RE: megathreads

why do people like mega threads? what is the benefit?

I've come across them on various different communities, in different platforms and formats over the years. I try to get into them but idk

It kinda seems that megathreads basically function like microblogging.

I personally enjoy the structured format of having subject lines, (optional) image, (optional) url, and body

And is it a joke to specify this as the "new" mega thread? It's always new.

change my mind.

This sums it up: Henry Morgentaler - The Lancet

Physician and proponent of the Canadian abortion rights movement. Born in Lodz, Poland, on March 19, 1923, he died on May 29, 2013, in Toronto, Canada, aged 90 years.

He was acclaimed as a Canadian hero, a champion of the women's rights movement, and in 2008 awarded the Order of Canada, one of the nation's highest honours. Yet when Henry Morgentaler died there were few words of praise from the country's ruling elite and the location of his funeral was kept a secret for fear it would draw anti-abortion protesters. Even in death Morgentaler, the man who did more than any other to change Canada's restrictive abortion law, was a divisive figure.

Morgentaler did his first abortion in 1968—on the 18-year-old daughter of a friend—when the deed was punishable by life imprisonment. “I decided to break the law to provide a necessary medical service because women were dying at the hands of butchers and incompetent quacks, and there was no one there to help them. The law was barbarous, cruel and unjust”, he said. Over the next two decades Morgentaler opened a chain of clinics across Canada, trained scores of doctors, and performed thousands more terminations himself. He was assaulted and imprisoned, attacked, one clinic was firebombed, and he took to wearing a bulletproof vest. But in 1988 he won a historic victory when the Supreme Court of Canada removed all legal restrictions on abortion, which led to the spread of abortion clinics nationwide.

A Holocaust survivor, Morgentaler said his imprisonment by the Nazis in the Auschwitz and Dachau concentration camps honed his sense of injustice and prepared him for the battles ahead. But he caused anger and frustration among some of his supporters with his imperious and authoritarian style. “He was not a team player”, said Catherine Dunphy, author of the book Morgentaler: A Difficult Hero. Yet his supporters said that without him, they would never have achieved what they did.

The son of Jewish socialists, Morgentaler spent much of World War 2 in Poland's Lodz ghetto with his mother, brother, and sister. His sister died there. His father, a textile worker and union organiser, had been killed by the Gestapo when the Nazis invaded in 1939. He was sent to Auschwitz with his mother and brother in 1944 where his mother was executed. After liberation in 1945 he studied medicine in Germany and Belgium before moving to Canada in 1950, where he completed his medical training at the University of Montreal. He settled down as a general practitioner in a working-class district of the city where he remained for the next 15 years. He had married his childhood sweetheart, Chava Rosenfarb, in 1949, and they had two children.

But Morgentaler was not satisfied with a quiet life; he joined humanist groups and in 1967 addressed a parliamentary group calling for safe, unrestricted abortion. That changed everything. Afterwards he was swamped with requests for terminations which he initially refused until his feelings of cowardice and hypocrisy overcame him. By then he was already in his mid-40s and for the next 20 years he battled the Canadian authorities and was rarely out of the headlines. Judy Rebick, the feminist campaigner and author who became spokesperson for his Toronto clinic from its opening in 1982, said he had not looked for the cause—it had found him. “He was challenged by women who wanted help. It was pretty rare for someone in their 50s to confront the law and risk everything. Especially a doctor living a comfortable life. His willingness to risk everything inspired a lot of people”, Rebick said.

Morgentaler himself believed abortion would reduce crime. “Well-loved children grow into adults who do not build concentration camps, do notremoved and do not murder”, he said in 2005, on being awarded an honorary degree by the University of Western Ontario. The award cost the university a bequest of CAN$2 million, withdrawn as a result. Despite being a diminutive figure, Morgentaler had an imposing, charismatic personality. After divorcing Chava Rosenfarb he married Carmen Wernli in 1979, by whom he had a son before a second divorce. Later he married Arlene Leibovich and had another son. She and his four children survive him. A few months before his death a group of friends and supporters gathered at his Toronto home to mark the 25th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision. Christopher DiCarlo, a family friend who spoke at the celebration, said: “Henry stood his ground and succeeded where so many refused to go.”

Well it was a nice article until the first sentence of the last paragraph. But I am deciding to keep this piece in the interest of honesty.

Someone is going to have to step up to be Dr. Morgentaler

On October 17, 1967, he presented a brief on behalf of the Humanist Association of Canada before a House of Commons Health and Welfare Committee that was investigating the issue of illegal abortion. Morgentaler stated that women should have the right to safe abortion. The reaction to his public testimony surprised him: he began to receive calls from women who wanted abortions. Robert Malcolm Campbell and Leslie Alexander Pal wrote, "Henry Morgentaler experienced the [abortion] law's limitations directly in the supplications of desperate women who visited his Montreal office." Morgentaler's initial response was to refuse:

"I hadn't expected the avalanche of requests and didn't realize the magnitude of the problem in immediate, human terms. I answered, 'I sympathize with you. I know your problem, but the law won't let me help you. If I do help you, I'll go to jail, I lose my practice—I have a wife and two children. I'm sorry, but I just can't!'"

For a time he was able to refer the women to two other doctors who did abortions, but they became unavailable. There was no one to whom he could send them, and some of them were ending up in the emergency department after amateur abortions. He has said that he felt like a coward for sending them away and that he was shirking his responsibility. Eventually, in spite of the risks to himself—loss of career, a prison term for years or for life—he decided to perform abortions and, at the same time, challenge the law. ...

He knew that he could prevent those unnecessary deaths, so he determined to use civil disobedience to change the law.

In 1968, Morgentaler gave up his family practice and began performing abortions in his private clinic. He devoted his clinic to performing abortions on women as well as providing birth control and contraceptives, though it was illegal at the time.

Read the rest of the article to learn about how as a child in Poland he was incarcerated in nazi concentration camps for being jewish. Then as an adult in Quebec, incarcerated for performing abortions.

this lady was on the street handing papers to people. I could tell it was some jesus shit due to the accessories so walked by quickly, suppressing my urge to debate her. but then in the corner of my eye I noticed it was a small horizontally-oriented comic. I had to turn on my heel and walk it back a couple steps.

"is that a jack chick??!"

"sure is"

"oh sweet, I looove those!"

she handed it to me on impulse though I think after 1-2 seconds of taking in my general vibe she understood I was only mocking her. Her expression changed as I took the thing from her. The godly document barely singed my heathen fingers.

I couldn't wait to start reading to see if it would be about some friends of mine like OP

but it was one of the new ones, lacking the (limited) creativity and empathy demonstrated in the above. It sucked.

I mean there is a reason why Israel hates the UN. Because as much as it would be to their benefit to adhere to the US line, they can't help themselves but to appoint people like this. For all it'll do. One big puzzle for me is why this isn't a more concerning aspect for libs. Shouldn't this be their problem?

I didn't actually bring myself to read the report yet. I only opened it and zoomed out. Look at the footnotes (purple) vs text ratio in the report: it is allllll citations. The mark of a writer who knows they will not be believed when asserting the sky is blue.

I'm surprised at her pep. I felt tired on her behalf watching.

I only notice at the end she is wearing a gray and black kufiyyeh.

hmmm interesting. If I understand the story, bin Mahram Kufi had a camel renting business. al-Rashid would just show up and take whatever camels he required for his Hajj. Assuming he returned alive, he would then pay the market fee for the use of the camels. Therefor, bin Mahram Kufi was in the position of hoping for the healthy return of al-Rashid although (I infer) he was considered to be a bad dude between these friends. I guess, absent the hostage camels, they'd be hoping the whole party fell into a ditch and was never heard from again? Is there some value in preventing a bad dude going on Hajj? I'm of the impression that every Muslim goes on Hajj and I've never heard of anyone being barred from it.

In he rest of the story, included in the link, bin Mahram Kufi responded to this by ditching all his camels. He ?pretended to be too old to run a camel business. But al-Rashid saw through the pretense and knew he was under the influence of the bleeding heart lib Ibn Ja’far. And says that if they weren't such good buds he'd be in deep shit. the end

Obviously I am missing lots of context. I see how it is related. Especially when I search for Surah Hud 11:113 and found a slightly different translation

And do not be inclined to the wrongdoers or you will be touched by the Fire. For then you would have no protectors other than Allah, nor would you be helped.

I find the overall story to be a bit equivocal because it is only the prior relationship (of providing the camels) that saves bin Mahram Kufi. If indeed it saved him at all; narrative just stops. What ought he have done the first time al-Rashid requisitioned use of the camels?

But point taken anyway. Do not incline to the unjust.

[-] glans@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

there is an American asshole from I24 at one point. It gets a bit confrontational.

He tries to "force" her into admitting her point of view that Israel is and has always been an occupier. As though it would be some sort of get. Hello her title is "UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory"

auto subtitles of part of this interaction with light editing; please consult original video for accuracy

Mike wagenheim with I24 news (it's been a while since we've last spoken) a couple questions for you. in your report you have a line in here that says that since its establishment Israel has treated the occupied people as "a hated incumbrance and threat to be eradicated" and you go on uh listing other items


we'll leave aside the contextual and factual debate about that


based on that statement it seems to infer that you believe that Israel has been an occupier since the day of its birth is that your position you said since its establishment Israel has treated occupied people Etc are you inferring that Israel's been an occupier since 1948?

....

let me elaborate. Israel has taken, and we can I can concede that it has done it with with the recognition of the general assembly, from a human rights law point of view and as I take a people centered approach I cannot forget it the creation of the state of Israel has meant the dispossession of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians of who have been kicked out of their homes and never allowed to return.

it does make an occupier. it makes a state of Israel a state who has forcibly displaced significant part of the native population and this is the past that has never been addressed


the guy looks like a fool, honestly it isn't upsetting for what he says so much as he has the smug look on his face like a conspiracy nut observing "sheeple"

Summary

In the present report, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, Francesca Albanese, examines the unfolding horrors in the occupied Palestinian territory. While the wholesale destruction of Gaza continues unabated, other parts of the land have not been spared. The violence that Israel has unleashed against the Palestinians post-7 October is not happening in a vacuum, but is part of a long-term intentional, systematic, State- organized forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians. This trajectory risks causing irreparable prejudice to the very existence of the Palestinian people in Palestine. Member States must intervene now to prevent new atrocities that will further scar human history.

If the above isn't heinous enough, there are 576 documents in UN Human Rights tagged #Palestine

Loops, meanwhile, was developed by Daniel Supernault, who also created the federated Instagram rival Pixelfed. In fact, Loops will run under the Pixelfed project, according to an FAQ on its website.

In addition to the eventual benefit of being open source and distributed, Loops claims it will not sell or provide user data to third-party advertisers, use your content to train AI models, or gain the rights to any content uploaded on its service. Instead, users only grant Loops permission to use their content, but will retain full ownership of their contributions, the Loops website explains.

... Aimed at users 13 and up, Loops will allow you to follow other users, as well as like, comment on, or share their videos. But as a part of the federated web — the open social web running on ActivityPub — remote users from other platforms like Mastodon and Pixelfed will also be able to follow users’ Loops accounts and then view the videos in their home feed on those respective platforms.

Stumbled on this reddit thread that answered a question I'd had myself but never actually looked into.

Looking for primary source on Lucy Parsons quote: “Let every dirty, lousy tramp arm himself with a revolver or a knife, and lay in wait on the steps of the palaces of the rich and stab or shoot the owners as they come out.” - r/Anarchism

Answer was found: Chicago Tribune - Thu, May 7, 1885 - Page 3

Citizoness [Lucy] Parsons, however, had a plan at once startling, unique and redolent with gore.

"Let every dirty, lousy tramp arm himself with a revolver or knife and lay in wait on the steps of the palaces of the rich and stab or shoot the owners as they come out. Let us kill them without mercy, and let it be a war of extermination and without pity. Let us devastate the avenues where the wealthy live as Sheridan devastated the beautiful valley of the Shenandoah."

Citizen [Albert] Parsons then read some resolutions of sympathy with the Lemont strikers denouncing the militia, etc., after which the conclave went into secret session for the transaction of private business. There were three women present last night.

(Side note: What a time when a socialist meeting of 50 people is reported upon in the Tribune.)

According to Utah Phillips she never got too old to issue this advice.

Class War UK used it for their second issue, published in 1984:

I posted this on /c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns but on further reflection that was possibly an error because it's a question about cis. Since I'm seeking ideas that would be relevant to a cis person it would be better to pose the question more widely. Trans people probably don't spend much time reading stuff describing why they are human and debunking arguments to the contrary so might not have such sources on the tip of the tongue.

The original thread has lots of good answers and I am mulling them over and following sources. So you should read them if you are interested.

Hope it's not ridiculous to x-post myself. :/

I don't know if any CW are required for this but if so suggest them and I will add. I'm not mentioning any particular hateful things; just the presence of them.


An old comrade of mine has fallen into the grips of anti trans bigotry.

It has been happening for 10+ years and I have raised the issue multiple times when we've been together or in touch. They downplayed their investment in the ideas.

Recently I have learned that it has crept into their mass organizing. This person is an excellent, committed, powerful organizer working for years at a local level.

I think they are now getting in to organizing explicitly on anti-trans grounds. They have capacity to be highly effective at this. But really it is the integration of anti-trans stuff into legitimate mass organizing work that is more dangerous. My understanding is that they are seeking to orient these orgs against the interests of trans people and to exclude trans people and even trans-allied people from organizing.

This person made many key political contributions to who I am. Much of the good I have done as an organizer is due to their influence on me. Without them I would have ended up the most insufferable kind of lib. On a personal level, it breaks my heart to see this has happened to a dear friend. I feel compelled to attempt to return the wisdom and patience they afforded me when I needed it, and offer them a better perspective, help them be a better organizer.

I plan to attempt intervention. We live far away from each other but do keep occasional contact. Less so over recent years just due to being on different social media platforms. I could get some correspondence and maybe a phone call to discuss this on the basis of our long standing relationship. I would offer to maintain the dialogue on going if they were willing.

  • general advice?
  • have you tried this and if so how did it go?
  • is there hope?
  • some kind of FAQ covering anti-trans misinformation; more in-depth and comprehensive would be better (for me to read)
  • writing/ideas aimed specifically at communists/socialists
  • theory to understand trans* from marxist/materialist perspective
    • I know this sounds stupid but they already have theory to hate trans*
  • This person is coming at it from a TERF (as in actual old school radical feminsm) perspective, not a right-wing/fash perspective
  • The idea of "bourgeois decadence" is important here. It's not something I ever found to be very compelling so I don't have much analysis to counter it.

Of course I have my own ideas and knowledge but I'm sure all of the above has been perfected so I want to make sure I have the best at top of mind.

This person is pretty stubborn, as required to be a lifelong revolutionary. So I know I'm not going to turn the ship around in one conversation. I am considering strategy of reformism or harm reduction. For example if I could convince them to avoid bringing these ideas into their organizing, even while still holding them privately, it would be a benefit.

  • It's not really efficient for every housing unit to have its own washing machine let alone dryer
    • some people can dry clothes on lines but some can't
  • Washing clothes by hand sucks
  • Laundromats suck
  • Industrialized clothes washing? I have no direct experience with this

And it needs so much water.

A while ago Knowledge Fight podcast had on Jon Ronson to talk about his latest podcast Things Fell Apart and it was a friendly discussion. But when I started to listen to it I was like what the fuck. It is some anti trans anti vax nonesense.

Ronson is well liked by a lot of libs due to his pretense of taking a fair and compassionate outside view of difficult to understand subjects and relationships. I dont personally find he is so great at it but this case is epic fail as the old ppl say.

Recently this other show, Where There's Woke has been doing a take-down series on it and I'm finding it fun. They do their own primary research to fact check statements made. Especially when Ronson claimed it was "impossible to know" etc.

It is currently eps 56-63 of WTW.

yo i am probably going to need a surgery and I noticed I was referred to a religious hospital by default and am not sure what to do about it. I haven't gone there yet. I don't know if I should just ignore that religiousness of it. I was kind of shocked to get a letter in the mail addressed to me with a big ol cross on the envelope.

how do you feel about hospitals (and other health care organizations) that have some tie to religion? I guess a lot of them used to be totally run by churches or whatever but have become somewhat secularized over time. now they get funding from taxes, non profits, insurance companies or whatever.

In my experience it is usually catholic with other christian denominations showing up and many major cities having at least one jewish hospital.

In terms of the anglosphere are there any other religions that have hospitals? I have never heard of a muslim, hindu or buddhist hospital in "the west" though these of course exist elsewhere. do they exist in the US? has anyone ever tried to start one?

In terms of your own (or your family's care)

  • do you judge them on their own merits?

  • Prefer/boycott them compared to others?

  • LGBTQ+++ people: do you trust them?

  • women: do you trust them? if you were choosing to carry a pregnancy would you have doubts about going to such a place when the time came?

  • religious people: do you trust the ones of other religions? or your own?

  • atheists: do you trust them?

  • indigenous people: do you trust them?

What kind of hiring practices do these places have? I remember hearing about Salvation Army being anti-queer in hiring. Are they generally allowed to discriminate in accordance of their religious bigotries?

Any other general political ideas too.

Is there any reason these places should be allowed to exist?

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The top United Nations court announced Friday that public hearings will open Dec. 2 in a landmark case seeking a non-binding advisory opinion on “the obligations of States in respect of climate change.”

The U.N. General Assembly sent the case to the International Court of Justice last year, with Secretary-General António Guterres saying at the time that he hoped the opinion would encourage nations “to take the bolder and stronger climate action that our world so desperately needs.”

The court said it had received written comments from 62 nations and organizations related to 91 written statements on the issue it had earlier received. Under the court’s rules, the written filings are confidential. The court can decide to make them public once the hearings open in early December.

The U.N, court’s panel of 15 judges from around the world will seek to answer two questions: What are countries obliged to do under international law to protect the climate and environment from human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and what are the legal consequences for governments where their acts of lack of action have significantly harmed the climate and environment?

Here is the ICJ page for the case: Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change
