On my main blog: a post on not leaving people nowhere to go / without community

On my main blog I have posted an article about a webinar that I consider well worth a read. 

The details are:   

“Post No. 2,645 - From a webinar on addressing disinformation: don’t leave people nowhere to go / no community ... ”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2023/11/post-no-2645-from-webinar-on-addressing.html   “Earlier this evening I attended a webinar in addressing misinformation/disinformation (although the terms have different meanings, their use has become interchangeable). There were a few things that came out of it - including, as an aside, the need for someone to manage the chat and shut down the trolls.”   

The webinar covered a few topics, but the main one I am going to be thinking about is what I have referred to in the past as “taking people with you”.

Looks like I was more right than I knew, and should have backed myself more. 

However, there are, in my opinion, exceptions to this for situations of active harm, and one participant mentioned having dogs set on him for having voted yes!

 

Assumptions / basis 

In writing this, I have assumed / started from the following: 

• this blog states quite clearly that it is about political and human rights matters, including lived experience of problems, and thus I will assume readers are reasonable people who have noted the content warning in the post header;

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”; 
  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.
  

 

If they are of any use of interest, the activism information links from my former news posts are available in this post.

Remember: we need to be more human being rather than human doing, and all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk.
