Coercion in adventure therapy - Conference workshop

My accepted abstract for the 10th International Adventure Therapy conference in Taiwan

We will discuss the slippery slope of coercive practice and question whether academics who accept/enable human rights violations should present at conferences

She's not doing this for us

She only sees their base, which has zero critical reasoning ability

This rubbish is effective for her audience. They suck it up

This is frightening

I am an ocean away but have been digging into far right & Christo Dom beliefs aside to my academic research

This stuff confirms their anger and fear. There is an absence of critical thinking to help them question when their beliefs are on a loop

This is their normal

Base fear/anger up is the aim

I think the military, particularly the Army in that parade, have made their loyalty quite clear

He is not their idol

What are they expecting to happen?

They must have a plan to not return,

or to return under entirely different conditions; martial law v Trump deposed.

Are those their choices??

Nobel, no

Interpol, yes

Watch Netflix's Shiny Happy People, The Program, & The Wilderness to see this in USA youth programs

Happens elsewhere, but nowhere as commonly

Was talking with wonderful US trauma therapists today who were surprised human rights are fundamental in Australian youth services

Human Rights stop this

The USA has put into law 4 of 9 core human rights conventions

I think that is less than the majority of members nations

It shows, in this footage

Leaders of the free world? Not really

Commit as in to a forensic psychiatric facility. He is in their own reality, and dangerous

The Antifa leader is easily identified

Graham Pringle 'Emu' PhD @grahampringle.bsky.social · 1d

Antifa are not human

Fox and Murdoch

Perhaps some rules around disinformation might be useful when this mess is getting cleaned up

Free (accurate, and not hate) speech

Totally. No sympathy for Trump.

I am more scared of those behind him, and wonder what will happen if he is removed soon.

Will they collapse in on themselves?

Will someone replace him?

Will outside actors enter the stage overtly?

Not to avoid, but to prepare. Hoping for option #1

She is not the attorney general – she's Trump's attorney.

"There is a quote, 'don't judge a book by its cover,'" she [Miah] said.

"But I like to change it and say, 'don't judge a young person by their behaviour,' because unless you've [lived] it you don't know what they're going through."

How many Islamic advisors did they consult, to understand the ramifications of this?

Graham Pringle 'Emu' PhD @grahampringle.bsky.social · 3d

I agree

Yet they do not care

Answering any question angers them, as they have contempt for democratic institutions

They will not change

Who holds govt to account when they disregard rules, and no-one can enforce the normal rules?

Feeling uneasy

You are correct. Trump is a tool, not the problem. His handlers are the ones to watch. He is a soggy distraction

The pasta should have a statue, a public holiday, and a thousand vengeful BlueSky posts

Spelling is deliberate. There are no gods, but he is well intentioned, so more power to him

Dear me, there are no gods! What a knuckle drager

Make no mistake.

The recent incursions in our skies are part of a pattern of growing threats.

It’s time to call it by its name.
This is hybrid warfare.

Europe must get the capacity to respond and protect our skies.

Work has begun.
