Missionary feminism

 

开云体育



When people think of feminism, they often think of a single movement, a universal sisterhood committed to the understanding that if one woman is oppressed, all are oppressed. But feminism – in universalist mode – can help to oppress the very people it seeks to liberate. Feminist arguments in the West have been used to advance imperialist projects that inflict suffering on women in Iraq and Afghanistan. And the Western feminist focus on individual rights can be disastrous when played out in non-Western contexts. Is it time to rethink “missionary feminism”?

Genocide complaint to UN

 

开云体育



Begin forwarded message:


SOS Racism should send a genocide complaint to the UN:



Article II of the Genocide Convention contains a narrow definition of the crime of genocide, which includes two main elements:

'A mental element: the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such”'


The “ghetto plan” aims to destroy the culture of Muslim residents by forcing them to send their children to schools from the age of one years old, if they live in a designated “ghetto.” The explicit aim of this plan is the assimilation of that group into Danish culture, which is a Christian culture.

We know from the recent TV2 program, Experiment with our Children, that a child has received only 6 min. of adult contact in an entire day:



Et andet barn, der blev m?lt samme dag, er en tosproget dreng ved navn Artem.

Ud af dagens samlede optagelse med Artem p? syv timer og otte minutter fik i han i alt seks minutters udviklende voksenkontakt.


There has been comment by psychologists that such treatment can cause psychological problems. The government has refused to bring staffing up to the specified norms. Staffing shortages will be most exclusionary of minority children.?



"A physical element, which includes the following five acts, enumerated exhaustively:
? Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
? Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
? Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
? Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group”


We know that the discrimination experienced by Muslims causes both mental and physical problems. Plenty of data and also evidence that there is no adequate police response:




There is a migrant in Vollsmosa who can’t deal with the Danish system without the assistance of his next-door neighbor. He will not live long, if isolated. A women in Mjolner Parken is being force out of a flat her family has lived in for over twenty years. She has to go to the hospital twice weekly for dialysis. Now, it is a five minute trip, what happens to her when she is forced to move to a remote area and isolated from her community support? Any argument that these buildings must be sold/rebuilt is a total joke, when places like Tingberg and Bisbeparken have gotten architectural prizes. The objective is the destruction of these people as a group.


The starvation levels of monetary support provided to immigrants makes their physical destruction inevitable. We know that one measure of successful integration is that minorities have the same suicide rate as Danes.?


How can people have children, when they don’t even have enough money to exist on already?


The rate of child removal from families has doubled in recent times. This has more often effected immigrants/Muslims. If the kids must spend half of their days in schools, they have been effectively transferred to another group. The Danish People’s Party has proposed that people could be paid to keep their kids at home. Of course, this would only apply to people that had lived in Denmark for over twenty years, so immigrants would be excluded.?


The above is the narrow interpretation of the law. The public understanding is much more broad. That will determine the reputation of Denmark, when the complaint is filed.


Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

Approved and proposed for signature and ratification or accession by General Assembly resolution 260 A (III) of 9 December 1948 Entry into force: 12 January 1951, in accordance with article XIII

Article III
The following acts shall be punishable:

(a) Genocide;
(b) Conspiracy to commit genocide;
(c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide;
(d) Attempt to commit genocide;?
(e) Complicity in genocide.


Rasmus Paludan must be prosecuted by the Danish State under this Convention.?
He has directly and publicly incited people to commit genocide. He has stated that people with guns will be waiting outside of people’s residences to shoot them. He has advocated that all Muslims be sent out of Denmark.?

The Danish State has spent millions protecting him, which is evidence of complicity. If the state fails to initiate prosecution, that will be further evidence of complicity in genocide.?

Filing a case with the ECJ is necessary, if the government doesn’t act. It would be a way to ensure politicians start paying attention to this issue and taking it seriously.?



This should be supported:

The sense of political belonging formed by and essential to common struggle

 



Jodi Dean, author of Comrade, on the sense of political belonging formed by and essential to common struggle




When people say “comrade,” they change the world

In the twentieth century, millions of people across the globe addressed each other as “comrade.” Now, among the left, it’s more common to hear talk of “allies.” In Comrade, Jodi Dean insists that this shift exemplifies the key problem with the contemporary left: the substitution of political identity for a relationship of political belonging that must be built, sustained, and defended.

Dean offers a theory of the comrade. Comrades are equals on the same side of a political struggle. Voluntarily coming together in the struggle for justice, their relationship is characterized by discipline, joy, courage, and enthusiasm. Considering the egalitarianism of the comrade in light of differences of race and gender, Dean draws from an array of historical and literary examples such as Harry Haywood, C.L.R. James, Alexandra Kollontai, and Doris Lessing. She argues that if we are to be a left at all, we have to be comrades.

User information for the Augmented Conversation application

 

The Augmented Conversation application solves this problem:

Persons in face-to-face groups typically organize their conversation without centralized control. However, when group size increases, a chairperson is often selected in order to ensure that only one person speaks at a time. Formal management is more common in teleconferencing environments, because the back channel “body language” is reduced or absent. The problem we aim to solve is the loss of free discussion that typically occurs as groups increase in size or when they have remote members.

Our solution aims to maintain the natural flow of conversation even when discussion is electronically mediated and when members can't see each other. This requires automatically resolving conflicts over speaking order and isolation of users from environmental noise. Ideally, users wearing headphones will move smoothly from a face-to-face small group communication situation to one in which there are a large number of users that can't see each other.



The most groundbreaking things about the application:

The Stanford University experiments showed that teams working in the telecommunication settings made better decisions, enjoyed themselves more, experienced less frustration, and viewed their teams' decisions more favorably as compared to face-to-face groups. All previous research had found that teleconferencing yields either inferior performance or less satisfaction with meetings.

This solution is one element of a comprehensive meeting management framework. The solution ensures that meetings proceed in a mutually acceptable manner. That is, it makes sure that individuals do not speak out of turn or try to dominate a discussion. We plan to add a contractual element to the framework by using code for arranging meetings that was made open source at our request:



One reason for using this meeting arrangement software is to ensure that people agree in advance to structure the dialogue process with MyTurn - the conflict resolving system. Another is to ensure that noncooperative individuals - those tending to speak out of turn - will be identifiable prior to a potential meeting.



History and status:

A laboratory proven rule system for allocating turns to speakers yields superior emotional tone, better learning, and improved performance compared to standard facilitation methods. The experiments were performed at the University of California, Irvine and at Stanford University:

Report launch and discussion: WhatsApp Vigilantes: An exploration of citizen reception and circulation of WhatsApp misinformation linked to mob violence in India

with Anushi Agarwal, Nihal Passanha and Mukti Sadhana Pravin


17th October 2019, 18.00 – 19.30
Thai Theatre, New Academic Building (NAB), LSE

followed by a reception

This discussion, chaired by Dr. Omar Al-Ghazzi, invites responses to new research conducted on WhatsApp forwarding of misinformation and mob violence in India. The abuse of applications such as WhatsApp to spread fake news, misinformation and disinformation has had dangerous consequences for hundreds of vulnerable groups, and nowhere more so than in India. Hundreds of people in the last five years have been publicly lynched to death, leading to the phrase ‘WhatsApp Lynchings’. Since October 2018, Dr. Shakuntala Banaji and Ram Bhat have been working with field researchers in India conducting qualitative research in four large states, interacting with more than 275 people in focus group discussions, in-depth interviews and reviewing more than 1000 messages on WhatsApp to produce typologies both of Indian disinformation/misinformation and of the users most likely and least likely to forward these messages. The discussion will include a presentation of the findings, comments from our expert audience and responses.

Facilitation tool with automatic conflict resolution available.
Ensure a balance of participation in discussion, online or offline - or both.
See this summary:


Then connect to the demonstration site for use with a computer web browser (myturn.mobi). Google Chrome is a safe web browser choice. After playing around with it for a while - could just be two people in the same room on laptops - try the smartphone version (beta.myturn.mobi).

The setup requires you to enter your name - this should be remembered by the browser for the next time you use it. Then decide how long people will be allowed to make their point - no interruptions will be permitted during this time. If someone continues into a second period, the same amount of time is allowed. This turn-time is typically set for a few minutes, but a demo allowing only a few seconds can be used to illustrate the operation. Then enter the total time for discussion. Set this for longer than you expect to need, unless you actually want a hard deadline. Finally, select the topic for discussion, so people can be sure they are connecting to the right dialogue management group.

Vibration of your phone allows you to know that it is your turn, without looking at the phone. When it is your turn, you will get a buzz twice a second. If you are connected to an active discussion, you get a “heartbeat” every two seconds. When pressing the on-screen button, you get an indication every second. You must hold the button as long as you want to talk. This is true while speaking or when waiting for a turn. Have fun!

The second “Assembly of Assemblies” of the Yellow Vests

 


Early last month, between April 5-7, the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) organized a second “Assembly of Assemblies” in , following the first such meeting in back in January. The following article is a partial report-back on these meetings, offering an enthusiastic, albeit ambivalent, assessment. When “limits” and “disappointments” are mentioned, the author considers them despite everything as being part of a long process: “democracy must be conceived as a painful learning process”.

This May 1, the French people offer the world a strategy.

The stunningly successful “yellow vest” movement building over the past half year decided to join with labor unions and social movements in a massively enlarged Mayday, 2019. Demonstrations will sweep across France with a demand for what the yellow vests call “a new democracy.”

In the US and beyond we need that too: the call, the vast new kind of social movement represented by the yellow vests, the unity of social movements with the labor movement. And like the yellow vests made clearly explicit in their call for these Mayday events, by “new democracy” they mean to confront and move society beyond capitalism.

What is “new” first of all is that democracy belongs inside the workplace. The capitalists who give lip service to democracy have always rigidly excluded it from the workplaces they owned and were determined to control exclusively. The privations, inequalities, money-bought governments, and ecological disasters that plague us today follow directly from how capitalists use their unaccountable power inside capitalist enterprises. To democratize the enterprise solves many social problems caused by and from capitalism’s undemocratic core. A new democracy inside enterprises ends capitalism and begins a better system for the vast majority.

At Democracy at Work we seek to contribute to just such an international movement for a new democracy. Our advocacy for a transition from undemocratic capitalist enterprises to democratic worker cooperatives instead is one way to make such a contribution.?We invite and welcome others to join in a process of change already well underway.

In solidarity,
