I forgot to publish this before. I was going to originally post a comment to the video I have an issue with, but I doubt he or his commenters will care. I’ve tried to leave comments about disability, I speak from experience.
I was hoping to find a source on the South Node Pluto conjunction of 2019 that does not center the oppressive discourse of karma, or discourses just like it along with the concept, that simply originates from an oppressive religion. I recommended non-astrological sources but in 2020 found astrological sources too that do not use oppressive language [I came by to edit personal info, will put it elsewhere]. It’s important to remember and honour our ancestors at this time of a shift in some 500 years that we are going through for all past and future generations. I wished I could sleep and wake up and find that the world has matured and is less bigoted so that there are fewer casualties; some leave it to a few to do all the work, do some ally theatre and earn all the money. I slept a lot for my standards then I napped, a lot for an Aries moon, I had vivid dreams about who and what to cut out of my life or who and what, I hope, will eclipse themselves. I was struggling to cut out some people, to be honest.
I’m disappointed with the focus on disabled folks in this vid though I’m not dependent on the state and not in that country but I’ll speak from a US-centric perspective, as friends are, and much of the discussion on social media. If one makes sure one’s perspective is not rooted in eugenics, we can see that people (the abled take it for granted) are super dependent on health insurance (that does not care about most disabled people, does not cover preexisting illnesses so those born with illnesses?), the law and police (something Black people can’t rely on), the state (he’s speaking to a crowd that doesn’t know how to be independent on Native American land, has no respect for the land and people; furthermore it is Native American land and bet they’d be called dependant on the state as they got disowned of their land; just like those who built the country while enslaved, and also have rights to the land, are called dependant on this and that) and white settlers are dependant on lavish lifestyles.
And eugenics is more pervasive than we think, whether many people have a preference for blue-eyed blond babies or whether some people feel threatened of being outnumbered by indigenous, Black people and people of colour. The power structure is dependent on that they maintain a large enough undiluted population. Then people not mature enough to have realistic dreams or take moral responsibilities for a more just society then pin their hopes/ dreams/ responsibilities on children.
Meanwhile disabled folx network, out of the abled’s sight. A lot of what we say is usually out of their sights because who pays attention? People only start to care if disability happens to their child or family member, or not even then.
