WHERE TO GET THE BOOK: http://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=F6B31A8DAFD6BD39A5986833E66293E6
PRIOR THREADS:
So, it’s been a minute. Apologies. Life has been overwhelming me lately. School, work, more failed attempts at dating, etc. Please be patient, I have autism (probably) 
I was also reading Devon Price’s new book, Unlearning Shame. Definitely recommend. He dismantles shame as a social construct of behavioral reinforcement and the undergirding of the lie that is rugged individualism, and prescribes the cure of building community and understanding social interconnectedness on a deep level. Made me re-examine just how much shame is woven into the fabric of the way I conduct myself and hoo boy it’s a lot. I blame my Catholic upbringing.
Anyway, I figured before I dive back into the next chapter it’d be nice to get caught up and see where everyone is at. Share your thoughts here, ask questions, get caught up. I want to make a new post next week but first I have to write an informative speech and then an essay about some story or another
Let’s cut down on the decision paralysis with some discussion questions:
- What’s new with you, neurodiversity-wise, since the last thread?
- Any points of contention, confusion, or questions from prior chapters?
- Post any thoughts specific to the last chapters that you didn’t get to share before.
Tag post to follow.
@[email protected] this book has almost 100 holds on it at my library system haha
Just steal it off the Internet
Dr. Price would legit support you
Is it confirmed that he doesn’t mind piracy? I hesitate to tell people where they can grab it and personally plan on buying it post-read once I’m back on my feet and can afford it.
His new book all but states that communism is the solution to systemic shame so even without looking it up I was pretty sure yeah
It feels very much like he’s in the leftist camp so I can’t say I’d be surprised if he came out as communist tbh.
A recent post from his blog: https://freedium.cfd/https://devonprice.medium.com/staying-in-the-fight-without-burning-out-autistic-tips-for-organizing-f53da9e882c0
I found a post where he thanks people who pirated the book, and his Medium automatically includes links to a Freedium mirror, so all good, I think. I did buy Unmasking after first reading it from LibGen.
He’s a real chad lol. That’s cool!
Well, at least you actually patronize your local library.
They’re great, though of course, not always convenient.
@[email protected] Way too B&N-ified! I have no idea why I thought they would have anti-imperialist historians who talk about world systems. Nope, mainly Stephen Pinker in the political economy area. UGH! However you do get https://NakedCapitalism.com/ book club types such as Mike Hudson and Ha Joon Chang, who give you the best way to speak to liberals.
B&N?
Edit: Oh, I think you mean Barnes & Noble lol
