There was endless variations of this in pre Terran empire human societies, with just as much cultural diversity in penalties.

"Philanthropy" is an example of organized crime.

Jack the healer was guilty of it and executed by orders of Gandhi.

Murders where punished are characterized as X rulers "revenge" which is a legal catagory.

"Loyalty" "submission" however is another legal catagory that is positive/a "bad" thing in Terran Law.

Beetee not being executed is a major universe hole given his skill, zealotry, and activity. But Beetee having survived SOTR makes it likely that Beetee was constantly monitored.

Beetee got cuaght doing Rebel operations in the 49th games then did it again, the Capitol might deem it likely he will do even more.

Should they add a camera to his clothing, or track him with spy mutts and Beetee not notice he could get alot of Rebels killed.

Plutarch could easily get cuaght in a honeytrap.

Beetee, Wiress, Haymitch not revealing Plutarch involvement in the Rebel attack on the 50th arena is a very tall order already. Unless Plutarch only interacted with Victor Rebels via a courier he's already in hot water.

"In the mirror universe, Redjac was a malevolent, immortal entity responsible for history's most infamous murders. He was also known as Beratis, Kesla, and Jack the Ripper.

By the 2260s, Redjac possessed John Hengist, the administrator of Rigel III, and committed several murders, hiding the bodies in a series of shallow graves in a national park near Rigel III's capital. After investigators connected Hengist to the shallow graves, he confessed and told them about his possession, revealing that the entity had also been responsible for the killing sprees of Redjac, Beratis, Kesla, and Jack the Ripper. A fascinated public subsequently made him a celebrity and the Emperor granted him a rare license to kill."

With the great barrier, what's stopping the emperor trying to become a god?

What's stopping a power hungry Terran or Klingon from trying to consume the Galaxy like Vitiate?

Why didn't he spend a few months being interrogated on the rebel conspiracy in the 50th games? How would he have been able to resist interrogation for that long? How did Plutarch(or the person with the same name as Trilogy Plutarch) not get exposed? A similar question can be asked for Beetee and Wiress

It's weird, and creepy. Not enough discussion on how unhinged people openly fantasizing aborting autistic fetuses is.

TW: Genocide

Is their any definite time when Prenatal testing will be avaliable to further the long term eradication of Autistic populations?

In the past it was said there was a genocide clock https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-13-8437-0_9 Based on a 2000s statement that they can detect autism within 10 years. What is the clock on now?

Unlikely they would care or do anything about it. On the other hand they might try to stop the abortion from happening. I once worked in a tech internship,tech kids unlimitedwhere we made a website for a lawyer called disability doulas. he client claimed that Hospitals steal babies from mothers on basis of incapability. Haven't seen verification, when I suggested to her adding a list of hospitals for NDs to avoid, she didn't respond.

For the record, genetic testing is a bomb waiting to go off.

The Political Economy of Madness: A Historical Analysis of Asylum Labor, Institutional Peonage, and the Economics of Psychiatric Custody

Gemini research report

"For over a century and a half, the psychiatric asylum stood as a totalizing institution that wielded absolute, unchecked authority over its inmates. Enclosed behind high walls, massive iron gates, and sprawling agricultural acreage, these facilities were legally and socially empowered to confine, manage, and discipline the mentally ill, the developmentally disabled, and the socially undesirable. Yet, beneath the medical, paternalistic, and charitable rationales that justified their existence and rapid expansion, asylums were fundamentally massive economic engines. They operated as highly structured, self-sustaining micro-societies that relied almost entirely on the unpaid, coerced labor of the very people they were ostensibly designed to treat and protect^1."

I’m tired of being told Autism is a blessing. It’s a living hell. It’s like living life on ultra hard mode. There is not a day in my entire life where I haven’t suffered because of autism.

I mask the syndrome on a daily basis. If I told people of my condition I would likely be fired from my job because it’s not accepted in the country where I live. I don’t think it should be. I think it should be eliminated.

My father has Parkinson’s disease. I also would like that to be eliminated no matter the cost.

The First Few Days

Actions in this period would greatly affect the number of casualties and the amount of economic damage. Obviously, much damage would have been caused in the first hour. Many people trapped in the rubble could be rescued, would be seriously injured but could survive with medical care or first aid, would be able to seek shelter or evacuate, could prepare hasty fallout shelters, could improve existing shelters, and so on. Some industries would be damaged but not destroyed; if small fires were extinguished, undamaged equipment hardened against blast, exposed equipment protected from rust, and so on, more resources would be available for recovery. Likewise, farms could harvest crops, shelter livestock, and protect harvested crops in the few days before fallout deposition.

The issue is not what could be done but what would be done. Proper use of time—organization and prioritization to get the most important tasks done with the least wasted effort and resources — would be critical. The Soviet system offers a major advantage in this period. As we noted in the case of a counter force attack, the Government's role in this crisis would be more clearly defined, and its control over individual action and the economy would be much stronger than that of the US Government in a comparable situation. Its experience with central planning and a command economy would be good preparation for the actions needed — decisions involving large shifts in behavior and resources, obeyed without argument. Its decisions would save some people and industries and condemn others, but delay in order to make better decisions could easily condemn more. Evacuation would have to be ordered in this period, or else would-be evacuees would have to wait until radiation had reached safe levels. For cities damaged only slightly, evacuation would prove difficult but not impossible. With many rail yards and some key bridges out, it would be difficult to get trains to smaller cities. Destruction of petroleum refineries, some petroleum storage capacity (especially that located in rail marshalling yards that were attacked), and some electric power generators, would further impede evacuation by train. Fallout contours would be difficult to predict, so it would be hard to select the best evacuation routes and relocation centers. An attack in winter would add other problems.

Survivors in Soviet cities would face the same severe problems as those in U.S. cities. Many would be injured, trapped in rubble, irradiated with initial nuclear radiation, etc. Many shelters would be destroyed or damaged. Power would be out, so water pressure would be too low for fighting fires. Rubble would impede rescue.

Undamaged areas, especially those not threatened by heavy fallout, would face severe burdens. They would receive many evacuees in the first few days, would send rescue teams and resources to devastated areas, and would strive to produce as much as possible. Evacuees in undamaged areas would be pressed into work in fields and factories, and would be sheltered in public buildings or private homes. The performance of undamaged areas would thus largely determine the nation's ability to prosecute the war and to achieve economic viability. The Government would, however, face a dilemma in how to use resources surviving in undamaged areas: it could maximize current production, leaving workers and resources vulnerable to further attacks, or it could seek to protect workers and resources, thus reducing current production. The specific choices would depend on the likelihood of further attacks, criticality of various products, and so forth, but the dilemma would stand.

An all-out attack would exacerbate the inefficiencies that Soviet industry has in peace time. The Government would have to decide what it needed to have produced, and whether the factories existed to have them produced. The Government would have far more difficulty correlating inputs and outputs and arranging for their transportation. It would have to assign people to jobs, and arrange to transport, shelter, and care for workers. Many workers would be sick, in shelters, killed, traumatized, or debilitated by radiation sickness. However, the Government would probably be able to control what movement of people did take place. Even in peacetime, the Government has very high control over mobility. People are not in the habit of going anywhere without permission, and everyone’s actions must be justified and accounted for. There is little independent travel. The internal passport system strengthens these controls. In wartime, the Government would presumably strengthen its control of transportation. People would have nowhere to go where they could be sure of shelter from fallout unless the Government arranged their transportation and shelter. This control would help the Government maintain economic organization following attack.

The First Few Hours

As Chapter III notes, Soviet civil defense can have substantial impact on the full range of effects. Fallout shelters, blast shelters, and industrial hardening can reduce the overall damage from nuclear attack. First aid and civil defense training can ameliorate health problems. Storing supplies in shelters lengthens shelter stay time. Thus, the issue is how well Soviet civil defense would in fact work. Many unknowns—number of shelters, amount of food and medicine stockpiles, smaller amounts of surplus resources than the United States–prevent a judgment in detail. It seems safe to assume, however, that Soviet civil defense measures would be at least as effective as U.S. measures and probably better.

Preattack preparations would have a decided influence on damage caused. Since a U.S. retaliatory attack is by definition preceded by a Soviet first strike, it would seem logical that some evacuation would have occurred. However, there are reasons why evacuation might not have taken place. These include the following Soviet concerns: an evacuation could increase the risk of a U.S. attack; the U.S. attack might be so close at hand that an evacuation could increase casualties; a prolonged evacuation might be such an economic disruption that it would be better to wait until war appeared certain; or war through miscalculation. In any event, a Soviet decision to strike first would allow the Soviets to make preparations—distribute supplies, improve and stock shelters, increase production of essential goods, harvest grain, protect livestock, conduct civil defense training, harden industrial facilities, and so on. These actions would also make Soviet citizens more responsive to civil defense instructions, especially to a warning that an attack was underway. While these actions would be observed by the United States, they would be more ambiguous than an evacuation, so the United States could see them as safeguarding against an attack rather than preparing for one.

The effects of evacuation in reducing casualties could be diluted to some extent by varying U.S. attack strategy. Spreading the attack over a period of time could extend shelter periods, enhance economic disruption, and delay rescue and emergency operations

The Soviet Union, despite its vast geographical size, is vulnerable to an urban/industrial attack in many of the same ways as the United States. Although there has been extensive publicity on their reported dispersal of industry, indications are that population and industry are becoming more and more concentrated. While some industries may have been moved away from cities, many others have been built near cities. Indeed, some of the industries recently built away from cities are themselves so concentrated that they form new targets of their own. Hedrick Smith describes

^("The Kama River Truck Plant as an archetype of the gigantomania of Soviet planners, as a symbol of the Soviet faith that bigger means better and the Soviet determination to have the biggest at any cost. Kama is the kind of massive crash project that appeals to Russians. It emanates brute strength. In 1971, Soviet construction brigades started from scratch to build the world’s largest truck plant in the open, rolling, wind-swept plains about 600 miles east of Moscow Kama was not just one factory but six, all huge. The production complex, costing in the billions, occupies 23 square miles, an area larger than the entire island of Manhattan. At full capacity, Kama is slated to produce 150,000 heavy trucks and 250,000 diesel engines a year, dwarfing anything in Detroit or the German Ruhr.")

The attack could cause “derussification.” The U.S.S.R. is a nation of nationalities, of which Great Russians — who dominate politics, industry, and much else— comprise about 48.5 percent of the population. Most Great Russians live in cities, so an attack would reduce their numbers and influence. Derussification could weaken Great Russians’ control of the U. S. S. R., with unforeseeable consequences.

Timing makes a critical difference in destruction. An attack at night would have people with their families and more dispersed; they would seek shelter in apartment buildings. An attack during the day would strike people at factories and offices; to the extent they left to find family members, chaos would result as in the United States, but to the extent they sought shelter at work, they would be organized by economic task. Such an organization would be useful for postattack recovery

An attack in winter would expose more people to bitter cold and impede evacuation; an attack in spring or fall, when many roads are made impassable by mud, would hinder evacuation by motor vehicle. An attack near harvest time could result in the loss of an entire year's crop, thus leaving food reserves at a low point. This effect could be magnified if the United States attacked agricultural targets, such as storage silos, dams, and drainage facilities.

Even time of month makes a difference because of the Soviet practice of “storming.” The Soviet factory month in practice divides into three periods: “sleeping,” the first 10 days; “hot” work, the second 10; and “feverish” work, the third. This division occurs because the economic plan calls for a specified output from each plant by the end of the month, but the inputs needed often arrive only after the 15th or 20th of the month. Thus, perhaps 80 percent of a factory’s output is produced in the last 10 or 15 days of the month. (This 80 percent is typically of such reduced quality that Soviet consumers often refuse to buy merchandise made after the 20th of a month. ) Hypothetically, an attack around the 15th or 20th of a month would cause the loss of most of a month’s production, and would destroy the large inventory in factories of partially completed goods and of inputs that cannot be used until other inputs arrive.

On the other hand, the U.S.S.R. has several strengths. Cities are in general less flammable than U.S. cities, as there are more large apartment buildings and fewer wood frame houses. These buildings would also provide better shelter, especially those that have shelters built in. People would expect to follow instructions and would be less likely to evacuate spontaneously. The Party apparatus would probably survive with a far lower casualty rate than the population at large because it is well distributed and because blast shelters have been constructed for party members. Russians are likely to be less traumatized by shelter conditions, as they are more accustomed to austerity and crowding. The nation is larger, which in theory provides more land area over which people could relocate, but much of the area is mountain, desert, or arctic.

22 Years later what are all our thoughts on this?

Autists are identified as different, with the diagnosis and groups tailoring them, this has enabled self acceptance among many but many NDs stake their whole being on what NTs think of them. Nuerodiversity, aims to change minds get accommodations ect.

How fickle is their opinion, and staking everything on it while giving them absolute power over you? Public opinion in general is notoriously fickle.

How many ways could they screw over autistic people without a second thought?

How many of us were incarcerated pre-Reagan, how many younger autists would have been institutionalized had they been born before Reagan, what were the odds of it happening back then? Out of 100 autistic people how many would've been institutionalized?

How many of us were incarcerated pre-Reagan, how many younger Aspies would have been institutionalized had they been born before Reagan, what were the odds of it happening back then? Out of 100 autistic people how many would've been institutionalized?

While Nuerodiversity and many autistics, places hope on NT society accepting us, how fickle is said acceptance?
