It’s similar to women who can’t leave their violent companion: they want to believe in something that does not exist, and will stretch their perception of reality to avoid admitting they’re wrong.
This analysis really fucking sucks lmao. Abuse also includes controlling access to structures of dependency (housing, food, money, social webs, children), so a lot of time in the immediate term and often long term it is a MUCH better value proposition to stay with abusers in the hope that they change.
Idk this is so victim blamey and misunderstanding.
wait, hold up. this looks like an access device. i think someone maybe wouldn't do this unless someone needed it for tremors, muscle control related disabilities, etc.
Most people don't have time to fritter on new tech, alt clients, etc. Honestly they're not stupid and I resent the implication--Reddit's just predatory. If we want an alternative to flourish, we gotta stop treating it like its a "smart people club" and being elitist about it
tbh seems like a lot of white neolibs who say "doesn't affect me personally". i do love the amount of organizing they can accomplish migrating to fedi but the moment racial justice comes up it's crickets sksksksk
as for why bring it to this space, uh... i saw the space existed & wanted to start that conversation. seems like mission accomplished!
The only way the red states will change is by getting worse and worse. They will have no doctors, teachers, nurses, lawyers, or corporations that will purposefully live or do their work there if they can help it. If you are a woman, a person of color, a migrant, an LGBTQ person, a child, or anything other than an old white man, the red states are no longer safe for you.
ah so if you're poor, taking care of loved ones, or otherwise unable to move, then your life is acceptable collateral damage? accelerationism has victims.
God that's an insufferable take, "if you don't like it, leave without saying anything"? This is one post. A single one! I think speaking my mind is ok, and clearly some folks agree with me here. I think it's a worthy discussion.
"Ignore and make your own" is honestly the most naive and spineless thing you can say. Imagine acting on that principle IRL, for instance, when people you consider your friends say or do something vile.
I really can't agree that the name is funny. It affiliates everyone who wants to gather and talk about PCs with so-called "race scientists" who genocide in the name of a so-called "master race". Can't imagine wanting to associate with that, but its horrifying that people think it's politically neutral to do so.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization) "master race" is definitionally about race and the use of that social categorization to commit genocide; the concept of race and so-called "race science" are not really funny tbh
i only say this because i don't think it's well documented, members only seem to get 1 invite per week iirc, so this is likely a big ask. good luck getting on there. OP!
