What i particularly appreciate about this piece is that we’re so consistently soaked in rightwing media, both pro/con, that we cease to see alternatives. Other possibilities. Ones filled with awe & appreciation for the diversity of people & complimentary genius that can make life better for all!

In what conceivable sense is empathy for people with disabilities “suicidal”? Contributing to social security spending through taxation is not going to kill you or destroy society. Being the kind of person whose lack of empathy means being outraged at having to help others just makes you a sociopath

40 years ago I began my Russian degree course at the University of Leeds. It was the era of perestroika & glasnost. Who could have imagined then what the world would look like four decades on. At night, on a short wave radio, I’d listen to music from the USSR. I still remember some of the melodies.
