I was thinking while watching the latest Tom Cruise Mission Impossible that there was a time in living memory when we could all do without an internet and AI that turns evil. But I had read some and watched some about a history of 'extinction' as a concept accompanying settler colonialism in the late 19th century, when all we had to worry about was yellow journalism and print advertising persuading us to the use of machines. https://lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/n19/lorraine-daston/kaboom and https://youtube.com/watch?v=nfPFab7zyTM , discussion of Sadiah Qureshi's new book, "Vanished: an unnatural history of extinction." Something about mind control is that it needs some understanding of the human will under rough circumstances such as the Australian outback. The 1960s was a heyday for what Theodore Roszak called a 'suave technocracy,' in his book, "Where the Wasteland Ends," from 1970. He foresaw the march of science through all culture should technocracy turn teratoid. Hannah Arendt bemoaned social atomization in her magnum opus about Totalitarianism. I'm just glad for the space of some free time in a day to think this stuff out.
What's the evidence that "Their sit-in movement triggered a national awakening not just on racial justice but also on imperialism (ending the Vietnam War), women’s rights (winning the legal right to contraception), and economic inequality (creating food stamps and Medicaid)."?
Partly just based on common knowledge, at least among US citizens. But there's good evidence all the Freedom Summer activists, e.g., Mario Savio, went on to do lots of other good for the world. The CRM provided the inspiration.
Wayne a more jumbled post than yours is hard to imagine.
I fully disagree that free speech is being stifled in America today!
In fact free and open speech is being restored...see the live Cabinet meetings and social media being no longer under our governments thumb as during the prior administration.
You seem to want to say how out of control the ANIMAL RESEARCH COMMUNITY is.
I fully agree that is the case.
I believe if you have names and examples of abuse and I believe there are plenty...please present that and then we can proceed with facts!
Upon getting FACTS out we can contact the current government administration and DEMAND ACTION. This administration so far is about solving problems, cutting costs a righting wrongs.
Let's give them another problem to attack and then follow up to see that they do their jobs.
I believe they will as economics are the driving force and ANIMAL ABUSE IS NOT BASED ON SOUND ECONOMICS!
Solving problems dumping oil on Alaskan wilderness, two oceans? Ptomoting the trillionaire and his big oil hotrod peddler gang? Propping up beef farmers in US and Argentina? Denying climate science and vaccines? Are you acting as if you have normalized these vices by mingling them with mention of
dislike for lab animal experimentation? as if Wayne should narrow his scope and stop showing connections to wider human problems?
You seem more than mildly deranged. Your left wing accusations and those like you dramatically slow the progress which is being made in the animal rights movement.
Go to your Gavin meeting and save the rest of us your propaganda !
Sorry I am late getting around to this...re: community, the AfroAmerican activists here had no doubt that the EuroAmerican 'whites' were in the same society with them. They knew that the 'whites' were lacking the long experience of subjection to white/supremacism. The AfroAmericans were introducing the really existing community to the 'whites', just out of common sense. Their real-time awareness of commonsense 'liveable' proved more authentic. This is the link to Animal Liberation, the work you and others have done --- the ground that's being broken.

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting.
