This is the kind of sick Silicon Valley mindset that will lead to a dystopian Black Mirror techno-future of people being exposed to things I don't like
Even Orwell couldn't imagine this terrifying information hellscape, with Big Brother Zuckerberg declaring he was actually cool with people seeing conflicting opinions
Obviously, you and I are equipped with high precision bullshit detectors, unlike the mindless FB lumpenproles whose votes are easily swayed by every FB meme. This is why it is our humanitarian duty to filter all dubious information from these worthless cowlike idiots

As a lifelong Hawkeye fan, I can assure you the first anecdote is 100% lie. The second one, I dunno, 50-50
Help! Help! The violent gang of church lady tourists from Cedar Rapids is farting on us!

I'm not going to deny that some banana-eating could be considered a form of art
Go ahead and laugh, but some European billionaire is going to buy the banana eater's next shit for $3.7 million
For me, the greatest artwork of the 21st century is "Currency" by Denis Beaubois. He got a $20,000 art grant from the Australian government, converted it to cash, called the stack of cash "art," and then sold it for $21,000.

1/ My recent book TEMP was largely a history of how management consultants, especially ##McKinsey, destroyed the American Dream of job security.

#McKinsey helped teach corporations how to use outsourced labor.
2/ But McKinsey also learned how to do that in Silicon Valley, and then school the world.

This #thread is long, but so is #history.
3/

From top to bottom, the post-1970s job insecurity, legitimated by #McKinsey ideas, intertwined with the industrial undocumented workforce that made #Silicon Valley possible.

“...people usually gain power through traits and actions that advance interests of others such as #empathy, #collaboration, openness, #fairness...when they start to feel powerful or enjoy position of privilege, those qualities begin to fade....(1)
...The powerful are more likely than other people to engage in rude, selfish and unethical behaviour” #RebeccaSolnit citing #DacherKeltner on his work studying relationship between empathy and power
“If power generates a cushion of obliviousness around it, those of us with power need to counter it. That means, first, treating people with respect, regardless of their status: not taking the invitation to disdain or ignore” #Solnit

Black MP who 'represents' white people posts Sam Fender, supported by a #blackfist.

Lammy incites his #white constituents to feel shame; to believe they're evil.

Lammy incites his #black constituents to see whites as descended from evil.

.@ElectoralCommUK here is the post by David Lammy MP.

The school is not in the UK, but it could as well be. It's in France.

David Lammy is inciting hatred of whites at a time when whites are the minority in many areas of Britain.

(2)
.@ElectoralCommUK just some towns & cities where white British children are a minority.

How do these children feel when an MP tells them they should be ashamed because they're white?

How does it affect black children to be told whites are descended from evil?

People like to describe China's social credit system as an Orwellian new tool of centralized control.

In truth, it's much more like the chaotic, nonsensical oppression of a Franz Kafka story (thread):
bloomberg.com/amp/opinion/ar…
There's been a lot of ink spilled about the social credit system since it was first mooted in 2014, and IMO a lot of it is off the mark.

That's not because I don't think China is an oppressive authoritarian society (it is!) but because social credit doesn't really change that.
The basic idea of social credit is that each Chinese citizen gets something like the personal credit rating you would get from Experian. But then you add or subtract points for "social" behaviour that's not clearly relevant to your creditworthiness.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
