The point there is that oppressed identities don't just stack, each combination is its own thing with specific societal ideas attached, or sometimes a weird combination of sub-things.<br /><br />So a black gay woman doesn't experience the oppression of black + gay + woman but "black gay woman" and possibly black + black woman + black gay + gay woman as well.Wolfboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780236011500530931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492416157906040143.post-34302603492655345872016-09-24T12:48:55.072+12:002016-09-24T12:48:55.072+12:00A particularly useful framework for privilege that...A particularly useful framework for privilege that I've come across is that it's something that's given to you by society, rather than something that's intrinsic (which you use a variant of here). It helps explain complexities such as why lighter-skinned POC tend to be privileged over darker skinned POC from the same culture, and why "non-passing" trans men (ie. not viewed as men by most) tend to not be afforded male privilege as much as "passing" ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492416157906040143.post-51856693807813616012016-09-22T22:01:38.281+12:002016-09-22T22:01:38.281+12:00I enjoyed this article immensely.

Dead bodies are hard to handwave away. That's why the homicide rate is usually used as a proxy for the violent crime rate in historical studies. And I'm afraid the homicide rate really was lower in the 1950s than today, and really did rocket up in the 1960s and '70s. (After which it plateaued in the '80s and '90s and is now coming down again.) But in more general terms you are correct: the overall trend for all kinds of violence is downward, and you hear more about it these days because the trend for <em>acceptance</em> of violence is running downward ahead of it.Daniel Copelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05944461326199566111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492416157906040143.post-16518436320598091592015-04-29T15:38:36.462+12:002015-04-29T15:38:36.462+12:00Thank you Anon.

I do think you could make an argument that religious ideas can adapt to their host societies (it's impossible to claim that modern Catholicism is identical to the Catholicism that began in Rome, for example) and that tribalism is one of the things that slows that adaptation. Fred Clark argues (pretty convincingly, I think) that the primary thing pushing American Evangelism further and further out of touch with modern US social mores is a tribalistic attempt to hold onto a very specific hermeneutic that was specifically invented to provide a "biblical" justification for slavery.<br /><br />I guess what I'm trying to say is that the longevity of religious movements when they're terrible certainly intensifies their terribleness, but that I don't think the terribleness and the longevity are connected. There are intensely terrible religious sects who haven't lasted all that long, and fairly un-terrible ones who've been around for centuries.Wolfboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780236011500530931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492416157906040143.post-8173156779742303652014-12-24T11:51:32.221+13:002014-12-24T11:51:32.221+13:00I do point out, in that religion post, that religi...I do point out, in that religion post, that religious movements typically last about ten times as long as similar movements (Utopian communes, 20 years vs 2 years; repressive regimes, centuries vs decades) founded with secular motives.

Also he makes another series called "Bravest Warriors" which is similar in tone but slightly more grownup and sci-fi instead of fantasy in its genre-DNA, and that's a free web series he's put on YouTube his ownself.Wolfboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780236011500530931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492416157906040143.post-91488299817181040452014-09-12T09:38:49.918+12:002014-09-12T09:38:49.918+12:00I imagine that's because they review some pret...I imagine that's because they review some pretty exploitation-y movies from time to time.

The assumption that all individuals respond the same to all substances is hugely inaccurate. Furthermore, if you simply ban the altered state its self (which is what is required to preban drugs), you are also banning endogenous compounds as well as neuron states or other chemical aspects of consciousness such as cellular Calcium flux. How can a prohibitionist policy banning Dimethyltryptamine be philosophically consistent if that exact chemical is produced endogenously (to make it a little easier to understand)? Accepting endogenous DMT as legal simply produces a procedural prohibition since it is obviously "OK" if it exists by one route but not another. Can we say religion?brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06132438532341848915noreply@blogger.com
