Loss - the belief in progress and the reality of experiences of loss.

* The role of loss within society
Andreas Reckwitz 's book 'Loss, A Modern Predicament, The first comprehensive study of the role of loss within society", 2025 explains loss not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a sociological one.

"Loss has come to occupy a central position in late modernity – whether in the consequences of climate change or the entrenchment of negative expectations about the future, the ‘losers’ of post-industrial modernisation or the collective processing of ‘historical wounds’ and of who is acknowledged as the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, in a heightened psychological awareness of vulnerability, in political populism, a nostalgia for things past, or programmes of resilience."

"Loss is the bread and butter of populism." >>

Unsheltered in the wide open spaces

Unhoused in Australia: "‘A sobering indictment’: 14 homeless people die a year in public parks or countryside in Australia, analysis finds:"

"Between 2010 and 2020, 54 rough sleepers died in public parks, the analysis shows. Eighty-five homeless Australians died in countryside areas – including in bushland, desert, beaches and riverbanks – in the same period...It is a sobering indictment of societal abandonment and systemic failure." >>

"More veterans die by suicide every two days than were killed in action in 2019."

Dean Spade: "Where there are U.S. military bases, there is intense sexual and gender-based violence. This includes sexual violence towards women living near military bases, towards sex workers of all genders, towards women inside the U.S. military, and harassment and sexual violence towards people perceived as weak or as gay or as trans. This is just a normal part of what U.S. militarism is. It's inseparable from the culture. Rape as a tactic of U.S. militarism is as old as U.S. militarism itself, going all the way back to the systemic rape of Indigenous people to colonize and settle North America."

"Trans inclusion in the military, like marriage equality, does nothing to redistribute wealth, stop police violence, housing and health care crises plaguing queer and trans communities."

“When it comes to trans advocacy, we want to ask what reforms will save trans people’s lives. The answers are clear: access to housing, income, food, childcare, health care. Military inclusion advocacy does not make the list.”

"What is effective and pragmatic is whatever reduces contact with the police".

The Case Against LGBTQ+ Military Inclusion, Explained

Sylvia Rivera Law Project founder Dean Spade explains why LGBTQ+ activists on the left have long resisted attempts to cast queer and trans inclusion in the military as a step toward liberation.

Oh, what a surprise! Last night, every single television channel decided it was the perfect time to ignore reality and throw us a grand party instead of addressing widespread conflicts, wars, more fascism and injustices.

Hopefully, Spain’s channels have outdone themselves today; announcing that instead of a decent incomes people will get to enjoy the delightful gift of more inflation.
Isn’t that just fantastic 2025?

Every basic needs and more…, will be joyfully skyrocketing in price!
Now -that- is the news we just couldn't wait to hear.

Precarious work and mental health

In this opinion, requested by the upcoming Spanish presidency of the EU, the EESC is exploring the consequences of precarious working conditions on the mental health of workers. The Committee: strongly upholds the evidence showing that precarious work increases the chances of worker´s mental health deteriorating and it is incompatible with the achievement of SDGs in the EU: it is a public health issue that has to be eradicated stresses that combating work-related psychosocial risks at the source, using organisational interventions to reshape working conditions, is an essential first step in promoting mental health in the workplace as has highlighted by WHO and ILO proposes adopting specific EU legislation on preventing psychosocial risk as well as developing and modernising the current directive on occupational safety and health
