@gleocbc A 4-point "is this a big story"? A reflexive follow up on the complications of said journalist's (and CBC's) participation in ongoing settler colonialism while pursuing this story please. There is no such thing as neutral.
If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control
@PhilipDeslippe @agleig You probably didn't get to catch @jens_augspurger 's presentation at the krakow conference since it would have been wee hours for you, but it was a brilliant and humorous poke at remarkable over confident medical claims about yoga
@mike_dillaha @griddr@ohJuliatweets And capitalists, but nature of capitalist ideology, have no duty of care to anything or anyone but stakeholders. 2/
@mike_dillaha @griddr@ohJuliatweets One important difference is the people can participate in government processes (admittedly I'm simplifying here) i.e.,voting members of the state in and out, running for office, engaging in legislative process..... we have little power to confront capitalists 1/
@ApolloWiki@griddr@ohJuliatweets Calling for more capitalism to solve poverty and an unhoused epidemic is like calling for more guns to solve gun crimes. If you are interested I'd be happy to share some resources I've found informative.
@ApolloWiki@griddr@ohJuliatweets its hard to know on twitter if people are genuinely inquiring, but I'll assume here you are.... neoliberal capitalism has been demonstrably failing for decades. It is the very ideology which has created the current housing crisis. 1/
@EtrnlWanderer@RogueNebula@DrProudman Are you talking about AH or JD?... if AH, what personal enrichment? She received less than she was entitled to in her divorce, and building a career by making a misconduct allegation has not only never been lucrative, but is invariably dangerous. Motive is lacking... for AH
@NBedera I-got-mine-ism is uniquely relentless in yoga communities where the abuser was also a beloved 'guru' or spiritual teacher. "He couldn't have abused.... he is a divine channel"....
@agleig I kind of want to see a forensic accounting of how people get there. Not saying folks who stay committed are wrong, more that my math comes out remarkably different and I'd love a comparative analysis
@agleig Walking away from a tradition is not for everyone (although its where I currently am at) but, I keep looking for the grappling yet rarely find it. Somehow critique usually ends with yogas redemption
