A Suécia e os ciganos

Posted on Março 30, 2014 by André Azevedo Alves 

Durante 100 anos, a Suécia perseguiu e esterilizou ciganos

A Suécia admitiu que nos últimos 100 anos tratou a população cigana como “incapacitados sociais” e, por isso, esterilizou-os e perseguiu os que estavam no seu território, impedindo a entrada de outros.

(…) Entre 1934 e 1974, o Estado sueco prescreveu a esterilização das mulheres ciganas. Não há números, mas o Ministério da Integração diz que uma em cada quatro famílias ouvidas para a redacção deste Livro Branco conhecia pelo menos um caso de esterilização ou aborto forçado.
Muitas crianças foram retiradas às famílias pelos organismos de Estado — tratava-se de “uma prática sistemática”, explicou Sophia Meteluis, assessora do Ministério da Integração, citada pelo jornal espanhol El País.

Sinopse

É uma síntese didática da teoria gramscista para a implantação da nova ordem socialista marxista. Apresenta um extrato seletivo do exposto por Gramsci no seu livro Cadernos do Cárcere de onde extraiu e colocou numa linguagem mais clara os trechos pertinentes da sua estratégia e táticas revolucionárias. O valor do trabalho está no fato de colocar ao alcance do leitor comum uma teoria revolucionária de difícil compreensão, embora lógica. Trata-se de um estudo inédito cujo valor aumenta extraordinariamente se considerarmos que a tese gramscista vem orientando a tomada do poder em várias partes do mundo.

Bombardamento

The Bombers and the Bombed: Allied Air War Over Europe 1940-1945

by Richard Overy
he ultimate history of the Allied bombing campaigns in World War II

Technology shapes the nature of all wars, and the Second World War hinged on a most unpredictable weapon: the bomb. Day and night, Britain and the United States unleashed massive fleets of bombers to kill and terrorize occupied Europe, destroying its cities. The grisly consequences call into question how “moral” a war the Allies fought.
The Bombers and the Bombed radically overhauls our understanding of World War II. It pairs the story of the civilian front line in the Allied air war alongside the political context that shaped their strategic bombing campaigns, examining the responses to bombing and being bombed with renewed clarity.
The first book to examine seriously not only the well-known attacks on Dresden and Hamburg but also the significance of the firebombing on other fronts, including Italy, where the crisis was far more severe than anything experienced in Germany, this is Richard Overy’s finest work yet. It is a rich reminder of the terrible military, technological, and ethical issues that relentlessly drove all the war’s participants into an abyss.

Hayek and The Praise of Ignorance

by Bradley J. Birzer

1 875

Those of us who belong to The Imaginative Conservative community spend a great deal of time lamenting the all-pervasive influence of ideologies, systems, and abstractions in this modern and post-modern vale of tears. We distrust them and those who advocate them, knowingly or unknowingly, and we presume they indicate a certain amount of undue pride, that first and most terrible sin. We might go so far as to state that our despising of unearned and presumed reason is quite reasonable.

Generally, we turn to men such as Kirk and Peter Stanlis. As Kirk wrote so eloquently in his 1954 book, A Program for Conservatives (later revised as Prospects for Conservatives and available from Imaginative Conservative Books)

Individualism in Modern Thought: From Adam Smith to Hayek (Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought)  by Lorenzo Infantino

This book is a comprehensive survey of methodological individualism in social, political and economic thought from the Enlightenment to the 20th century. Exploring the works of such figures as de Mandeville, Smith, Marx, Spencer, Durkheim, Simmel, Weber, Hayek, Popper and Parsons, this study underlines the contrasts between methodological collectivism and methodological individualism. The detailed analysis offered here also reveals the theoretical presuppositions behind the collectivist and individualist traditions and the practical consequences of their applications. Infantino concludes in favour of individualism.

30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself. #10 Is An Absolute Must.

Share On Facebook

Marc and Angel, two passionate writers, life-hackers and “admirers of the human spirit,” have come up with an amazing list of 30 things to stop doing to yourself. If you like their list, make sure you check out their site and sign up to their amazing newsletter.
#1. Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.  If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you.  You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot.  Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.  And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.

pongboy

#2. Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on.  No, it won’t be easy.  There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them.  We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems.  That’s not how we’re made.  In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall.  Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time.  This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.

#3. Stop lying to yourself. – You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can’t lie to yourself.  Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be honest with ourselves.

#4. Stop putting your own needs on the back burner. – The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.  Yes, help others; but help yourself too.  If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.

pinterest

#5. Stop trying to be someone you’re not. – One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that’s trying to make you like everyone else.  Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you.  Don’t change so people will like you.  Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.

Recorrentemente, ocorre algo que resume perfeitamente a ideia por trás disso que chamam de "justiça social".  De todas as formidáveis críticas que seus detratores já escreveram sobre esse ignóbil conceito, nenhuma é páreo para a elegante simplicidade de um recente trabalho feito justamente pelos defensores da "justiça social".  Refiro-me aqui a um recente vídeo feito para o Dia Mundial da Justiça Social[1], no qual alunos e professores tinham de completar a seguinte frase:

Todo mundo tem o direito a(o) ___________

O vídeo é uma pitoresca montagem de vários possíveis complementos para essa frase, tendo uma agradável e convencional música como pano de fundo.  Ele mostra alunos e professores completando a frase acima, mostrando suas respostas escritas em suas mãos, braços e pés.  As pessoas no vídeo dão respostas que abrangem todos os tipos de coisas desejáveis, desde conhecimento, amor, justiça, compaixão e verdade até educação, saúde, comida, água limpa, nutrição, sapatos, dançar, rock and roll e até mesmo pirulitos e sorvete.  Veja o vídeo.
Algumas dessas demandas, se interpretadas muito caridosamente, podem ser interpretadas como genuínos direitos, porém a maioria é totalmente extravagante, como os supostos direitos a sorvete e rock and roll.  Ademais, o peso das demandas desse último tipo torna a mensagem do vídeo bem clara: tudo que é desejável é um direito.  Quer mais comida?  É um direito.  Quer melhores serviços de saúde?  Também é um direito.  Quer ter conhecimento e compaixão?  São direitos também.  Quer amor, dançar, cuidados pré-natais e pirulitos?  Direitos, direitos, direitos, direitos.

Raízes evangelicas do "New Deal"

The Evangelical Origins of the Living Constitution 

by John W. Compton

The New Deal is often said to represent a sea change in American constitutional history, overturning a century of precedent to permit an expanded federal government, increased regulation of the economy, and eroded property protections. John Compton offers a surprising revision of this familiar narrative, showing that nineteenth-century evangelical Protestants, not New Deal reformers, paved the way for the most important constitutional developments of the twentieth century.

Following the great religious revivals of the early 1800s, American evangelicals embarked on a crusade to eradicate immorality from national life by destroying the property that made it possible. Their cause represented a direct challenge to founding-era legal protections of sinful practices such as slavery, lottery gambling, and buying and selling liquor. Although evangelicals urged the judiciary to bend the rules of constitutional adjudication on behalf of moral reform, antebellum judges usually resisted their overtures. But after the Civil War, American jurists increasingly acquiesced in the destruction of property on moral grounds.

In the early twentieth century, Oliver Wendell Holmes and other critics of laissez-faire constitutionalism used the judiciary's acceptance of evangelical moral values to demonstrate that conceptions of property rights and federalism were fluid, socially constructed, and subject to modification by democratic majorities. The result was a progressive constitutional regime--rooted in evangelical Protestantism--that would hold sway for the rest of the twentieth century.

Com mais mortes que Iraque, Brasil está em guerra e não sabe

No Brasil, mata-se 274 vezes mais do que em Hong Kong e 137 vezes mais do que na Inglaterra

São Paulo – Vivemos em um país em guerra, mesmo que não declarada. Esta é uma das conclusões possíveis a partir da leitura do estudo Mapa da Violência 2013, realizado pelo professor Julio Jacobo Waiselfisz, da Faculdade Latino-Americana de Ciências Sociais e divulgado hoje. Cerca de 170 mil pessoas foram mortas nos 12 maiores conflitos no globo entre 2004 e 2007 (veja tabela abaixo). No Brasil, mais de 200 mil perderam a vida somente entre 2008 e 2011.
Isto tudo sem que o país viva "disputas territoriais, movimentos emancipatórios, guerras civis, enfrentamentos religiosos, raciais ou étnicos, conflitos de fronteira ou atos terroristas", lembra o levantamento.
Há dois anos - época dos últimos dados disponíveis - foram registradas mais de 50 mil mortes, o que confere ao Brasil uma taxa de 27,1 homicídios para cada 100 mil brasileiros. Desse total, cerca de 40% (18 mil pessoas) eram jovens entre 15 e 24 anos.

Maxims of the past

The Rev. William John Henry Boetcker was a Presbyterian minister and notable public speaker who served as director of the pro-employer Citizens' Industrial Alliance, a position he held when, in 1916, he produced a booklet of nuggets from his lectures. Boetcker's collection of maxims eventually crystallized as the list of ten now-familiar entries (variously known as the Industrial Decalogue, the Ten Don'ts, the Ten Cannots, Ten Things You Cannot Do, or the "American Charter"). His axioms are:
• You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
• You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
• You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
• You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
• You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
• You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
• You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
• You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
• You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.
• You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

Coletivismo oligárquico

THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF OLIGARCHICAL COLLECTIVISM

by Emmanuel Goldstein

(The 'Book within a Book' from George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four) All past oligarchies have fallen from power either because they ossified or because they grew soft. Either they became stupid and arrogant, failed to adjust themselves to changing circumstances, and were overthrown; or they became liberal and cowardly, made concessions when they should have used force, and once again were overthrown. They fell, that is to say, either through consciousness or through unconsciousness. It is the achievement of the Party to have produced a system of thought in which both conditions can exist simultaneously. And upon no other intellectual basis could the dominion of the Party be made permanent. If one is to rule, and to continue ruling, one must be able to dislocate the sense of reality. For the secret of rulership is to combine a belief in one's own infallibility with the Power to learn from past mistakes.

A relação entre tecnologica digital e trabalho

Race Against The Machine

By Erik Brynjolfsson (@erikbryn) and Andrew McAfee (@amcafee)

  ”We’re entering unknown territory in the quest to reduce labor costs. The AI revolution is doing to white collar jobs what robotics did to blue collar jobs. Race Against the Machine is a bold effort to make sense of the future of work.  No one else is doing serious thinking about a force that will lead to a restructuring of the economy that is more profound and far-reaching than the transition from the agricultural to the industrial age. Brynjolfsson and McAfee have hit the ball out of the park on this one.  It’s a book anyone concerned with either business, or more broadly, the future of our society, simply must read.” – Tim O’Reilly
“This is, quite simply, the best book yet written on the interaction of digital technology, employment and organization.   Race Against the Machine is meticulously researched, sobering, practical and, ultimately, hopeful.  It is an extremely important contribution to the debate about how we ensure that every human being benefits from the digital revolution that is still gathering speed. If you read only one book on technology in the next 12 months, it should be this one.” -Gary Hamel

Mary Midgley

Mary Midgley: a late stand for a philosopher with soul

The moral philosopher has, in her 10th decade, become rather fashionable, as her fight to defend human consciousness against the likes of Richard Dawkins gathers admirers around the world

• Andrew Anthony

Moral philosopher Mary Midgley at home in Newcastle. Photographed for the Observer by Gary Calton

For a subject that is supposed to grapple with timeless questions, philosophy is chronically vulnerable to changing fashions. Trends come and go, one philosopher is all the rage, then the moment passes, the once radical insights begin to look dated and the intellectual caravan moves on to some new, often more arcane, territory of thought.

The moral philosopher Mary Midgley has never enjoyed the popular renown of, say, an AJ Ayer or the professional respect of a Richard Rorty, let alone the cult status of the continental critical theorists. But it's fair to say that at 94, she is finally beginning to draw attention from further afield than the narrow confines of her discipline. She's noticed this herself, as she's suddenly fielding emails from people from many different backgrounds from all over the world.
Her latest book is provocatively titled Are You an Illusion? Like much of her previous work, it's an attack on what she views as the shibboleths of materialism – the notion that everything in the universe, including us, can ultimately be understood through its physical properties. But it focuses in particular on the thorny issue of the self or consciousness or even, as Midgley sometimes puts it, the soul.
And currently there is what might be called a battle for the human soul being fought between the humanities and the sciences over who is best placed to examine the nature of consciousness and what it means to be human. One recent typical skirmish was an ill-tempered exchange of essays between the evolutionary psychologist Steven Pinker and the literary critic Leon Wieseltier in the pages of the New Republic.

SÃO PAULO - O médico José Alfredo Vasco Tenório, de 67 anos, iniciava a sua pedalada diária pela orla de Maceió, quando foi abordado por dois rapazes numa praça a 400 metros de sua casa. Um dos criminosos estava armado. Quando ele se abaixou para saltar da bicicleta, recebeu um disparo nas costas. A bala atravessou o corpo e acertou o coração. João Alfredo morreu no local e se tornou mais uma das vítimas da violência na capital alagoana, a quinta cidade com mais homicídios no mundo, segundo levantamento elaborado pela ONG mexicana Conselho Cidadão para Segurança Pública e Justiça Penal AC.

Why almost everything you've been told about unhealthy foods is wrong

'The evidence that appears to implicate red meat does not separate well-reared, unprocessed meat from its factory farmed, heavily processed equivalent.' Photograph: Mike Kemp/Getty Images/Rubberball

Could eating too much margarine be bad for your critical faculties? The "experts" who so confidently advised us to replace saturated fats, such as butter, with polyunsaturated spreads, people who presumably practise what they preach, have suddenly come over all uncertain and seem to be struggling through a mental fog to reformulate their script.

What medieval Europe did with its teenagers

By William Kremer BBC World Service

Today, there's often a perception that Asian children are given a hard time by their parents. But a few hundred years ago northern Europe took a particularly harsh line, sending children away to live and work in someone else's home. Not surprisingly, the children didn't always like it.

Around the year 1500, an assistant to the Venetian ambassador to England was struck by the strange attitude to parenting that he had encountered on his travels.
He wrote to his masters in Venice that the English kept their children at home "till the age of seven or nine at the utmost" but then "put them out, both males and females, to hard service in the houses of other people, binding them generally for another seven or nine years". The unfortunate children were sent away regardless of their class, "for everyone, however rich he may be, sends away his children into the houses of others, whilst he, in return, receives those of strangers into his own".
It was for the children's own good, he was told - but he suspected the English preferred having other people's children in the household because they could feed them less and work them harder.

O passado não era bom

El pasado era una mierdaLa Pizarra de Yuri
7 de Marzo 2010

No es poca la gente –incluso gente muy joven– que sustenta la idea de que existió un tiempo en el pasado donde la gente vivía felizmente, hasta libremente, en una especie de mundo bucólico y sencillo sin las preocupaciones, presiones y condicionantes del presente. Unos pocos (cada vez menos) siguen creyendo que todo tiempo pasado fue mejor, mientras otros consideran que en algún punto de nuestra historia existió una época dorada, un paraíso terrenal estropeado por nosotros mismos, por nuestra codicia, nuestra cerrazón o nuestra maldad. Algunos apro-vechan para arrimar el ascua a su sardina política, tratando de asimilar ese periodo arcádico a algún momento del pasado en que sus ideas eran dominantes; la mayoría, se limitan a referirse a él como un modelo ideal hacia donde deberíamos caminar, pero no lo hacemos por ambición, ceguera y orgullo.

Disiento profundamente de todos ellos. Más allá de vanos idealismos, el pasado era un lugar donde ni tú ni yo que-rríamos permanecer más de una semana, en plan turista temporal, ni por asomo. Ni por broma, vamos. El pasado era un lugar horrible para vivir, un tiempo de mugre, piojos, dolor de muelas, tiranía, superstición, ignorancia, pla-gas, niños muertos y mamás adolescentes muertas con ellos. El pasado era una mierda.

Sistema de saúde - a grande fraude

In this video I reveal that:
-Most generic medications cost less than most insurance copays
-Hospitals routinely bill ten or more times what they expect to be paid
-Most outpatient tests and procedures are very inexpensive to perform
-Health insurance companies deliberately manipulate these costs to maintain their profits
