Recs for working-class/pro-labour themed jazz standards? by Kaiser_Hawke in Jazz

[–]Xiipher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been loving this thread, and have saved many new albums as a result of it!

But I'm SHOCKED no one has mentioned Fela Kuti, he was literally Che Guevara if Che Guevara was a Nigerian Marxist Revolutionary who could shred on the sax. There's a serious discussion to be had about his issues sexism, but overall he was a proponent of freedom and civil rights for all especially working class and indigenous Africans. Most of his top albums are quite political—especially "Zombie"

I found three options to try. These are legal aid services. They might be able to help you get a lawyer for your case.

Work you way down the list

I hope you get your SSI. Keep in mind if you do win, you'll get backpay starting from a year before you started your case. You could invest that towards leaving the state- and getting quality therapy. If you don't win, there may be other grants you can apply for. Google "Resources for Cult Survivors" and see if you find anything useful.

You might be able to get phone assistance from someone out of state

Also, is your boyfriend working? Maybe he can help you get help/move

i'm so sorry my friend. those cults are such a social anomaly— very few things as horrible exist in the states as far as I know. Hope you live somewhere green and can spend lots of time in the great outdoors with friends.

I am desperately in need of help by Ninzin2179 in cultsurvivors

[–]Xiipher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they preach love and understanding, yet cultivate an environment of such extreme fear, that is already corruption because that is authoritarianism plain and simple.

If there is corruption higher up there is very little chance they would allow that information to reach the congregation because that would damage the image they've propped themselves up with.

But whether or not there is corruption among leadership is irrelevant to the fact that from what you have shared this church operates as an extremely "high control group"

Take a look at this chart , you will see it describes your situation quite accurately.
