I was thinking about examples of how the social model of disability has worked in small ways (even if it's not widely known yet). Vision correction! Needing corrective lenses is no longer seen as a disability, typically. Why? Because society made glasses available to everyone, and we see them on everyone, and it's normalized to have faulty vision because the lenses are normal or even invisible on many (contact lenses). Imagine all the other disabilities being handled the same way including hidden ones like mine.
I recently read a book (maybe two years ago or so, I guess), called Rise of Robots by Martin Ford. The book was largely about how automation, mostly through tech, algorithms and "robots" will essentially replace human labor by maybe 2050. This would, in the author's opinion, essentially destroy capitalism since most humans rely on labor for expenses. In order to keep the capitalist boat afloat, the only viable solution is for federal governments to implement Universal Basic Income. If you will, robots and algorithms will essentially disable 99% of the population, thereby putting us all on a form of disability. We really seem to be heading in that direction, as the "covid checks" sent to all could be viewed as an experiment or test run of UBI where there was an apparent income loss for many. We seek not to replace capitalism, but give it a lifeline by placing everyone on disability leave. It's getting real.
You rock. My support. There was a part in this video I didn't fully grasp, but I tend to align with your views so far, very much so. I wanna give credit to your mission, attitude, style of presentation etc. as I've percieved them. You're definitely a human, which I lovelovelove. Keep it uuup.
Have you watched John the Duncan's video on disability? If not, then you two have somehow metaphysically mind-melded without noticing. (I don't actually believe that, it's a figure of speech)
(extra comment to appease algorithm monster) It's tough for me because I mask and present very well, and I CAN work....just not most jobs, definitely not for full-time hours with very limited exceptions, the few exceptions I can think of are too cutthroat to get into if there even is a chance, and I'm a full-time co-parent anyway to kids with medical needs. I would like to be able to get enough money to live without downplaying my ability or literally destroying myself after a week at a job that's a poor fit because it's there (and probably doesn't pay enough anyway)
I mean, *nobody* should like saying "undesirable". It *should* make people sick and want to not use it. Which is why we *need* to call it that, say it like it is so that we have motivation to change the system rather than gussy it up in pretty words. *That's* the "political correctness" everyone should be complaining about and fighting back against, not the mainstream media's begrudging acknowledgement that marginalized groups exist and are people and that's okay I guess.
Thanks for this and all your other videos! Can you tell me where the quote „any definition of disability is already a political statement“ at 10:35 comes from?
Yep! My hair is pretty straight naturally (though I had little ringlets when I was small and I'm sorta kinda figuring out how to get them back) I have tutorials for how I do it somewhere on this channel! :)
It doesn't matter the name capitalism, socialism .. I would say a totalism or oppresive system that doesn't respect human beings!! This is what humanists throughtout history have been talking about!
What makes it capitalist in particular? Wouldn’t it be the case in any industrial society? It’d certainly be true in Stalin’s USSR and other historic socialist states.

Thanks for the great video and adressing how capitalism vievs and treats disabled people

Excellent Video. Ummmm AGREES!

Another great one

Studying Disability Arts and Culture: An Introduction by Petra Kuppers! Literally everything she writes is a masterpiece I adore her lol
Great vid! Thank you 💚
Do you curl your hair? It looks almost like mine except with slightly tighter curls :)
Yep! My hair is pretty straight naturally (though I had little ringlets when I was small and I'm sorta kinda figuring out how to get them back) I have tutorials for how I do it somewhere on this channel! :)

Are you friendly to the idea of making video about your special interests? For example a video series about russian revolution?
