#BikeTooter On repeat: if you simply slow down a bit, ding your bell (yes, a bell. It adds a whooping 1 oz to your bike) and wait for people to move or acknowledge they heard you, and say “thanks" as you pass, you will get TONS of smiles and spontaneous thank yous from virtually ALL demographics. It’s up to you (and them) what you do with those, but I guarantee you it’s far more impressive than you startling people as you rush by without saying anything. Share the trails

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop it’s true. I have no denialists in my life (thankfully) but most people I know and care about...don’t seem to really -get- that we are well into the process of -tipping- into something not good. I think one other person I’m close to really gets it and that’s because they live in an area where they have had to evacuate for wildfires -multiple times- in the past few years. …it seems that most people I know still get their info mostly from corp/mainstream media

blames patriarchy for all the shit shows Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
every dictator in the world uses domination to “rule over” Every business monopoly uses domination as a strategy, to “capture” profits. In warfare, the whole idea is to use groups of people who are specifically deployed to dominate (kill and harm) for peace!! it’s idiotic in every instance. Because it (enables and) basically requires the most ruthless exploitative selfish and greedy POS out there to “win”. Ya know, instead of ostracizing them.

As w/other oppressions: patriarchy normalizes domination by some as THE main strategy for living. As it brainwashes people, it makes utter idiots out of what could be decent humans. Far too many people don’t even know -how many ways they buy into it- and help the world remain androcentric. It is a huge driver of these poly-crises all ideologies based in “might makes right” stunt people. but they allow those prone to greed into utter monsters.

I finally got around to Lerner’s The Creation of Patriarchy (1986), and wow. This excellent book launched the whole field of Women’s History- with cause. The beginning and end are where things really shine (imo). As with many books, the middle of it is full of (brutal) specific historical receipts which support the assertions she makes. Even if you think you know patriarchy, you’ll learn stuff. It was written in 1986, so there are a couple of ways she buys into ideas about “progress” that 1/2

RE: @algernon@journa.host

until her acts in June, she was the NM GOP party’s official Treasurer. Not shocking by now...But tell me more about why anyone would want or need a strong Republican party.

Just reading the story: the harmful level of entitlement is evident: She was issued a warning for -exhibition driving?! - as a 50 something woman in 2025?!!

I like how justice systems often work as advertised for women who do shitty acts, but why do they so often fail to hold shitty men accountable? (Rhetorical question)

With framing with like: extremism has ”crept into” the Heritage Foundation.

it looks like the NYT is helping the Heritage Foundation staffer try to sane-wash earlier actions…I SUPPOSE some folks just didn’t realize how nutty they were? and despite -tons- of warnings, they didn’t believe (and now can't admit) that their policies really paved the roads that led us ...here?

IOW: None of this insanity started with Project 2025, their recommendations have always been reactionary and greed based

Is anyone surprised that the CEO of Shopify is all in for restricting voting rights?

If so, consider:

Right wingers want to uphold “traditional” social hierarchies (the bigoted ones, not social hierarchies based on things like subject matter expertise).

Fascists do this at "extra spicy" levels.

Billionaires thrive in social hierarchies.

And, by their very existence, they *create* "extra spicy" levels of wealth inequities…

still have questions?

Tax or ____ the ultra wealthy

against women and children…

these are criminal CONVICTIONS on actions

1) that we know of
2) on crimes that have notoriously low convictions rates.

Another aspect that I had lost track of is: these inhumane POS are also kidnapping brutalizing and killing people for ...civil infractions.

for not having correct papers.

Abolish ICE is really the minimum.

Arrest prosecute and convict the abusers.

So the people tearing the world apart are so shallow they think being able to own 4 Lamborghinis proves they are top big boys!!!, and not greedy, shallow fools good at math and ruthless exploitation.

I mean how -emotionally stunted- they have to be to chase after and so fully -substitute- status symbols for character. Who does that?

But the main problem is…the systems allow/demand those super shallow people be able to control important directions in the way the world works… ya know?

RE: @juliette@mastodon.green

Oh how I wish more people understood this.

Especially around sciences- what gets funded, what doesn’t, what directions knowledge goes in are choices.

And they all have political consequences. Some incredibly harmful things are deemed “a priority” to know about (building weapons of destruction, ways to further relentless growth on a finite planet ex: developing technologies for fracking) while other really important and useful things are seen by some as frivolous or even dangerous.

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop Yes, completely co sign. A thing that I’ve been chewing on lately is how consistently emotionally stunted the obvious losers have to be to keep believing the stuff they do, they twist themselves into pretzels so they don’t have to take responsibility for holding harmful beliefs or acting in harmful ways And socialization does go deep. Some folks really are so far gone they don’t know how androcentric they are, they see 30% women in a crowd and believe it’s a 50-50 split.

and a second piece from substack today that I’m not gonna link to. Imo: the first one was worth reading, but this one is Krugman (who has a -large- audience) and as is often case, his framing often still lags: he says climate scientists should be applauded but are “reviled”

Thing is they are not at all reviled by folks with critical thinking skills intact, ya know? They have been demonized by…stunted people, chasing money and power over others. which again, just isn’t emotionally healthy.

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop this “Oh Nooo, I’m losing my place at the top of the heap!!!” is also anxiety from a zero sum mindset completely born of patriarchy and dominance based ideologies, and not of …healthier…ideologies. IOW: If those dumb asses had been immersed in egalitarianism models rather than just uncritically believing in the bullshit they were immersed in and continue to believe, their egos wouldn’t be nearly as fragile as they are. And everyone would be happier, including them.

Look, we all contain a bunch of overlapping identities and some of those identities really have been steeped in a bunch of ideologies that ...can... make us a bit fragile around some info. And for some it’s entire realms related to social facts (full fascists). And for others, just a few things might threaten us It's the (often un recognized) ideologies around the identities that make people fragile. Such as "I am smart, therefore I am always smart." Those things can trip people up.

And also, that first post? here’s why I switched the words: misinfo is unknowingly spreading stuff that isn’t true or is just a -small- part of a larger truth (like spreading headlines that say "genetic factors found in those who develop ___!!!!” when MOST of the risks of developing ____comes from risk factors in the environment: whether living near toxic dumps or other stuff) Disinfo is persisting in telling that shit, once you should reasonably know it’s inaccurate or not the whole story

*and for the record: the definition of empathy isn’t set in stone , and many do not think simple pattern recognition of how a person might feel - or the ability to manipulate emotions in others... is sufficient to call it empathy. I don’t think it is, and most working clinicians wouldn’t either. And yes I know and -I don’t care- that one theorist said it was. Newsflash: there are many, many more folks in the field with plenty of expertise than that one person you’ve read about.

We all are more prone toward or away from certain things and have “deficits” in certain areas. Some folks may very well be wired to handle traumas not as well as others. But it’s the existence of difficult circumstances and trauma that -causes- stuff to become real problems. And that is what policies should focus on eliminating, But -that- approach is really really inconvenient for certain folks*...who’d like to just call some folks “bad” or “defective" and put them into camps.

"genetic differences found in people with a specific psychological problem” Here’s a newsflash. We’re ALL wired a little differently, (yup) and you certainly need to take that into consideration as a clinician, but it’s -the environment- (the experiences a person has and the contexts they live in) that matter most amplifying “biological essentialism” and focusing on genetics makes it easier to blame “nature” and wave away -truly mountains- of social factors and experiences.

so you may or may not believe that this exchange just happened with a big boy in a big boy truck who had spewed black diesel smoke at me while accelerating from a stoplight a mile back, but it happened. New stoplight, Me HI!!! Him: Yes miss? Me: You know that bunch of black smoke you blew a while back!!!? Him: Yes? Me: you’re like a two year old!!!! Him: Thanks miss!

@nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social @WeirdWriter@caneandable.social and I -don’t- think most are happy. I think that’s what the pig boys and girls and their enablers want people to believe, but NOT KNOWING HOW to stop something (that is incredibly powerful) and supporting it are two very different things. I don’t support, I dunno, tree disease. I’m troubled by it, but it’s true, I don't do much to stop it personally- because I don’t know how to. But I would. I think a tool to use more is: normalizing emotional sensitivity

@nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social @WeirdWriter@caneandable.social Which people do it? I think it clusters around folks who don’t do much introspection, or have much interior life (aka emotional sensitivity) and so look to outward status markers or “recognized authorities” instead of engaging their own senses of ethics. In case it needs saying: I’m not attacking your comment, just trying to specify who "just does what they are taught” regardless of harm -I think it’s mostly those who are (trained to be) emotionally oblivious

What's an emotionally healthy adult in -this- cultural reality? is a really good question. it's along the lines of "who is sane in an insane world?" But I do KNOW this: Recognized signs of emotional underdevelopment: extreme self absorption/self focus. Seems unable to take other people's perspectives, or see them as valid, callousness to suffering, willing to lie and steal and cheat (harm others) to get what they want. Will go into denial about harms they cause. Sound familiar to anyone?

@paninid@mastodon.world I mean you have to do both. Self soothing is an important skill to have, but anger's been so weaponized! Plenty of people have habitually externalized their anger on the wrong things and people, and what also gets overlooked is there are plenty of times when really externalizing that anger and using it to take down abusers is completely appropriate, and really the only ethical action. But…instead there's this confusion about how to use emotions in healthy ways to fuel good changes

saw research re: "authoritarian beliefs as a social contagion," and while I fully acknowledge that seems to happen, I am more interested in what makes some folks more susceptible to falling for the lies of it, whereas others seem to resist the worst parts And I think much of the answer is found by simply paraphrasing the words of one techno-fascist: it's the lack of introspection. IOW folks with stunted interior lives have no interior sense of right and wrong...🤷‍♀️ emotional awareness matters

Psychologies matter much more than people like to admit. There are ICE goons out there so twisted and stunted they think they are heroes. Seriously. They believe they're heroes because folks they see as "authorities" tell them they are. And they have no interior lives to tell them they are being lied to or are lying to themselves. Patriarchy and crapitalism tell you emotions are frivolous. But our interior lives matter immensely in developing good judgement. You can get better at doing this

@inti@archaeo.social might have something to do with this? The state has historically been -very- poor.

@Kichae@tenforward.social @Tabby_Schaf@mastodon.social @Pinchy63@ottawa.place IOW: socialists DEFINITELY existed prior to Marx (and his ideas about communism) and were already seeing major problems with the means of production being consolidated by a few via capitalism. Marx also talked -a lot- about that for sure, but he also believed that for everyone to be able to access goods and services more equitably, private property pretty much needed to be abolished. This was and still is -very- different from what most socialists aim for.

@Kichae@tenforward.social @Tabby_Schaf@mastodon.social @Pinchy63@ottawa.place respectfully disagree. The term and party (and the communist manifesto itself) were created because communism's aims were different, though -aligned- with socialism. Specifically in its third section the manifest talks about different parties in different countries that it -aligns- with, not that it is synonymous with. Having said that, Engles definitely used the terms more interchangeably after Marx died. also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism
