I'd group "Men's Rights Activists" as disinGenderous, from the word disingenuous.
It means doing an act to be *observed* doing it ('Activism' to center anti-misogyny on men's feelings), not its expected intent (upholding Men's human Rights).

I use MRAs to mean anyone using misogyny to sell shit, not "ACTUALLY trying to improve life for men and masculine people". https://www.thecalmzone.net/our-story

e.g. The UK has a charity called Campaign Against Living Miserably focused on dudes' mental health. They're not MRAs.
Like 'scientology' could be useful to describe the meta analysis of how we apply scientific methods more broadly, -- like historiography --- but instead just means a SciFi writer's post-death ponzi scheme.

Well this time I decided to investigate the Manosphere. The cult mentality of Red Pill think, how they monetise it, the narrative they are selling to their followers, and how this can result in some young men being funnelled into the alt-right pipeline.

I looked into influencers like Fresh and Fit, Kevin Samuels, Rich Cooper, Anthony Dream Johnson of the 21 Convention, Donovan Sharpe, Roosh V, Owen Cook and Julien Blanc to weave together how they are selling the ‘alpha male’ dream to their followers - some of whom will end up classing themselves as incels, after realising that the ‘foolproof’ pickup artist game techniques don’t work for them.

And they’re all having their misogynistic ideas backed up by the one and only Jordan B Peterson, of course.

ok I finally got around to finishing it. I'm just including the whole damn description cuz why tf not. https://nebula.tv/videos/munecat-i-debunked-the-entire-manosphere/

not relevant to this but I just thought of what to group "Men's Rights Activists" as:
disingenderous.
(MRAs here being "anyone using misogyny to sell shit", not "people who are ACTUALLY trying to make life less shit for men and masculine people". https://www.thecalmzone.net/our-story

e.g. In the UK, Campaign Against Living Miserably is a mental health charity focused on dudes. I wouldn't count them as MRAs.
A bit like how 'scientology' as a word could have been useful to describe the meta analysis of how we apply scientific methods more broadly, like historiography for history, but instead just means a SF writer's post-death ponzi scheme.)

We have enough resources for everyone on the planet to have a good quality of life!
Including trans people, cis people, ALL disabled people, all currently abled people, and people in the foreseeable future.
Including YOU.

We just need the fix the distribution of and communication about our shared environment and resources.

hmm. What if we restricted all insurance companies to a non-profit model?

Or "yes save money / save for the future up to [whatever amount] per [whatever timeframe] with [whatever exceptions]"?

Anything above that, divert to researching and resolving health conditions or circumstances.
Allocate that surplus towards the conditions or situations proportionally, of which ones waste or limit the most healthy life years per capita.

" I have funny ideas about how to interpret the sentence "the average person does not exist".
Because it's true! Most of space and time is NOT human people!

But also hi. I might make a thing around the idea of a #MagicWandWishList . Uh. Let's see if hashtags work in youtube comments? I'm also on a mysterious Mastodon server that I think is cool.

Anyway: slow travel, no hierarchies of worth, sustainable development that doesn't harm residents or visitors, and disability accomodations by default. "

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6oUHaLCc_U

#MagicWandWishList

yes! yes! yes! yes!
burn! burn! burn! burn!
(but not like that!)

omfgggg. "Like a warzone" is NOT THE ONLY DESCRIPTOR of vast destruction.
See also:
Flames, ruins, devastation, "was not my intention", morass, chaos, demolition, haze, smoke, ash, plumes, mushroom cloud, phase change, surreal situation, otherworldly, unearthly, horrifying, expansive, choked, strangled, killed, murdered, levelled, razed, burned, ignited, peeled, resurfaced, forever changed, scarred the land, scarred the people, scarred the area, never the same, potential to rebuild but sustainably, or choose a new path, harrowing, haunting, unmistakeable, terrifying, awe-inflicting, demanding, etc.

But anyway.
How would you describe a generations-long international deception and crime against humanity now and in the future, and arguably our ancestors as well?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEISWQubf5Y

We also clearly need to ban all C Suite executives (and close family?) involved in the Tobacco industry's lies and later the Fossil Fuel industry's lies from ever holding such influence again, or being near people or positions who do.

#MagicWandWishList

anyway so post-capitalist world thoughts:

Slow travel! A combination of:
trams trains, busses, night trains, night busses,
night... trams?,
ferries, overnight ferries,
motorcycles, motorbikes, electric bicycles, electric scooters,
and ideally some helium (a different element from hydrogen) airships.

Or other airship designs! Idk, I'm not a damn engineer. Get on it, Scottie. And Welshie, and everyone elsey.

But then, we need to make land travel safer for all involved.
So not just passengers or tourists whizzing through, but:
People born there, moved there, living there, infrastructure staff, traders or merchants, longer visitors, and quicker visitors.

#MagicWandWishList

Kids don't ask to be born.
Not every parent asked to become a parent; not every parent retrospectively wanted children.
Not every parent who claims to love and respect their progeny acts in line with that assertion.

It's okay to not want kids. It's okay to not be physically and emotionally comfortable around kids.
It's okay to feel irritated with how some parents make being a parent their whole personality, or describe it as a sacrifice (it is in many ways), or act as if they should be rewarded for doing so.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IObIe0uMW4k

If you are a parent (by choice, I hope, for everyone's sake), then you are entitled to ALL support you need to sustainably raise a whole-ass human from scratch or from adoption or otherwise.
Caretaking is an art, a science, an act of selfless love, and an ideal of connection with other living beings.
Not everyone is or should feel compelled to perform caring tasks for others.
There is nothing wrong with saying "no".

Look, I don't even give a fuck which respiratory virus, bacteria, fungus, protozoa, yeast, or other pathogen (or particulate matter?) causes the next huge (immediately buried) public health crisis and indeed, crises plural.

Just wear a respirator, please. For others if not for yourself.
You do not want long covid.
You do not want an exhausting, nauseating, can't-breathe asthma attack.

You do not want to infect and disable or kill a member of your family. ... Do you?

You do not want to infect and disable or kill a friend, coworker, or a stranger on the bus. Do you?

Because that IS what will happen as you keep taking risks for yourself AND every single person around you who you subject to your decisions.

#MagicWandWishList

@Raccoon understimulated.
jazz up the environment with a rotation of toys (hide the inactive ones in closet or sommat).

reward good behaviour with attention.
'punish' (do not actually punish) 'bad' (unwanted) behaviour by ignoring it and the cat.

It loves you and seeks your attention.
Like a child, they lack easier communication methods to indicate unmet needs.

Resilience will probably remain an issue for any human-built, human-survived, human-serving set of systems.

Maintenance will include, at least:

1. Policy Repairs — fixing loop holes;

2. Regular Audits — no point trying to change anything if you don’t know what your current situation is;

3. Tech Prep — observing and predicting use patterns of emerging tech like gen AI, LLM, crypto, a new fad, etc;

4. Address Grievances — notice health disparities and act on them, not dragging your ass nor “move fast and break things”. People are not things to be broken.

#MagicWandWishList #VeRantDa

ACTUAL ‘self-defense’ * is:
1. Proactive mitigation,
2. Varied (!!) systems analysis,
3. Community decision-making, and
4. Anti-hierarchical conflict resolution.

It’s not easy, simple, or direct. Instead: it is sustainable, effective, adaptable, and fair. For once.

1. DON’T shoot the messenger.
(This assumes you accept that you can be wrong. You can. You will be wrong.)

2. ASK people unlike you to double-check.
(Accept them telling you "no". You are not entitled to their time or efforts.)

3. INVOLVE people affected in discussing options.
(Remember: you can be wrong. You will be wrong. That's part of why it's important to reduce potential harm in advance.)

4. No one is above anyone else. Ever.
(Especially if you think being described as having power over someone else is an insult. "Cis" is a goddamn descriptor, for fucks' sake. Get therapy and fuck right off.)

Yes: bureaucracy, overhaul, and buy-in from community leaders -- and whoever tells the CIA which anti-hierarchical countries to fuck with.
But maybe life would start being worth living for a lot more people??
Maybe we could eliminate subsistence crime? Maybe we could return people’s futures to them?

@mastodonmigration tbh I think the higher bandwidth limits being a paid feature makes sense tbh?

Most people on the planet do not have broadband available and affordable.

I WANT to be reminded to downscale image resolutions.

I DON’T want to slow down other people’s connections or eat up their mobile data just due to lack of friction on my device deciding to upload 4K whatever the fuck that no one’s screen can even display.

#MagicWandWishList

I’m using pro-social to mean “support yourself and other human beings” but also living creatures n shit.

No I’m not vegan or even vegetarian, though I do try to aim for plant-based and generally less processed food.
(but not raw milk because wtf?! I do not want Listeria or E. Coli, thank you.)

Big difference between
“I want people to not feel so isolated and unsupported that they consider offing themselves to escape (possibly very real) risks of further pain,”
and
“That weird kid would have more friends if they just e.g. dressed better and weren’t silent at the few parties they were invited to, etc”.
(Latter = I don’t want to think about anyone different from me, so I’m going to retrospectively justify my dismissal of their right to participate and self-determine.)

Any ideology based on inherently unequal worth is a death cult in the making. The only variation is how long it tortures people before biting down.

#MagicWandWishList

Btw, to paraphrase a great definition I found today of what being accountable means:
“Be able to answer for your actions and omissions.”
So if someone asks you why you chose something or to not act, then you would need to produce answers.

Those answers only have to satisfy you! Otherwise it’s up to the ethics committee how they would punish you (instead of the much better “have you [help] rectify the situation”).

(You can be accountable WHILE ALSO disagreeing with people whose opinion is that you made a mistake.
The point is to openly acknowledge your choices, actions, and reasoning.)

#MagicWandWishList

As living costs (excluding medical) tend to decrease over time as people inherit or are looked after by others, should individual income vary throughout life?
Including for people who may die suddenly, e.g. from distracted driving?

Either everyone is worthy of having their needs met OR they are not.

If there are other rewards to incentivise pro-social, sustainable behaviours,
Then we need to implement them.
If we can’t yet, then we need to create more favorable conditions to do so.

Until then, the dogshit I need to memorise from the Life in the UK Test is masturbatory bootlicker propaganda.

For fucks’ sake. I don’t want to presume to know better than trained economists, nor can I ignore bullshit assumptions.

What, precisely, is wrong with literally every person receiving the same amount of money?
(Maybe proportional up to like age 13 or something, then smaller incremental increases up to the adult rate.)

“It might not produce a functional society if a new engineering graduate and a senior engineering lead doing good work for years, in a high-stress job, were given the same amount of money.” (Summary, not exact words.)

Why? Is the job *necessarily* highly stressful?
Could the job not be split up or involve shared decision-making with shared accountability?

Does choosing to sacrifice your wellbeing make someone more “worthy” of a higher quality of life? Even if there are more effective options available?

yada yada
Universal Basic Income.

If not medical apprenticeships, then at least
higher-than-ACTUAL-living-wage bursary support whatever for
every single medical, nursing, HCA, clinician, etc student and trainee --
yes 'even' the part-time ones, how dare they try to do anything, ofc.

Throw in Universal Basic Services. Guaranteed jobs and infrastructure with lower carbon emissions per person, plus encourages
movement, exchange of ideas, foot and wheelchair traffic, social cohesion, and probably more.

Throw in good quality, maintained air filters, and you reduce risks of and during future pandemics.
Not to mention literally clean the air as you go, reducing the damage from diesel trains.

#MagicWandWishList #JustOneMoreLane #FixTraffic #WeCanFixTraffic #AirQuality #CleanAir

Still an awful and misanthropic act of institutional cruelty to let this shit go on.
I know doctors can't (yet) prescribe anything for Shit Life Syndrome -- nor, ideally, should they have to.

However, doctors (GPs or family practitioners, especially) *NEED* to be in an unhurried,research-reviewable position to let people speak in the most comfortable way possible.
Otherwise, crucial information and associations will continue to be missed.

How the fuck would ANYONE who isn't on speed reasonably be expected to complete a full medical education in the expected timeframe?

Even without living costs, household tasks, extracurriculars, and having any regular interactions with family and friends.

How is ANYONE supposed to achieve that without significant communal support, which is very, very not guaranteed?
I'm not saying you must be rich to afford doctor training, but it probably helps.
