Language limitation from what I read. Also speaking up without knowing what the subject was. It wasn't a defender of adoption, but some crossed wires. I sorted it out with her.
At this point, worldwide, there are more people who want to adopt than their are children who are actually orphans, so often the US and other adopting countries have to make up the difference by starting wars, taking advantage of disasters, and so on. And that is also trafficking, no?
There were people from the Latin American communities I ran into that were fine with that and the children being forced to never speak Spanish again. So this is why the adoptee community bristles hard when people say things like adoption isn't child trafficking. That level of erasure is evil.
For example, the US during the last Trump Presidency took children from Mexico, etc and under Betsy DeVos (former director of Major adoption agency) tried to adopt them out to specifically conservative white Christian homes. Effectively ripping them from their parents.
I don't think they got that you didn't come from the same context since as you likely know there are strictly Spanish speakers in the US, and a lot of trigger happy Adoptive parents, and supporters are more than willing to betray their own race to ignore the systemic problems with adoption.
Contemporary adoption still has inherited heavily a lot of the ideas of child slavery from the 1400's and adoption, which still features in concepts like rehoming, and erasure of children's medical history. Most of this is erased from public view so people won't think about it.
Industrial adoption from the first, was heavily, heavily connected with slavery, genocide and hatred of women. If you were taught the basics of the Marxian idea that people no longer supported gleaners, it's not hard to imagine where the adoption==ownership dated from.
Yes, and they were still talking about that. The larger context, if you scroll up from your original post was about adoption. You seemed to have language issues from there since you didn't seem to understand the context you stepped into.
You're missing a lot of context to post off the cuff like you did. And in one way or another, it's likely that your country has had participated in the past or been subject to the depleting forces of adoption. Unfortunately, Marx didn't really write about that, so his ideas and this don't match.
I think what got to the adoptees when you posted was how you stepped in it without understanding that history or the implications, but I also think it was a language limitation. Even so, ADOPTION itself, erases a lot of the rights of the child. That's why Adoptees promote legal guardianship.
Industrialized adoption circa 1400's forwards is pretty much all dirty in some form or another and a game of not only ownership, but often taking advantage of socio-economic struggles and disasters to gain children, especially internationally. Guatemala is a premiere example in Latin Americas.
And personally, I think the third mistake you made was to think that adoption, outside of the United States is always clean and not child trafficking. Dating way back in time, Spain, often did some really horrible things to Latin Americas in terms of adoption.
The second mistake you made was confusing Marx definition of Libertarianism with property and trying to make a philosophical argument about adoption under it without understanding the wider history of adoption and foster care.
I think you confused the US Libertarian party for Libertarianism under Marx:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberta...
That was the first mistake. They were talking explicitly about the party, and you crossed some wires there.
Two separate incidents, but two entitled people started raising their voice at me and one tried to follow me because I did not answer them vocally in the exact way they wanted when they were strangers and I was only walking down the street holding a phone in my hands. WHY? What did I do, but exist?
He should remember that Al Capone donated to orphanages too.
Clearly referring to episode 1.8, but you sound like a bot since you're not responding to anything in my overall review.
Starting #YoungSherlock, I'm making bets they won't make him a Gay Ace like every queer person knows he is. By canon, it's explicitly stated that Sherlock is #ace. And every series is so afraid to not give him women and a love interest because then "How is he a man?" 🙄 Place your bets.
Explaining to kids the world wars.
WWI: I still don't understand how it happened.
WWII: That makes sense off of WWI.
WWIII: O.o;;;;; What? What. WHAT???
Also, they did put a lot of effort into making Worf's view on adoption mature with him on Discovery, but I kinda like this newest iteration showing what it could be rather than the older versions.
I did an essay once on ST, I didn't get to publish about adoption portrayal, so... I'm invested.
I kinda felt given the cycle of previous portrayals of adoption (TNG, for example with Worf) and fostering that this kinda felt like a more mature take than some of the earlier ones where adoption felt like it was more about serving the parents ONLY.
I watched Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, and in episode 7, they did a cooperative shared guardianship situation🥚. (Well, my read on it). I'm not sure how other adoptees/FFY felt about it. But I did like how the new experience didn't erase the old. What's your read? Did you see it differently?
The dream is one of the only flashes I have left where I can hear Eomma's voice... and hear my Maternal grandmother, but more I grasp it, the less I can remember.
For Kept it's the opposite, because there are echoes of support.
My head is flashing a place I am convinced is real and a part of Korea🥚. I saw it in a dream once and so convinced, I tried to find pictures of it after the fact, knowing where it was, and it matched. But I see the whole place in my head. I feel like Korea owns parts of me I can't explore.
That sounds like a hole lot of trouble.
Better punchline might be, "You think about the whole a lot."
Bad pun?
Also, stop putting your fogger/humidifier near a sunny window where it'll grow algae. You are weird. You need to breathe in algae? No, right? Stop putting it near a sunny window and then being confused why it gets dirty faster and stops working. Sun==evaporation.
Oh it was the cozy splatterpunk as if it were written by Brandon Sanderson and NK Jemisin one, I think. I forgot the rest of the brief. I think I put another twist in there.
How did you become an adult and not learn how to clean a humidifier? And what calcification looks like and know that if you leave that calcification, it'll break and clog? Also, if you use distilled or purified water, it'll operate better because the minerals are removed.
No one reads instructions.
