Afghanistan in the 1970s. Once the billionaires start funding the religious extremists to take away your rights it only goes one direction

Identity politics, and the concern silos that come with them, have failed. It’s my personal opinion that they were pushed as a means to divide us against each other over things that don’t threaten the profits of the capitalist class.

Fight for human rights.

Yes, human rights includes LGBT+ rights.

Yes, human rights includes women’s rights.

Human rights at work as well. Human rights to housing and Healthcare. No half measures, no negotiations.

We tried to negotiate with the 1% in the early 20th century. Much like negotiating peace with Putin, it was just a temporary cease fire while the 1% consolidated their power and let their propaganda networks soak the human mind.

I believe in free speech but I’m more concerned about freedom from religion than freedom of religion.

Democratic secular society is on a sharp decline all over the world.

Although you don’t like religion, it’s one of the dominos that fall in the line of authoritarian control. When it falls, other dominos fall with it.

If we are to (correctly) have freedom of religion, the working class must remain armed to put down the religious’ inevitable grasp at taking over the nation state.

These people are mentally ill, and work tirelessly to make their delusions your reality.

Edit: I’m not disagreeing with your details, I’m just simplifying.

Religion has been used for millennia as a mechanism for authoritarian control.

Like I said, I support free thought and speech. Be religious if you must buy into a cult of mass delusion. But true freedom means freedom from religious law in a secular and democratic society.

I would put literacy right in front because apparently there’s a disturbing amount of people who don’t know what words mean almost.

To understand anything, you need a sense of literacy.

It looks to me like it’s ordered from more progressive to more fundamental, so literacy should be the last one, really. Trans rights is the newest major one, so it’s the first to fall.

21% of American adults are illiterate (54% read below a 6th grade level)

17% of Canadian adults are illiterate.

I keep coming back to these points as it’s important context when understanding the news.

Because there are still a lot of old folks around from when education was… not so well enforced

That’s… horrifying. I had no idea it was that high. I have to wonder how anyone can be illiterate, after watching my kids learn to read, and how little effort it took (on my part I mean, they were putting effort into it, because they wanted to)

I should point out that a portion of the stat comes from immigrants who are fully literate in their native language.

National literacy as a topic forms an interesting picture that I don’t fully understand.
