* 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." >>

'As social hierarchies have shifted from primarily fighting-based to increasingly alliance-based strategies over evolutionary time, neural control of status has, thus, transitioned from subcortical social behaviour circuits to a more elaborated critical network in humans.'

#ActuallyAutistic #SocialHierarchy

As a fat balding bi trans woman it's isolating and demoralizing that #queerjacketing and #bodyshaming are still acceptable rhetorical devices among all types of liberals, leftists, and #feminists. The underlying assumption is still that being like me is disgusting and shameful. 1/9
