@AliciaRamstead [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [02]: THREAD: American Legislative Exchange Council "Eliminate Political Boycotts Act" |@Guardian: #Rightwing Grp (#ALEC) pushing US States for law (Model) blocking ‘political boycott’ of ("#Woke Capitalism") firms - for #BigOil #Guns Manufacturers [URL redacted] #ALECexposed [URL redacted]
#AdvocacyUSAmericanLegislativeExchangeCouncilALEC #TauntBigOil #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianChrisMcGreal "A powerful rightwing pressure group, the American Legislative Exchange Council (Alec), is pushing states to adopt a new law shielding all US businesses from 'political boycotts'. Although primarily aimed at protecting controversial industries such as fossil fuel companies, big agriculture and gun manufacturers, the proposed legislation is written to prevent boycotts by investors, banks and other companies of any US business." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/11/alec-anti-political-boycott-state-legislation
Context #NewspaperUSBrdshtUSATodayYvonneWingettSanchez, #NewspaperUSBrdshtUSATodayRobODell "The industry-sponsored group has weathered controversy and flourished because it also offers conservative Republican elected officials a social network, access to campaign donors and a blueprint for how to accelerate their political careers." https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2019/04/03/alec-american-legislative-exchange-council-model-bills-republican-conservative-devos-gingrich/3162357002/ #PhenomnModelLegislation [Wikipedia]

@CortneySaraniti [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [04]: @teach_n_travel “Flanagan said this week during an interview ‘numerous good reports’ about residential schools were being discounted due to ‘wokeism.’” Why are #Conservatives are getting away with saying that to be #woke is a BAD thing? #racism #hypocrisy @nationalpost #cdnpoli #INDIGENOUS [URL redacted]
#AdvocacyCABroadbentInstitutePressProgressMitchellThompson "In the interview, Flanagan acknowledged residential schools 'had drawbacks,' but he also echoed statements he has made previously defending the utility of residential schools as a 'pragmatic response to the realities of trying to educate a widely-distributed population': 'I haven't heard anyone say what would be a practical alternative to Residential Schools. Would you say no school at all? If we hadn't set up any schools Canada would be condemned today for leaving this population in ignorance.' Regarding the indisputable evidence of sexual and physical abuse at residential schools, Flanagan suggested the news has not taken a balanced approach - something he blames on 'wokeism.' 'I think any honest approach would try to draw the balance,' Flanagan told True North. 'What has happened is people with strong ideological convictions, what today is often called 'wokeism', have taken the bad reports and woven them into their narrative while discounting the numerous good reports.' Flanagan elaborated on his thoughts: 'The historical record is mixed as it is for all human institutions. You know, if I can draw a comparison for a second, if you look at the literature surrounding boarding schools in England at the time which were used for the children of elite parents, many students love their schools. Others report horrifying reports of physical and sexual abuse at these schools. So, for residential schools in Canada, you'll also find a mixed set of reports. ' In a statement to PressProgress, Flanagan said he 'absolutely' stands behind his statement that news reports about the discovery of unmarked graves at residential schools is 'fake news.' Asked whether he disputes the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's findings that children died as a result of abuse in residential schools, Flanagan said: 'I dispute this as a generalization.'" https://pressprogress.ca/fraser-institute-fellow-tom-flanagan-news-stories-about-residential-school-graves-are-fake-news/ #AdvocacyCAFraserInstitute #OrgCATruthAndReconciliationCommissionOfCanada #ToponymAmericaNorthCanada #AdvocacyCATrueNorthCentreForPublicPolicy #TauntWokeism #LiteralSchoolResidentialBoarding

@MargaretRutecki [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [02]: Do y'all realize what it would take to retool industries of the world to accommodate a zero carbon footprint... #investment #invest #GreenNewDeal #Woke #Biden #BidenMustGo #Oil #gas #Green #AOC #ClimateCrisis #infastructure #inflation [URL redacted]
"I get the whole alt/clean energy pitch, and yes it's relevant. However, do y'all realize what it would take to retool industries of the world to accommodate a zero carbon footprint. The Green New Deal is just a way to steal more of our tax dollars. We don't need the Green New Deal. Industries are already investing in Alt/Clean energy; including the oil & gas industry. The last thing we need to do is create another gov't bureaucratic monster that needs to be fed more of our tax dollars. Private/Public industries always do a more effective, efficient, and cost effective job than our government. Let the FREE MARKET deal with Alternative/Clean Energy!" #MetaphorVersusCostEnvironment #PolicyDecarbonisationZeroCarbon #PoliticsBureaucracy #LiteralPayingTax #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarket / #PoliticsNeoliberalism
Addendum #ReasoningArgumentRejoinder to #CauseActivismClimate perspectives (as a rhetorical response to hypothetical scenarios). The opening claim that "I get the whole alt/clean energy pitch" is a #ReasoningArgumentBadFaith i.e. "The hallmark of a bad-faith argument is that it disguises the core point of a debate rather than addressing issues, beliefs, and values head-on. Bad faith arguments aren't 'real' positions; they're proxy positions people take for rhetorical purposes. In some cases, a bad faith position can be intentional." https://medium.com/s/story/a-field-guide-to-bad-faith-arguments-7-terrible-arguments-in-your-mentions-ee4f194afbc9

Addendum #ReasoningFallacyArgumentFromConsequences i.e. "e.g., 'Global climate change cannot be caused by human burning of fossil fuels, because if it were, switching to non-polluting energy sources would bankrupt American industry,' or 'Doctor, that's wrong! I can't have terminal cancer, because if I did that'd mean that I won't live to see my kids get married!')." https://utminers.utep.edu/omwilliamson/ENGL1311/fallacies.htm #SloganLifeWithoutOil

Supplementary #IRLAuthorLauraBasu "The concept of global labour-value chains helps us understand two crucial things. 1. the global economy is about power and domination, not a 'free market'. And 2. the pattern of domination is imperialist in nature. The countries that participate most in global labour-value chains are China, India and Indonesia. The same goes for many countries in the Global South, including Mexico, which gets shafted a lot by the US. What is striking about these economies? They have both low wages and high productivity at the same time. That is due to the value-slurping-device of the global labour-value chain. The sucky multinationals are mostly headquartered in the US, Europe and Japan, and that's where the money ends up. The capitalist global economy is not a level playing field. It never was. The parts of the world that got rich and powerful through colonial plunder, genocide and enslavement use that wealth and power to keep on thieving, even now colonialism is officially over." https://laurabasu.substack.com/p/concept-of-the-fortnight-global-labour #TheoryGlobalLabourValueChains #IdentityGlobalSouth #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarket #TheoryCulturalImperialismWestern #ToponymAsiaChina #ToponymAsiaSouthIndia #ToponymAsiaIndonesia #ToponymAmericaNorthMexico #PhenomnColonialism #LiteralFieldEconomicsBusinessModelFastFashion [Wikipedia]
