Got a love electoralist politics and hierarchical power structures. All of society being controlled by the outcome of the lowest common denominator. Such a wonderful system, ain’t it? (/s)

Those “positions of power” only have power because we collectively “agree” to concede to their authority.

We could always collectively organize to do something else … but that means effort and risk needs to be taken. Sadly, in my experience, not enough people are ready and willing to take those risks . . . yet.

This is such a fucking cheeky pun I cannot even be mad at it.

Jork it.

George Boole introduced Boolean algebra, not Charles. Charles, according to this site on the Boole family, he had a career in management of a mining company.

the man you’re thinking of is, I believe, George Boole, the inventor of Boolean algebra.

Was able to do it for half a year. Then the contract ended and all they had was a job working 4 hours Sat/Sun.

Filed “constructive dismissal” & “loss of hours/pay” for unemployment and walked on em. Oh that was glorious telling that cunt of a supervisor to drive his own ass to my house to get the keys cause fuck wasting more of my gas to bring it to their office two cities away.

Climbed the fences at the state fair with some friends.

Found out I could GPS spoof my signal for my work app due to faulty security measures. I could sign into it, enable the spoof app, then “start” my round and repeat when I need to log that I “visited” a location. It was for a security guard gig at a shitty company. Exploitative practices and low pay, literally no days off, had to use my vehicle but no gas or maintenance reimbursement. So, I said fuck em. It was during COVID, the position had no oversight, and they had already fucked me twice over before. All the buildings were empty anyway. I just checked in on them when I felt and fibbed all the logs for what they actually wanted from me.

Oh you mean the online topic shit the establishment keeps trying to force feed us. Yea, people need to stop biting that hook. It only legitimizes it like you said.

When I read “ignore their bullshit” I thought you meant taking the Enlightened Centrist™ stance of “turn the other cheek and let them tire out. Don’t start a scene cause it will disturb everyone” type nonsense, as if what they spout isn’t disturbing in itself.

I have some criticisms of how some of the points were made but none that are exactly relevant to the current topic. So, I’ll just say that I don’t fully agree with what is said here.

Nonetheless, the ending, main point is still in agreement.

“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented”. —Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and famous author

The issue with ignoring them is they, as well as those being targeted by the oppressive rhetoric, will take the silence as tacit approval. Those who espouse it will be encouraged to further push boundaries of what is tolerable while the victims will be made to feel unsafe existing in public.

This is the point of the “Nazi Bar” story where you kick people out at the first sign of it 'cause, if you don’t and just ignore them, they’ll soon begin to bring all their friends who espouse much worse rhetoric and, soon after that, suddenly you find yourself running the local Nazi Bar as they made everyone else feel unsafe and ran them off, which was their goal from the beginning.

I don’t want them to succeed in their goal.

Yes, it might be effective in getting a rise out of them sometimes to ignore them to their face, but I don’t care about them or their reaction. I care about the people around us who have to listen and be made to feel unsafe existing in the community and to let those people know that there are others in the community who will stand up for them and be willing to put themselves at risk for their sake; to know with confidence that, when push comes to shove, we will stand beside them.

It is an incredibly niche part of the gender nonconformity movement in that some nonbinary individuals don’t want to use the neutral “they”, and instead want unique pronouns such as “xi/xir” or some such.

I personally don’t agree with it. I’ll just continue to use the singular “they”, as it is gender neutral and works independently of where the individual being referred to sits on the gender spectrum, or use their name, as it is already the unique designation to refer to the specific individual.

I don’t really care what they think. If that’s the hill they want to die on, then let them fucking die.

The point of dissenting isn’t to convince them. It is to stand in their way and say “you’re gonna quit this bullshit or we are gonna fucking make you.”

Of fucking course it’s a Trump appointed judge who taught the class and gave out the reward.

Students need to riot until the reward is rescinded and, preferably, the Judge who taught the class is removed from the position. Make both of those motherfuckers terrified to show their faces on campus. Nazi pieces of shit.

Fuck the weak ass interim dean for trying to defend this on the grounds of “we have to remain neutral. He has the right to free speech”. Fuck that “we must tolerate the intolerant” bullshit.

Thankfully, good news, the student was exposed for espousing Nazi rhetoric on Twitter and was subsequently suspended and is barred from campus. He is trying to challenge the suspension which is putting him at risk of expulsion. I fucking hope they throw the book at this Nazi fuck.
