It should come as no surprise that the corporate pedophilic elites controlling the global economy are also eugenicists. Epstein, Musk, and Trump exemplify the non-accidental relationship between pedophilia and eugenics – interconnected systems of oppression that inflict sexual, physical, and emotional violence on individuals deemed “undeveloped” or “impaired.” Jeffrey Epstein Epstein apparently believed in both […]

Techno-capitalism, Crisis Epistemology, and Disaster Ableism: How (not) to Respond to Generative AI in Higher education (My presentation @ #PhiDisSocCh6)
Introduction Techno-capitalism is a social system dominated by technology-driven capital, in which technological development is a primary vehicle for wealth concentration.

La Estrategia de los Malos Modales según Alejandra Vitale
Desde la perspectiva retórica, el discurso violento (y la violencia en general, pienso yo) activa asociaciones de masculinidad y rebeldía (y juventud) que se espera sean acpetadas como positiva por el público al que van dirigidas, pero también afirma el propio poder de quién violenta: violento, porque puedo, es decir, porque tengo el poder que […]
