Note: Righteous Nation Ideology in Science Fiction and Climate Justice Today

John F. Sitton’s criticism in “Hannah Arendt’s Argument for Council Democracy” (Polity, 1987 – link) and Odd Arne Westad’s outline of the Korea’s Neo-Confucian ‘Righteous Nation’ ideology (Empire and Righteous Nation, 2021) perfectly shows what we know about the intended goals of the Abrahamic god, and the limitations of that god’s promises. This is essentially …

Kamala Harris Denied Reparations for Forced Sterilization Victims in California

When I was in grad school at Johns Hopkins I took a class on families in the United States from a cross-cultural perspective.

What I can say is that light pollution is a …

Reposting short note: Critical Thinking as Liberation Tool, Not Capitalist Maneuvering

From what I have been reading the last few months, here and there, capitalists are trying to modify critical thinking as a “soft skill” to navigate the global economy. Not to prioritize critical thinking as a primary skill to see through capitalism and understand the world as it really is. They will probably win in …
