Ableism Enables All Forms of Inequity and Hampers All Liberation Efforts. Ableism has been used for generations to degrade, oppress, control and disappear disabled and nondisabled people alike.

In this engaging interview, Talila A. Lewis argues that ableism has deep implications for every other marginalized identity. In short, ableism, according to Lewis, is at the root of other powerful hegemonic sites — from race and class to colonialism and nationality. In this way, they uncover the ways in which ableism insidiously operates across space and time. As an abolitionist community lawyer, educator and organizer, Lewis has focused on abolishing the medical-carceral-industrial complex and highlighting the inextricable links between ableism, racism, classism, and all other forms of oppression and violence.

I read:
'Democracy is a system in which parties lose elections.' So they should.
By #tomtanuki | 2 November 2024 published on #independentaustralia (dot)net, and I got fired up. Not so much by this particular article, but too many similar pieces read over the past year. I needed to rant for a while…

The thing about ‘internationalism’ is there are too many goddamn issues to care about. Getting over one’s obsession with whatever dreadful event is happening around the globe is dead easy since so many other inhumane actions can take it’s place. In the end, we are led by the nose by what we are told (from various outlets) and we rage against the loudest grievance. While I deplore the loss of life in the Middle East I will not be monopolised in this way. I fear as much as a third of the global population is suffering horrendous aggression and my heart goes out to them all, not selectively but to them all equally.

I funnel my ‘internationalist’ rage through the ballot box, conversations with friends and not-so-friends not by advocating for a particular national or ethnic community, but for all living things based on the turn of the conversation.

You are free, of course, to rage and fight on a very limited aspect of the human condition - that is your right. I just think that the scope is too narrow and tends to create zealots rather than change agents. Keepingour attent focused on the ‘news’ peddled by the msm, aided by social media, is playing into the hands of those responsible for aggressions perpetrated elsewhere, out of the limelight. The old saying: charity begins at home, is worth thinking about is its broader context. And when it comes to activism, combined with exemplar behaviour, we can ‘lead by example’ and change the world around us.

I’ll get off my soapbox now.
Thank you for reading this.
