#Uniti Group

another thing that I think would fix 50% of queer infighting overnight: if people understood what "invisibility" actually Means.

people see "this oppressed group has a problem with invisibility" and assume it just means "nobody knows what this oppressed group is," and Then assume "so nobody targets this oppressed group for Being an oppressed group."

when what "invisibility" Actually means is that when this oppressed group faces violence, that violence is swept under the rug (either by being misreported, or not reported at all).

the point of fighting back against invisibility is about allowing people to speak up about the oppression they Already Face and actually be Heard. which can then be used to help people get the support that they need.

so when someone says "this group doesn't experience violence Because all they face is invisibility" they are Actively participating in that invisibility, which then perpetuates that violence by allowing it to continue unseen.

which, of course, gets even Worse when people use this misunderstanding as an excuse to be actively violent towards other community members. to Actively try to suppress other people's voices because of this perception that they must Have It Better because the violence they face is, well, Invisible.

I still honestly think about the whole “transmasc have no culture, transmasc have contributed nothing to the LGBTQIA+ community, you are absent from the historical records lol” a lot because it might be one of the stupidest takes that I have seen on the Internet, is it the most…. No, but it’s up there. Like ignoring any reason why that might be, it’s simply also not true at all. It is just a straight up lie, you are lying and I’m pretty sure you knew you were lying. The same thing applies to this idea that non-binary/genderqueer or anybody outside of the strict male or female gender identity hasn’t done anything either(tho I see this a lot less then I see this rhetoric aimed at transmasc)

A analysis of the logic and the disturbing implication of it-that being ROGD

I’m gonna to continue being weird and queer and lust over transgender Russians, regardless of their gender or sex. And I’m going to continue researching historical trans figures regardless of their gender or sex and their contributions to our culture!

Anyways, I love you guys/peeps/girls, drink some water because I know you haven’t. Also, I’m specifying water not coffee, not a monster, not a Red Bull, not lemonade. Tea is acceptable tho just not sugary tea and it should have a lot of water in it. You need water

After passing a budget that aims to cut Medicaid by $880 billion in ten years House Speaker Johnson says: "You return the dignity of work to young men who need to be out working instead of playing video games all day."

That means the cut of medicaid can be most accurately blamed on misandry.

Stereotype used to cast the victims of a bill as an other? Yes

Is the stereotype gendered? Yes

Is it connected to a male specific gender role/expectation/norm? Yes

Ruling: Sexist attitudes about men are being played upon to justify the bill's necessary.

Will it ever exist in the public consciousness as an example of sexist attitudes about men? No.

This is why I call bullshit to anybody who claims arguments over who is or isn't the most oppressed or privileged have any use or relevance.

I refuse to believe it will ever be possible unbiasly look at both genders long enough to make that call, and all it does is distract us from tackling the issues head on.

Who cares if misandry is "systemic enough" to meet your stupid fucking bar to "Exist" or "Be a real thing™"! Misandry just got Medicaid cut for men AND women.

But hey at least you got to look down on some majorities for having privilege.

Okay I read survive last night so now I'm gonna give a list of updates:

I'm adopting Kenta as my 3rd son (well technically 2nd because Shiki SIL) and 6th child.

Gokuluck found family ftw.

I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE HARUKA PARALLELS (especially with kujo and sensei but Kenta's situation is definitely a lot worse).

More of a bonus update, but I really enjoyed Kenta's interaction with cozmez and them looking out for him (almost like a senpai-kouhai-type situation) since they do have similar backgrounds and personalities.

But also THAT CLIFFHANGER WAS ILLEGAL, though maybe that's because this season is the first time I have to listen to the story as it comes out.

One of our ethics readings was about proactive aggression, which in one form is when groups take pre-emptive or pre-meditated action to eliminate or subdue dangerous elements in the group (this can include people in the group that are more violent than the group norm or who are uncooperative).

It got me thinking about the JLA, and the events of Green Lantern: Rebirth. All the heroes have their own arcs, darker moments, their own strategies for combatting foes and their own moral and ethical lines. It's a little interesting to imagine the JLA, which essentially gives itself power and authority deciding which heroes of its own have stepped too far, especially considering the nature of some heroes being alien, android, godly, or reincarnated in some way. To what extent should the JLA have that kind of say over members, and how much of that say should be democratized among members who aren't core or founding?

The Philosophy of Collectivism

The philosophy of collectivism is a worldview that emphasizes the importance of groups, communities, or societies over individual interests. It holds that the well-being and goals of the collective should take precedence over the desires and rights of individual members. Collectivism is often contrasted with individualism, which prioritizes individual autonomy and personal freedom.

Key Aspects of the Philosophy of Collectivism:

Primacy of the Group:

Social Unity: Collectivism stresses the importance of social cohesion and unity, arguing that individuals are inherently connected to their communities and that their identities and purposes are largely shaped by their social relationships.

Shared Goals: In collectivist thought, the goals of the group, whether a family, community, nation, or humanity as a whole, are prioritized over personal ambitions. The success of the group is seen as a reflection of individual success.

Moral and Ethical Foundations:

Altruism and Cooperation: Collectivism often promotes altruism, the idea that individuals should act in ways that benefit others, sometimes at the expense of their own interests. Cooperation and mutual support are considered essential for the well-being of the group.

Responsibility to Others: Ethical collectivism holds that individuals have a moral duty to contribute to the common good and to support the welfare of others in their community or society.

Political and Economic Implications:

Socialism and Communism: Collectivist philosophies are often associated with political and economic systems like socialism and communism, where resources and power are distributed in ways intended to benefit the collective rather than individuals. These systems advocate for collective ownership or control of the means of production and seek to reduce inequality.

Welfare State: In more moderate forms, collectivism can be reflected in the welfare state, where the government plays a significant role in ensuring social security, healthcare, education, and other public goods, based on the principle that society as a whole is responsible for the well-being of its members.

Cultural and Social Dimensions:

Cultural Collectivism: In some cultures, collectivism is deeply ingrained in social norms and values. For example, many Asian, African, and indigenous cultures emphasize family, community, and collective responsibility over individualism.

Collective Identity: Individuals in collectivist cultures often see themselves as part of a larger whole and may prioritize group harmony and consensus over personal expression or dissent.

Critiques and Challenges:

Loss of Individual Freedom: Critics of collectivism argue that it can lead to the suppression of individual rights and freedoms, as the needs of the collective may override personal liberties. This can result in authoritarianism or the erosion of personal autonomy.

Homogenization and Conformity: Another critique is that collectivism can encourage conformity and discourage diversity and innovation, as individuals might feel pressured to align with group norms and expectations.

Philosophical Justifications:

Communitarianism: Communitarianism is a philosophical approach that emphasizes the value of community in shaping individuals' identities and values, and it often supports collectivist principles by arguing that individuals are best understood in the context of their social relationships.

Ethical Theories: Ethical theories like utilitarianism can support collectivism to the extent that they promote the greatest good for the greatest number, which may require individuals to sacrifice their interests for the benefit of the collective.

Historical and Contemporary Examples:

Traditional Societies: Many traditional societies operate on collectivist principles, with strong emphasis on family ties, communal land ownership, and collective decision-making.

Modern Collectivist Movements: Modern movements advocating for environmental sustainability, social justice, or economic equality often embody collectivist principles by focusing on the well-being of the broader community or the planet.

The philosophy of collectivism offers a perspective that values the interconnectedness of individuals and the importance of collective well-being. While it provides a framework for fostering social unity, cooperation, and shared responsibility, it also raises important questions about the balance between individual rights and collective interests, and how best to achieve social harmony without sacrificing personal freedom.

wild how often people on here are like “western countries have huge issues with racism” yes that’s true “this needs to be addressed and rectified” 100% absolutely “the solution is to segregate all ethnicities and to create ethnostates for racial minorities” absolutely what are you fucking talking about. fascism for minorities is still fascism. “clearly the races cannot peacefully intermingle and only through carefully curated states for every group can peace be obtained” you’re literally spewing fascist talking points you absolute clown

in case you need another reason to drop unity like a moldy hot potato

"Developers of indie puzzle game Orgynizer have claimed that Unity said organisations like Planned Parenthood are 'not valid charities' and are instead 'political groups.'"

So for the past couples days (and weeks) I've been struggling to do my tasks without doing something else at the same time (e.g. listening/watching a video or podcast, playing a game etc. (music doesn't tend to work in these situations)). Who knew that cozmez was the answer.
