Post No. 3,544 - From this week’s coming reading post on patriarchy/power structures, SA, and governance

The following is from this week’s coming reading post:

• “Thomas Jefferson Survives: The Cornell 7 and the Price of Great Men - YouTube”   https://youtu.be/y1kMOua-eXo   BUT ALSO   “A world without rape is possible.  In fact, it has already existed.”   https://substack.com/@smallthingsgrowing/note/c-351130505   AND ALSO   “The ‘Cornell 7’ reported rape shows why we need to rethink sexual violence prevention”   https://theconversation.com/the-cornell-7-reported-rape-shows-why-we-need-to-rethink-sexual-violence-prevention-293338   “In our newly published research, we argue sexual violence prevention needs to pay much more attention to strengths-based protective factors.   Risk-based prevention asks what is going wrong and how we can stop it. A strengths-based approach also asks what needs to be present for people to be safe, connected and happy.   Instead of only preventing harm, it aims to build the conditions that make harm less possible in the first place.”   AND ALSO NOTE   “Woman in Cornell rape allegations case targeted with threats, her lawyer says”   https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/04/cornell-jane-doe-rape-allegations   “Attorney says people have threatened to silence or harm ‘Jane Doe’ if she does not withdraw civil lawsuit”   

• “The Billionaires See the Revolt Coming. Can They Buy Their Way Out Again?”   https://hartmannreport.com/p/the-billionaires-see-the-revolt-coming-9ca   “A worldwide backlash against oligarchy is gathering force, while America’s richest pour fortunes into keeping voters angry at everyone but them ...”   “Forty-five years of “conservative” neoliberalism and austerity — all specifically designed to make the rich richer at the expense of working class people — have left average citizens furious.   And that fury is driving two parallel movements” One understands that the rich are the problem; the other have been distracted into punching down at easy targets because they - and their parents - haven’t been taught critical thinking and emotional intelligence by society’s turn-out-subservient-cogs-for-the-rich education systems.   “Then working class people and progressives got complacent, thinking this would be the new normal forever, with a single paycheck being the entrée into the middle class. The oligarchs, however, were just getting started   ...   There’s no way this one single election will settle all this. During the first Gilded Age, it took 45 years to go from the Sherman Act to Social Security — with quite a few lost elections along the way —and the people who won that fight went through it never knowing if they’d prevail or not; the biggest intervention was probably the Republican Great Depression.”   And this fight might also take 45 years ... There are a lot of excellent, specific examples in this article.   BUT ALSO   “Disability Renaissance: The D.C. Post-Mortem”   https://disabilitycommunityfordemocracy.substack.com/p/disability-renaissance-the-dc-post   “Why we must stop performing for empty buildings and build the infrastructure to save ourselves through the Curtis-Wilson Act.”   I have a feeling Tad Stoermer would be pleased by this OUTSTANDING adaptation   

• “FFS stop punishing households and just tax gas”   https://substack.com/home/post/p-218273604   AND ALSO   “Australia’s  Slide Into Barbarism”   https://substack.com/@timcollier679911/note/c-351511126   AND ALSO   “The public housing answer Australia already knows”   https://michaelwest.com.au/the-public-housing-answer-australia-already-knows/   “After the war, one new home in seven in this country was public housing, built under a Labor prime minister and kept going by a Liberal one, and they went to fitters, clerks and returned servicemen, not charity cases.   The OECD average today is 6 to 7% of homes. In Britain it is 16% even after Thatcher sold the council houses; the Netherlands is above 30%; Australia sits at 4% with the Americans and Canadians.”   

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlightopossible flaws / issues youoshouldoconsider: 

• there mayobe flawedologicaloarguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ freeoonline course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinkingocaps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generallyoneed to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgenderingois an act of activeotransphobia/transmisiaothat puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptoroto prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).

Post No. 3,543 - Some random thoughts

Because so many weak-willed, amathiac, emotionally incompetent people have ALLOWED themselves to be scammed, the world is in a mess that it will not recover properly from - there will be a new normal for millennia because of the climate crisis, and many authoritarian governments because those weak-willed, amathiac, emotionally incompetent people have ALLOWED themselves to be perverted into becoming bad faith actors - agents of hate, suspicion, paranoia, and me-me-me. 

That is where we are now - and the re-election of the orange horror a second time, with active enablement from the bothsideism plagued, corporate captured "media" of TurtleoIsland and non-existent resistance from the corporate captured, weak-willed, amathiac, emotionally incompetent US Democrats which ALLOWED  Projecto2025 to be enacted to near completion has been the key. 

Am I being too harsh? 

Yes - absolutely, but (a) I am not far off the truth here, (b) I need a rant for the sake of my wellbeing, and (c) the people I am writing about need some shock therapy. 

Quite a a few of those people on TurtleoIsland (not here in Australia as yet - we’re at an early stage and have to go through a worse hell before we wake up) are now having buyer’s regret. That might help resolve the current crisis, but it means - UNLESS THEY CHANGE (develop critical thinking and emotional competence) they will be manipulated during the next similar crisis, and we will have to go through all this again! 

So ... I want everyone in the world to read Tad Stoermer’s book “A Resistance history of the United States” (pub. Steerforth Press [an imprint of Pushkin Press], West Lebanon [NH], 2026, ISBN 9781586424374; Pushkin, Kobo, Penguin Random House, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Amazon), and then start applying it.  

I want everyone to: 

combine 

generous, caring community-based living 

with 

DEI, human rights, and inclusion (communities can be places of hate and exclusion ... and cults) 

and 

being mature adults about NOT being reliant on others, so that they are not choosing to live a lifestyle that is vulnerable (this is generally done out of outdated conceptions around intimate/romantic relationships). 

I have seen that last point destroy quite a few relationships, and make aid attempts impossible to fulfil - some of that in my personal life. 

Go back to Tad Stoermer’s book, and understand that 

EVERY 

SINGLE 

THING 

YOU 

DO 

IN 

YOUR 

LIFE IS 

EITHER 

RESISTANCE 

OR 

COMPLIANCE  

and then rethink how you are living - in particular, note the lessons as described by Tad Stoermer shown by Ona Judge’s life, and then determine to do better.
