Tweets on Rankism and Dignity
I’ve been trying to put the idea of rankism, and its antidote, dignity, in the form of tweets. Here are some that I’ve posted at Twitter:
# Nobodies of the world unite! We have nothing to lose but our shame.
# What is rankism? Briefly: http://bit.ly/qz3yO. In depth: http://dignity4all.org. Rankism creates indignity, & indignity creates indignation.
# If we establish the right to die with dignity, can we not also establish right to live in dignity: healthcare, higher ed, living wage 4 all?
# Rankism is to mental health as pollution is to physical health. Living with chronic rankism is as bad as smoking 3 pks of cigarettes a day.
# During the 21st century, humankind will retire its ancient strategy of preying on the weak & adopt a new survival strategy–dignity for all.
# Dignity works in prison. A dignitarian community model in Virginia lowers recidivism rate from 50 to 5%. http://bit.ly/1aqE5E
# Dignitarian politics is a synthesis of libertarian and egalitarian politics that can deliver on social justice. http://www.dignity4all.org
