/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • ["could" news] The Virginia democrats could overturn the redistricting ruling by lowering the retirement age to - for example - 54 which will retire the supreme court. The age now is 73. [more inside]

  • Or they could just ignore it like Republicans always do.

  • Happy Piccolo day to all who celebrate!

  • The Supreme Court can make up whatever bullshit they want. They just gutted the Voting Rights Act, why not this too?

  • Writers Are Going to Extremes to Prove They Didn’t Use AI

    Jump

  • And yet they don't.

    Yeah, they could do that. AI writers are so fucking lazy that they don't even bother.

  • Republicans claim widespread food stamp fraud. What's missing? Evidence.

    Jump

  • The "fraud" they're talking about is Black people being allowed to access food.

  • Iran has hit far more U.S. military assets than reported, satellite images show

  • Another stellar post from reddit.world

  • Heh,

  • But this is part of white privilege: white people can not be subjected to racism for being white. That's half the point.

  • Heh,

  • Poor white people, they have it so hard :<

  • Doctors Confirm Rudy Giuliani In Liquid But Stable Condition

  • He melted into a puddle, but he's doing fine otherwise.

  • 2026 tech layoffs accelerate: AI, automation drive 80,000+ job cuts in Q1

    Jump

  • The dream is deskilling, not necessarily making workers faster or more efficient. Instead of relying on highly skilled employees who have tons of leverage because of their experience and education, they'd be able to just put anyone on the keyboard to review and troubleshoot the chatbot's outputs. They essentially want coding to require as much skill as any other assembly line work.

  • Trump news at a glance: six in 10 Americans say president is doing a bad job

    Jump

  • Actually, Trump got 49.9% of the vote.

  • It'd be like that Futurama episode when Fry is stung by the space bee, and the singer just kinda goes through without poisoning him.

    Jump

  • Or: a recession is driving job cuts and AI is being used to distract investors from bad economic conditions.

  • What are the lumpenproletariat?

    Jump

  • Right, and white supremacy is an outgrowth of the colonial situation as well. It's how the colonizers are kept elevated above the colonized. Fanon again: In the colonies the economic infrastructure is also a superstructure. The cause is effect: You are rich because you are white, you are white because you are rich.

  • The moral priorities of the average American

    Jump

  • Maybe it's different for you, but people don't always choose to care about things. Rather, it is something that happens to us, so I don't choose to care about the screaming and bleeding of pigs as I run them over with a lawnmower. It's forced on me by my empathy, it was never a choice. I suppose I could choose to care about the grass, but it doesn't happen on its own.

    That's why slaughterhouse work is associated with higher rates of self harm, violence, addiction, alcoholism, overdose, abuse, depression, and suicide. Slaughterers don't choose to care about the animals they kill, it just happens to them. Sometimes they become so psychically wounded that they stop caring, but after that they lose the ability to care about anyone else either.

    Neither do I choose to care if you live or die. It just happens. Unfortunately.

    I do choose to block you, though, because you're going to hurt me again if I don't. I wonder why you chose to hurt me?

  • You've stopped short of engaging with the actual problem: why should I choose to care about whether you live or die?

  • What are the lumpenproletariat?

    Jump

  • It's basically the theory that underlies Black nationalism and internationalism; racism is based in an economic system whereby colonized peoples may be superexploited in their ghettos and through prison labor and with unequal application of the law. The colonial situation is what creates upper and lower racial castes in the first place, and that racial caste aligns them more or less with the colonial situation or against it. There are also compradores who are elevated above their racial caste for their usefulness towards the colonial project, and in the era of neocolonialism they're even elevated to positions in government.

    It's sort of a political project to unite the Black liberation struggle with other anti-imperialist liberation struggles around the world.
