didnt come off that way to me, i think theres enough stuff in there to show that FC doesn't work and that stubblefield was deeply narcissistic/delusional. the only sympathetic part imo is that her sentence could be up to 40 years, which is obviously way over the top.

i posted it partially b/c ive been realising how easily the language of 'privilege' can be used for imperialist or exploitative purposes if you omit actual historical material analysis. this seems like its the apogee of that rhetoric since it ended in the sexual abuse of a disabled black man, while the abuser is an ethics professor who talks about disabled rights and white privilege.

#12938
i literally deleted my new york times quick link and no longer click any gawker, vice, nyt, etc. articles

also beastiality and whatever that woman did which was probably really bad are also permissible and possibly OK if u are not an idiot about things. im not going to argue on behalf of disabled/differently abled people or make crazy claims, but, uh, idk

someone link me something to get from the libary that is about the toyota war/libyan rev?

why would acknowledging Rwandan genocide make him a pro-US imperialist? The US were more interested in saving the silverback gorillas and the Tonya Harding controversy than they were concerned with genocide in Rwanda. is it because the US had supported Tutsis prior to the genocide? The US had full information of who was orchestrating the genocide, and had even been in contact with them, but still didn't do anything. I don`t really view Prunier as a "pro-US imperialist" but I suppose I haven`t actually read why people think this about him.



Actually the US created the 'genocide' which in reality was an invasion by U.S. backed contras of a sovereign African nation which was attempting modest programs of redistribution and national independence. They then used 'hutus' and 'tutsis' as time-immemorial groups to justify the slaughter as the natural result of African savagery. I hope this sounds familiar since Rwanda was in many ways the model of Libya and Syria.

it`s just false information. if any western power was culpable in orchestrating the rwandan genocide, it would be france - who directly supported the rwandan army, as well as the interahamwe. they provided arms, training, and logistical support - france also blocked the international community/the UN from intervening in rwanda. french soldiers even took part in the killing.

France had a history of seeking a somewhat independent path in foreign affairs from the US & UK before Sarkozy entered office. granted this often just meant supporting a different set of right-wing dictators...

im looking for books or websites that talk about something kind of specific. the liberals i talk to all have a really stupid dream-version of europe in their heads (scandinavia and the netherlands come up a lot) and they constantly invoke it as proof that capitalism cant be the root of social ills because look at the netherlands, they have the highest Happiness Quotient and they have capitalism etc. etc. and they all use it to argue that liberal reformism is the light Vote Sanders and so on. are there any books that talk about why these places are actually hell holes. or are they not hell holes?? are they just bourgeois European paradises built with third-world blood?

sweden is the world's "rape capital" because the police are trusted and women report rape way more than virtually any other country. the real increase in rape is obviously impacted by immigrants from violent countries, but it owes much more to comprehensive police data than the barbaric muslim hordes

obviously an influx of asylum seekers causes societal problems, but the same could be said about germany's tiny population growth rate and shrinking labor force. germany is rich but lacking in cheap labor, so paying now to build up foreign laborers follows. it's like the us paying off the taliban rather than fighting them: it obviously won't work in the long term, but throwing your excess of money for a short return is comparatively "rational" in neoliberal terms
