The Venn diagram of those who follow gurus online or in the media who practice different things without license & proper training, and those who vote for populists with personality cults is two completely overlapped circles. Reason & competence are trumped by the need to have your beliefs confirmed.

Every single time an investigation shows vulnerable people were abused by someone with power or privilege, an entire army of trolls and bots get activated to demonise dehumanise the vulnerable and to present the privileged in a good light. This is likely the doing of PR, but it should be illegal.

Vem är det som vill att det inte går att skydda sig? För skydd finns ju. Gratis vaccin, luftrening, andningskydd i vård och på publika platser. Det är inte en vild gissning att frånvaro från jobbet kostar samhället mer än vaccin, luftrening och andningsskydd åt alla. bsky.app/profile/smar...

Tusentals funktionsnedsatta människor i Sverige saknar möjlighet att skaffa sig en giltig legitimation. Utan bankid, utan id ingen vård, medicin, mat..ja ni fattar. Men om jag får nya hjul till min rullstol eller ny rullstol och färdtjänst då kan jag ordna leg. www.aftonbladet.se/debatt/a/739...

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments: One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

If you post on Facebook about how corrupt & abusive the justice system is in Romania (it is very corrupt, the Romanian state is captive to a corrupt justice system), your posts are going to be marked as "sexual illegal content" or "self-harm" and are restricted. Romanians use FB for news & politics.

I wonder what will become of the big social media that is now owned by oligarchs? Because for many people that is the social media they use and they refuse alternatives. These days, posts criticising political abuse of power are sometimes declared as unwanted sexual content or self-harm on Meta. 🤦‍♀️

You can really smell their desperation that they might lose access to a chunk of vulnerable population they purposefully or ignorantly misdiagnosed, and whose misdiagnosis as psychological made money for these practitioners.

These complex illnesses are often more prevalent in women and you can see the waft of the pseudoscience of hysteria in what these physicians claim. Imagine if they did not bring up sexual abuse as a reason for disbelieving women's complex physical illness. Because of course they did.

Some in mental health are really bending backwards to dig up myths and pseudoscience to discredit complex physical illness and to claim it is, actually, psychological.

#StopFemicidesInRomania Romania has more than 1 femicide/week and most murders by husband/partner are still not registered as femicides. All these publicised cases were of women who asked for police protection. Police ignored them or fined their parents. I need you help in making this issue visible.

En brittisk analys av 90 000 inlägg om politik visar att X algoritmer systematiskt förstärker högerinriktat innehåll. Över hälften av inläggen kom från konton med hatiskt och extremt språk, där högerextremism utgjorde 72% av innehållet news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

It is starting to sadden and worry me when I see people on the left and entire social-democratic parties wanting to ditch progressivism from their broader description to attract far-right voters. Apparently progressivism, which includes women's rights, disability and LGBTQ+ rights, is "triggering".🤦‍♀️

There are some pages on social media acting like bait & switch that claim to be pages about feminism while promoting conspiracy theorists, TERF, "conservative feminism" (which is an oxymoron). Some of their "models of feminism" include Naomi Wolf, the conspiracy theorist, and some MAGA women.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

The New York Times decided to go full MAGA and to publish an opinion piece that blames women who want their rights to be respected at their workplace as "destroying the workplace atmosphere," and the authors solution to that is ... "conservative feminism." 🥴 "Conservative feminism" is an oxymoron.

PostNord App is a sort of gaslighting machine. Both my partner and I have this experience with this stubborn app that treats packages left at the post office as if they are at a paketbox, and vice-versa. So picking up packages is a nightmare. On newer Android phones, this app is a glitchy mess.

This clip from 2018 perfectly captures just how passionate @davetuller1.bsky.social is and how shocked he was by the way the PACE trial was defended. His crowd funding has just 1 day to go and he’s ~$10k from his target. I’ve just donated again so he can carry on doing his important work

There are more and more blogs and social media pages scaring people blue that we have now "epidemics" of various diseases that were severely underdiagnosed in the past, and guess if they do not spread conspiracy theories & chemophobia. More education & better access doesn't mean "epidemics."

The extensive dehumanisation of vulnerable people that has taken wings since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic ("only the old and the vulnerable"), together with politicians who consider disabled people as a burden encourage such heinous acts like these 👇 www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/al...

Romania has a rather weird history of shuffling between the far-right and the far-left and a blend of the two. The communist regime recruited convicted legionnaires (local nazis) for propaganda and brutality. And after 1989, some members of the Communist Party rebranded as neo-legionnaires.

"Global cases of COVID-19 increased by more than 19,000 last month compared with the previous month, according to the World Health Organization. But the true number of infections is probably much higher, say researchers, because surveillance of the virus has dropped" www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A bunch of Romanian intellectuals who dabble in neoliberalism and in ultraconservatism who are now very bummed Trump is too overtly fascist and cannot say they like him anymore are complaining from a country with universal health care how Mamdani is a communist for wanting free health care for kids.

Tre av tio undersköterskor har alltid för mycket att göra på jobbet. Lärare och fritidspersonal är nästan lika utsatta, visar en ny rapport från Arbetsmiljöverket. Nu kräver myndigheten att välfärdens arbetsgivare agerar – annars riskerar problemen att förvärras.

Well, now, look what arrived in the post... Delighted to share that my new book on psychology and the culture wars has now been published. Writing it was a long, at times depressing, but ultimately satisfying journey for me. I hope you like it Deets here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Grej här. Utöver att det är vedervärdigt. Den som tror att de här sakerna stannar så fort det inte är invandrare det handlar om har fel. De här idéerna om hur vissa grupper ska tuktas kommer spilla över.

The Orthodox Church is giving more and more signs it wants to enshrine its fundamentalism in public life and politics. In Romania, they literally control elections. They are also full of neo-fascists praising old fascists. A choir of children just sang the elogy of fascists recently in a cathedral.

From time to time, some douche who has made it in tech and AI comes with jailable ideas about women having to give birth to children during their teenage years, "as it was intended", the pedophile says. 🤮 It has never been "intended" so, periods used to come much later, at ~16-17, in the past.
