Ah, the confidence of the activist white liberal that "humanity" is the problem, and that there's nothing wrong with citing to "humanity" as an explanation for the state of the world when so many of the vast majority of humans aren't the ones who brought us here.
Coming off a phone call w/ roommate's friend who kept insisting that "humanity is insane". Didn't even have the space to check them on the ableism there, they were so committed to it being the fault of "humanity" that the United States is handling both climate and covid so badly.
Should have politely excused myself from conversation when they got to Australia "doing so much worse".

Or maybe when they started dropping credentials of all the letter writing and petitioning operations they're a member of.

White usaian liberals will liberal usaian white.
Thinking about how this bright spark was also confident that covid was created in a lab and Vibe'n was going to prove it.

This is what we're talking about when we say speak of bluemaga. Same script, different players.

Have thought much this week on how—from a quoicapitalist perspective—to address this query.

Here I shall endeavor to pour that stream of thoughts into a thread.

This's gonna be some 35 tweets, all told. There's quite a bit of terrain to cover to address the question posed here.
From quoicapitalist frame, this is less category of valuation than of dispossession.

Childcare represents an exchange of possibility of reproductive-power—distinct from & antecedent to producing value—for possibility of engaging in labor-power exchange.
