Probably. I'm mostly interested in equality, rights & freedom but this includes the freedom to think abt ableism as you see fit.

Ok. So if I think that ableism is a kind of oppression that ought to be reduced, that's also cool with you?

Absolutely! My current causes are Right to Die, services for the elderly, epilepsy accommodation & support for ppl with OCD.

Then maybe I didn't actually understand your criticism of anti-oppressive work that's highly influenced by postmodern thinking

:) I don't mind what it's influenced by provided it's compatible with universal human rights, equality & freedom.

That sounds good. But I wonder who gets to make that judgement.

Society does. That's why the conversation will be ongoing forever & all we can do is argue our case, campaign & vote.

Many liberals find me too focused on the 'freedom' aspect & feel that this allows ppl to say & believe things that are harmful.

I feel this is vital & feel their attempts to silence religious people or critics of religion or racists or anti-racists is a problem.

I expect to be arguing this & shifting my own position slightly forever.
