Trivial Einstein<p>Are we still allowed to say that white people should have to die to fix the climate crisis, or is that climate eugenics? <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p>
Trivial Einstein<p>Oh comfortable white liberals, no one is coming for you yet. They don't have the infrastructure. Stay in your lane. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p>
Trivial Einstein<p>You've never heard of Dachau before? My brother in Christ, I... don't even know what to say. I am aghast. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p>
Trivial Einstein<p>Oh honey, they're not going to keep those "illegals" they're "concentrating" sitting around doing nothing. They're going to sell their labor (read: them) to private contractors who will soon have those "concentrated" (read: enslaved) people doing exactly the same thing they were doing before they were concentrated, only without paying them, with no oversight, and with no choice in the matter.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p><p>No, but seriously, that's the endgame here. Arbeit macht frei. There will probably be extermination camps too, for the unprofitable, but the Nazis worked a lot of people to death and if you don't think that's in the playbook for our current iteration, I have a bridge I can let you have at cost.</p><p>And the thing is, folks, they're already doing it. And I know it pains you to have to realize this, but it's perfectly legal. Anything you allow them to do to prisoners, they'll eventually get around to doing to you. Slavery is still legal. The Thirteenth Amendment says, and I quote:</p><p>Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, *except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted,* shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.</p><p>(emphasis mine)</p><p>Why do you think minorities, particularly Black men, are disproportionately represented in the prison population? Why do you think "For-Profit Prisons" (read: plantations) are a thing? Why does the United States have a prison population which dwarfs other countries?</p><p>So no, your vegetables are still going to get picked. There might be some initial disruption as the system kicks into gear, but you'll have to shoulder the burden for that just like you've shouldered the burden for other "supply-line disruption" (read: corporate profit margin expansion) in the past. Hell, given this country's treatment of its indentured worker population (read: undocumented laborers) in the past, for some of them I doubt the situation will change all that much, at least at first.</p><p>At first.</p><p>By all means, get up in arms about this. This is a big step on the road to Auschwitz-Birkenau. We're basically already at Auschwitz, we just haven't quite gotten to the extermination camp part yet. We will though. Useless mouths can't be allowed.</p><p>Not to mention that our modern-day fash are gloves-off. They don't give a flying fuck whether Johnny Poor gets his vegetables, particularly since most Johnny Poors have thrown in their lot with fascism because of bigotry. If you're expecting a come-to-Jesus moment for the poor white bigots of this country when prices get higher, I regret to inform you that past history doesn't give you much ground to stand on in that regard. Johnny Poor has cheerfully voted against his own self-interest in order to fuck brown people for as long as there's been a goddamn country. Johnny Poor is going to march willingly to the camps just as long as he can see a Black queer woman ahead of him in line at the gas chamber.</p><p>Sorry.</p>

Different Than<p>Worldview:</p><p>"People deserve respect. Ideas do not."<br>-- (some guest lecturer in an undergrad class a long time ago)</p><p>It is my responsibility, if I want to be a decent human being, to treat you with respect, dignity, and kindness except (perhaps1 ) to the extent your behavior prompts a different response. This applies no matter who I think you are from my limited information, even if I think you're a racist, anti-LGBTQIA+, pro-genocide fascist. If those labels are not based on anything you've said or done, a decent human will still treat you with respect and kindness. </p><p>Ideas2 do not get any respect; the opposite, in fact. Ideas must prove their worth or be ignored. Ideas should be aggressively examined with careful, logical, moral thinking and, if relevant, with empirical data. To the extent they survive these ongoing tests, they get "respect," but it is always temporary. Ideas can (and should) be downgraded or thrown out often if they fail tests or if new information casts them in unfavorable light.</p><p>This applies to <em>all</em> ideas: eugenics, CRT, imperialism, Christianity, Buddhism, capitalism, socialism, fiscal policies, school board bylaws, etc.</p><p>Humans who believe bad3 things can (and should) still be treated with dignity and kindness unless such treatment leads to greater harm for others. This does not mean, however, that I need to pretend their ideas are OK. I can be basically kind and decent to a person while thinking (and maybe saying4 ) that their ideas are wrong, immoral, unhelpful, etc. If they get upset at this, it's understandable, but managing those feelings is beyond my responsibility.</p><p>Social dynamics get into this and make it messy and difficult. There are unspoken dimensions of Probable Cause to change evaluation of ideas, the Perfect being the Enemy of the Good, the question of when/if expressing ideas becomes an act capable of harming others more than necessary, power differentials, and other considerations. However, those are the principles I think make sense in this domain.</p><p>1 There are many who believe there are no exceptions.</p><p>2 e.g. the health benefits of essential oils or the belief that Everclear had more than one really good song</p><p>3 As defined by me, in my current state of development, of course. How else could it possibly be?</p><p>4 Of course, people sometimes do this out of cruelty or reactive aggression while claiming they are simply being honest. See the part about expression of ideas doing harm. Human psychology is a bitch, sometimes.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/vaguetoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vaguetoot</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/opinion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opinion</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/values" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>values</span></a></p>
quadrivial 💛🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽<p>It would seem obvious at this point, but posting or reposting pictures of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/nokings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nokings</span></a> protests should only happen if THEY ARE ACTUALLY PICTURES FROM THE PROTESTS. (And, of course, if people in them aren't identifiable.)</p><p>This is a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a>.</p>
Trivial Einstein<p>If Kamala were president, you'd be at brunch because you'd fail to realize that we'd still need to be protesting in the streets over genocide, environmental malfeasance, a disastrous economy, and a police state, among other things. Actually, "fail to realize" is too nice. You'd be at brunch because you're fine with fascism that doesn't affect you. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HotTake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HotTake</span></a></p>
