Debunking the Rightwing use of the Dunning-Kruger Effect
Briefly stated, the Dunning-Kruger Effect is a statistical observation made by two US academics (in 1999), that generally speaking, states that individual human-beings are a)
Jack Whitehall’s ‘Bad Education’ Really is ‘Bad’ (2012-2015)
Even if it is argued that there are Mainland Chinese students in the UK (which there undoubtedly are), Whitehall is entirely wrong to cast a Japanese actress (Kae Alexander) in the role of Jing Hua, when there are many fine and capable British born Chinese actresses to choice from.
How ‘New’ Labour Betrayed its Disabled Supporters (1997-2010)
The notion of disability ‘Civil Rights’ was used by Tony Blair to attract the disabled vote for the ‘New’ Labour victory, but when he backtracked and disabled protestors ‘chained’ themselves to railings outside Downing Street (and elsewhere) – Tony Blair unleashed the police upon them.
Invalidation of the Worker – Part II (4.12.2017)
My original article entitled The Invalidation of the Worker – A Study of Disability in Capitalist Society was published in October, 2013. It is logical to assume that as ‘Austerity’ has continued unabated, thousands of disabled who were alive to read it then, are nolonger with us now. The proliferation of articles that over-simplify and misrepresent ‘disability’ are common place within bourgeois society. Most miss the vital point of economic exclusion, and focus instead upon misguided notions of bourgeois individuality – making such puerile statements as ‘if only disabled people were viewed as individuals and not their disabilities’, or ‘disabled people should not be viewed as dysfunctional able-bodied’, and so on and so forth. It is not that there is no truth to statements such as these, but that this kind of narrative is entirely bourgeois in nature, and as such, does not address the central reality of economic exclusion. Why should a person with a disability be categorised as ‘disabled’, when ‘able-bodied’ people are only referred to in that manner, within a temporary discourse which distinguishes the non-disabled from the disabled (privileging the former and disempowering the latter). In reality this situation is a matter of Marxist-Leninist critique, and involves the exclusion of the disabled community not only from bourgeois society, but also from proletariat society.
When Britain Ethnically Cleansed Its Chinese Populations
Polish people may well be from another country, but their European ethnicity runs the UK – albeit in its distinct British form. I condemn any and all crimes against Polish people, but do not believe that they are the victims of post-Brexit ‘racism’ in the manner that Black, Asian and Chinese people in the UK are (a subject the British media is quiet about). To the British media it seems that hate-filled prejudice is only reportable if white people are suffering it.
