Million-plus redcrits… Mother of Lua

Amerika, where else? Land of the white, trap of the enslaved.

I’m trapped in settler-hell, constantly profiled any time I leave the house, and am expected to be polite and cordial at all times to said settlers who pull this shit. Then I come online and have to deal with even more settler horseshit from people who’re supposed to be my ‘comrades’. Or at least, people who want me to see them that way when there is nothing shown nor proven regarding their works.

And there’s always going to be that constant lurking worry in the back of my head that if I leave my home solo dolo, I might never come home if a settler pig decides he doesn’t like the look of the phone in my hand, the cane keeping me balanced, or just the texture of my hair.

I genuinely despise this life. I don’t know how to love the crucible the god that made me put me in. Even the fleeting moments of beauty carve another piece out of my heart because I have to remember it won’t last, and as soon as that moment is over, the metaphorical, spirit-withering flames of the settler-hell in which I live will engulf me once again. I can’t tell if it’s meant to purge my impurities, or if it’s just meant to render me useless slag anymore.

Honestly, I haven’t been given a reason to believe it’s anything but willing complicity with the regime yet.

I wish I could trust that these STEMlord techbros were doing it for the right reasons. Which is to say I wish I could trust that the critical mass of specifically white Amerikan techbros weren’t some of the most hideously racist specimens to ever walk the field. Every firm, shop, or what have you I’ve ever worked in, I’ve had to hear the most vile shit about H1B workers, the whole “i HaD tO tRaIn My RePlAcMeNt” bullshit that typically leads into a racist screed when said replacement wasn’t another white Amerikan man; and honestly?

Ten years into the general field, and I still honestly believe they’d say/do the same shit about me, “movement” or no.

Scratch a techbro, a lolbert bleeds

significates

Nice word-a-day calender, creepazoid

Annnnnnnd we’re done. Y’know, it’s hilarious: this is the exact kind of thing I expect a theftbox moderator to leave alone.

Good looking out; I wasn’t even THINKING about modlogging this guy 'cause I really only took him for the average techbro

More fools me ig lmfao

What the unholy fuck

But they can be checked and balanced by other moderators unless it’s a one mod/one admin system; in which case then it’s just a personal fief. Where’s the checks and/or balances for theftbox moderation?

Y’know, if I had a physical watch, I’d be looking at my wrist really condescendingly right now.

Ain’t that always the case in this fuck of a region. Crackers prefer a frozen, ossified, negative peace. Me and mine prefer liberation; and that is the chief contradiction in Amerika.

What if it worked 90%? It doesn’t need to be perfect, just better.

An injustice against one of us is an injustice against all of us. 90% isn’t good enough. Hell, 99% isn’t good enough.

I actually have a Black-led, Black-issue-focused organization to clique up with now, rather than spending another five years getting talked over by “we don’t have a race problem in this country”-assed white Amerikans. Forever a plus in my books; I don’t intend to go back.

Moderation is work. Trolls traumatize. Humans powertrip.

Correct.

All this could be resolved via AI.

Incorrect, for all the same reasons that facial recognition in ‘AI’ is unethical. All theftboxes adversarial networks are built by humans, most of whom in the ‘AI’ space come standard-equipped with built in racist biases. You see it all the time in facial recognition algorithms that couldn’t tell the difference between a hundred Black people if you ran 'em all side by side. The same thing would happen with AI moderators; they will more likely than not moderate to right-wing white sensibilities, over-target and powertrip on ethnic minorities, and only really contribute to the general ‘apartheid-supporter’ vibe that most of the western internet has.

tl;dr please stop going to bat for theftboxes and the techbro STEMlords who build them.

Prick-assed ghoul if you’re gonna argue for “the right for Israel to exist” then genocide isn’t a red line for you either

I’d like to wish all Israeli “advocates for existence” a very merry go get your headtop shoved back by a sovereign Palestinian. You want to carry genocider water, go do it IRL so I can watch you get turned into a salsa bowl in a resistance upload.

Of course not, that’s what linoleum is for

But we’re not supposed to want these healthcare giant CEOs on mortuary slabs, huh…

Bet the pig motherfucker doesn’t recuse, either. ACAB, yes, judges and prosecutors too.

Good. No more thieving colonizers in the motherland. AFRICOM next.
