okay. ... okay... uh uh.... okay. okay. ok.
first, yr right, i don't rely on cultural-historical activity dialectical
vygoskyeteras to advance political critiques,
'cuz,
well,
the above frames for wording aren't political - so, yes. i speak a
different tongue.
politics and reproductive technologies go hand in hand - if some country
uses a particular drug for
"controlling" the birth rates of thirdworld women, there is - i can tell
you this from personal experience in
international capitalism, back in my bad-girl daze - that there are always
hands greasing hands
with many crispy buckaroos involved and what you call policy is the
promotional emergence (marketing-advertising) of
many slimy backdoor practices - pleeeeze don't tell me you are that naive.
yes: pharmaceutical companies based in the USA and globally distributed
absolutely distribute
reproductive drugs to thirdworld orgs for the purposes of sterilizing
women -
the "west" is not a geographical place, ya silly! it's an ideology -
another political word - oiy oiy -
i think, for the most part, that research is pretty corrupt. yep. i think
global capitalism is the devil. transnational corporations are Ssssssatan!
Satan in a white hood, actually.
i feel no ambiguity about critiquing the ways science is used for
mobilizing kinds of dominance through
consumerism, medicalization, agricultural colonization, eco-colonization
(tourism) slavery and so on - and ya, the world
has gone to hell and i just can't say, well ya but surely the brains
behind the practices are innocent!!
please. let's just say, you chat, and i politic.
