I'm 12i+28 and what is this @jynto - Tumblr Blog

God I can’t wait for the whole mask thing to be permanently over. The amount of disabled elderly people I have seen get abused in public because they forgot their mask is absolutely ridiculous and I would like to never see it happen again.

feminists-against-feminism

Elderly, kids, retarded people, literally getting bullied and assaulted by people who think theyre hitting and yelling at kids, retards, and old ladies as a matter of HUMANITY and SAFETY. Thats how they think of it. And theyre the same people who want everyone disarmed. Reminds me of this story about german ssocial workers.

autistic-goblin666

HEY RETARD IS A SLUR! you mean intellectual disabled or otherwise disabled. Please fucking don’t call people that. For fucks sake im tired of this shit

Please stop fucking calling people that when you mean disabled ffs

celestial-naiad

Hey uh context definitely matters, and in this case retard was not being used as a slur. So chill.

earthly--truth

Come on. @feminists-against-feminism does this shit on purpose. You really think them saying “retards” the way they did is acceptable?

Everyone knows not to say “retarded” and “retards” anymore because it’s extremely offensive, and their justification is probably going to be some pseudo-intellectual take about how in the past it was a medical term so they can call people it now (when it’s really for shock value).

I could also call black people “negroes” (it’s probably closer to the n-word actually) to be shocking and then say “well that’s just what they used to be referred to as”. Try to be a little critical of your mutuals @celestial-naiad

feminists-against-feminism

Dude, i and everyone i know has used that word all our lives, or stopped using it only to cuck to feefees of people who arent even handicapped other than being Karens, and have full empathy for people who have low IQ or anything that makes them slow or socially defenseless, its slang but its not a pejorative unless its being used as a pejorative. I consider myself socially retarded, i say it all the time. It was normal 5 years ago, and yet ive literally only heard anyone complain about it on tumblr (mostly communist blogs), and also in a town and organization i was in that were both very very far left, which i left because they are actually terrible people.

I more find it upsetting to lump the people we pejoratively call “retarded” (like nazis and communists) in with actual retarded people by using that word as a pejorative.

I cant even say i have empathy for actual defenseless actual retarded people who are actually being illegally violently ASSAULTED in real lofe without you prioritizing language policing to make ME somehow out to be the-or-a villain, upon the claim a word is theoretically abstractly offensive from a certain perspective and context if you (and i dont) ascribe feelings of offense/disgust/hate to it (and again, i dont).

Miss me with your marxist and theocratic christian nationalist inspired culture of soft censorship and newspeak. Its the same magical-gobbldigook-thinking as saying A WORD CAN BE A SUPERNATURAL CURSE. Thats the origin of your argument - old world hick republican american moms shaming and punishing their kids into church speak, using supernatural superstition to.suggest a word itself can contain ill rather than the context its used in.

Im fucking sick of people weaponizing semantics and falsly arguing SEMANTICS AS MORALS, especially like here when it is seemingly to defend actual attrocities.@millie-of-wrath

earthly--truth

The n-word was used by white people their whole lives back in the day, bad argument.

It’s not emasculating to not call people a slur. Also you just make communism sound better if they are the only ones that won’t call people slurs (like come on, how terminally online can you get)

You can only use the slang argument in the context of using the term to mean people acting stupid which has been normalized colloquially (even though people shouldn’t do that either), but no, it’s just a slur when referring to mentally challenged people. It’s been established by the community and their supporters as dehumanizing and offensive.

As I said before, being a non-black person for “ni**er rights” is still not acceptable advocacy. Not that you’re even an advocate for mentally challenged people, you just wanted to draw a comparison between the mask mandate and nazi germany because the brain rot you’ve sustained from the positions you hold has left you with an inability to actually engage with the real world in a reasonable way.

feminists-against-feminism

“you just make communism sound better if they are the only ones that won’t call people slurs”

This

But also

and thanks for vindicating my point by vindicating the strategy of propaganda of mass murdering, world domination intending, mass slavers who destroyed common wealth globally and destroyed black families in america and returned black african chattel slavery to our economy in mass

At least they wont call their slaves “niggers” (except they probably do, and literally blamed chinese black people for covid and kicked them out of their homes), no theyre better than that, because they believe in CENS*RSHIP, AS IF THATS BETTER TO BE BOTH SLAVERS AND VIOLENT CENSORS.

as long as they use the right words, or dont say the wrong words, this makes them better than those backwards southern chattel slavers, no, these chattel slaves are the better kind of chattel slavers. I think these protestors sum up your censorship-promoting commie-simping position quite well with their masks.

pure

as a general rule. if what we’re calling ‘cultural appropriation’ sounds like nazi ideology (i.e. ‘white people should only do white people things and black people should only do black people things’) with progressive language, we are performing a very very poor application of what ‘cultural appropriation’ means. this is troublingly popular in the blogosphere right now and i think we all need to be more critical of what it is we may be saying or implying, even unintentionally.

pyrrhiccomedy

There is nothing wrong with everyone enjoying each other’s cultures so long as those cultures have been shared.

Eating Chinese food, watching Bollywood movies, going to see Cambodian dancers, or learning to speak Korean so you can watch every K drama in existence is totally fine. The invitation to participate in those things came from within those cultures. The Mexican family that owns the place where I get fajitas wants me to eat fajitas. Their whole business model kind of depends on it, actually.

If you see something from another culture you think you might want to participate in, but you don’t know if that would be disrespectful or appropriative, you can just…ask. Like. A Jewish friend explained what a mezuzah was to me, recently. (It’s the little scroll-thing near their front doors that they touch when they come into their house. It basically means “this is a Jewish household.”)

“Oh, cool,” I said. “Can I touch it? Or is it only for Jewish people?”

“You can touch it or you can not touch it,” she said. “I don’t care.”

“Cool, I’m gonna touch it, then.”

“Cool.”

It’s not hard.

You want to twerk, twerk. I’ve never heard a black person say they didn’t think anybody else should be allowed to twerk. Just that they want us to acknowledge that they invented that shit, not Miley fucking Cyrus.

queeranarchism

It really boils down to three simple things:

Consent. Is the culture open to sharing this thing? (& don’t cheat by finding one person who consents while most of the culture disagrees.)

Context. If a culture is open to sharing a thing but it is a thing of great religious significance, take the time to learn what is a respectful way to treat the thing. Probably don’t use it as random decoration or sexualize it unless that’s what it’s for.

Credit. Give credit and if possible, buy from the original creators so the money goes where the credit should be.

cheshireinthemiddle

The problem is that most cultures do not have a specific leader who can “give” consent on whether or not something can be shared.

I have met DOZENS of Japanese people in both Japan and the US who take offense to non-Japanese people eating sushi. Like…it physically angers them. But guess what? Not only will I continue to eat it, but I will continue to make it (which those specific people also hate).

It typically isnt just one person that you can find who disagrees. And I personally hear the “one person” argument whenever a person who doesnt like something and demands “consent” for culture sharing sees other people within that culture who disagree. Cultures are diverse. There is rarely a single opinion on culture that isnt forced upon the citizens of a country. So who actually gets to say what is and isnt okay?

This also brings up the argument of muslims and depictions of muhammed. South Park did many episodes on this and answered it pretty well. Muslims can’t show depictions of Muhammed. But other people can and should be able to. Even though it is sacred. In the same way that Jews or muslims may not be able to eat pork, but this cannot be imposed on those outside of this religion (unless…the government makes that unfair decision). And dont get me started on gatekept culture that isnt even from said culture (like gatekeeping lolita fashion).

Again, there is no official gatekeeper or decision maker on sharing culture for most. Honestly, it is more about what person online is offended and how many gatekeepers can they gather. There are very few aspects of culture that are actually sacred/exclusive enough to warrant gatekeeping. It mostly boils down to personal opinion. Which is why “cultural appropriation” has become such a garbage term. Because it’s hardly used for any real theft if culture, but more for gatekeeping, and yes, nazi rhetoric disguised as activism.

Officers and officials also donated to fundraisers for far-right activists and fellow officers accused of shooting black Americans

Journos once again running a doxing campaign under the guise of news reporting. You can’t tell me that a paramedic donating $10 to a legal defense fund is newsworthy enough to publish his full name, occupation and state on an international news outlet.

rtrixie

These people think they’re doing something equivalent to exposing million dollar donation scandals and institutional corruption when in reality they’re exposing random blue collar guys to the digital eye of Sauron as a wink wink nudge nudge to get them fired, all for supporting unapproved causes

alaija

The guy could be Satan himself and I’d find no problem with people donating to a legal defence fund. He has a right to counsel (6th Amendment) , there is nothing wrong with people supporting that right.

So is the Guardian et alia going to decry all the BLM legal defence funds and bail funds?

feminismisahatemovement

I really noticed a change during the Trump presidency in the tone of political coverage. I’m not saying there wasn’t a clear media bias before, but the mask of impartiality fell off completely 4 or 5 years ago, and hasn’t shown any signs of going back on.

The fundamental political reality is that roughly half of America is ‘conservative’ and half of America is ‘progressive’, and have been for a very long time. Instead of accepting and respecting that as necessary to a functioning democracy, more than 90% of the media treats the half of the country that votes other to their wishes as Nazi war criminals they’ve not yet found a way to lock up.

The Guardian here is pre-emptively treating Rittenhouse as though he is guilty of mass murder, instead of, as the video evidence clearly shows, acting in self defence to save his life fighting off a violent mob seeking to kill him. Leaking the personal information of anyone believing in his innocence in a trial still in progress very clearly crosses the line between reporting and overt political activism/propaganda. I no longer have any idea what the people who still read The Guardian think they’re looking at. It’s certainly not journalism.

for-the-power-of-gayskull-deact

Would you want a police officer who helped someone who was trying to and succeed in killing people, Rittenhouse came from another state with a gun to terrorize BLM protesters. If he was on his porch or some shit and someone tried to set his house on fire or overturn his car and he shot them i would be like fine but he explicity tried to murder people not in self defense. Also we have public defenders so he gets a lawyer no matter what

feminismisahatemovement

“he explicity tried to murder people not in self defense”

As far as I know this is the very opposite of the truth. The footage of him actually shooting happens when he is on the floor being assaulted by three men, one of whom is carrying a handgun. Also there is footage of him helping injured protestors earlier in the evening.

“we have public defenders so he gets a lawyer no matter what”

I expect the people who believe in his innocence and can see how unjustly he is being treated by the media want him to get a good lawyer.

Wait: are you trying to say wanting someone on trial to get the best defence they can should be justification enough for leaking your name and address to the world against your will? That’s pretty astoundingly messed up if so.

from observations, I feel like many people took “history books are full of propaganda” and ran with it and instead of more deeply investigating history from varying sources, they just don’t know jack shit about history

headspace-hotel

I need everyone that has ever talked about “overthrowing capitalism” to understand that

people have tried to create a peaceful, oppression-free society before, but it turns out that’s really hard.

The reasons it’s really hard are almost entirely practical and many of them are the boring and logistical sort of practical.

Change happens incrementally. Revolutions and revolts...they happen when people hit the breaking point. But the idea that they throw out an old society completely and create a new one from scratch is itself propaganda. They don’t always result in a better society. They always result in a deeply flawed society. Also people die. Very often the most powerful people don’t die, and sometimes they end up powerful in the new society.

God, fucking this.

the guillotine was mostly drenched in the blood of people JUST LIKE YOU.

that doesn’t mean what came before wasn’t also awful. That means IT’S REALLY FUCKING EASY TO JUST END UP WITH A NEW BOSS SAME AS THE OLD BOSS ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON’T FUCKING LEARN.

misshorrorotaku-deactivated2024

There has yet to be a historical example of a violent revolution (that were the first to turn violent, tho often that doesn’t matter) that, in the long term, resulted in something better. Staying true to a peaceful way of achieving change has had far more positive effects than violence has. And even so, it still results in something flawed. And it always will, because humans are flawed. But the flaws in something gained through violence are significantly worse than the flaws of something gained through peace.

dashaibo

I mean, the American Revolution.

misshorrorotaku-deactivated2024

Of which, the violence started with the British. The colonists didn’t just start slaughtering British soldiers. They didn’t attack until the British attacked. Before that, their protestation was peaceful.

dashaibo

Same excuse is used for a lot of violent revolutions, including the Russian one.

misshorrorotaku-deactivated2024

And unlike those, the American Revolution came from colonists forming an entirely new country, who revolted against a foreign power, and it did not end with a mass execution of “dissenters.”

The American Revolution was a fluke. Brought on by specific circumstances that prevented the typical results from occurring. It is most certainly an exception, not the rule.

unashamedly-enthusiastic

Unfortunately, I do love you now that you can dance

mishafletcher

ok, but honestly, it is unfortunate. you know how we’re always passing around that ‘you are not immune to propaganda’ meme? this is the propaganda it’s talking about.

it’s cute dancing robots! they have a cute robot dog! it’s cute! it’s friendly!

well, the robot dog friend? cute little jumpy guy, does some careful ballet-esque steps, often between the humanoid robots? so far, both the boston police and the nypd (heads up: autoplaying video, with sound) have ‘deployed’ the cute dog friend. both departments say that the robots are being used as ‘observation devices’, sent into buildings with lights and a camera that sends a videofeed back to the cops.

part of why i think this video (and others like it) is so interesting is because boston dynamics has defended police use of the robots, saying that there’s a clause that the robots can’t be used in a way that would ‘physically harm or intimidate people’. i don’t know about you, but if i were at, say, a protest, or honestly literally anywhere, and a robot dog started running towards me, i’d be pretty fucking intimidated. i’d assume that it was going to hurt me. if one of the humanoid robots were running towards me, i’d assume it was straight-up about to kill me.

but these videos do a lot of work to erode that assumption. how can anyone claim that they’re intimidated by, say, a line of robot dogs at a protest? the robot dogs do funny dances online! the video above has been live for about two months, and it has thirty million views. people love them! they can dance!

so when they start being used as mobile security cameras, or when they start being used to maintain a perimeter or for crowd control or whatever, it’s not really a violation of the contract. the robots are friendly! my bet is that when they start setting them out to do security or whatever—and i don’t doubt that they’ll be used for security, etc—they might even do funny little dances and interact with people who stop to gawk at them. anything to normalize increasingly autonomous roboticized policing. get one of the humanoid ones out in the field, and it’s a remarkably short step to autonomous, mobile cctv—that can also detain you if it doesn’t like what you’re doing, or if there was a crime and you’re in the area, or if your face looks like someone from a database, or—

and all that assumes, of course, that the no-harm clause stays there forever, and that police departments, so famous for their love of doing things by the book, adhere to it. but just for fun, watch that video again, and imagine even one of those robots weaponized, outfitted with even ‘nonlethal’ crowd control.

i’m not arguing that the robots are inherently bad, or that there’s no reasonable use for them, even by cops. but the time to get critical of them is now, not in five or ten years when their use has been largely normalized. this is cute propaganda, but it’s still propaganda, and we should acknowledge it for what it is.

anyway this is how to disable the Spot robo-dog that the NYPD just purchased

safety--not--guaranteed

So in short corperations want us to humanize robots which are inheritly inhuman so they sell better. Robots will be further made to exploit human emotions despite having no empathy much like a sociopath faking emotions for personal gain.

frosty-6

Also consider why precisely you see so many videos of technicians shoving the robots back or over in order to demonstrate/train their AIs how to maintain balance and right themselves

momir-viig

People are afraid of these robots for no reason. These robots fucking suck! They’re never going to be used in combat or in protests. You push them lightly and they stumble for 5 seconds; hit them again in that time, or hit them in the legs, and they fall over.

These things aren’t fast, they aren’t scary, they don’t have weapons, they don’t have AI advanced enough to work in a fight, and they cost three times the price of a new car.

What Boston Dynamics is doing is running an incredibly successful scam. They’ve successfully fleeced the American military out of millions of dollars of contracts, put that money into incredibly significant mechatronics research, and have produced a “weapon” that can’t be used in a fight.

durneh-deactivated20220205

Only smooth brains are worried about these particular robots causing physical harm, the real issue is making them all cutsie and normalizing people to the idea of having these things walking around. The tech isn’t there for these things to be combat capable yet, but they will be going into late stage development within the decade.

momir-viig

There’s no fucking way these things will be combat capable in only a decade. It took them over a decade just to get this far, and they’re not even halfway to combat capable robots.

jynto

The next decade is not the concern here. But if this is the kind of thing that they’re building in the 2020s, just imagine what kind of machines they’ll be capable of building in 2050, or 2080.

And like @durneh says, their main strength will be in exploiting human emotions. That’s a big enough threat to humans by itself, even if they aren’t combat-capable.

lee-enfielded-deactivated202309

So actually like Ben Shapiro said a thing which people mocked him for but there is actually a point in the things he said. He mentioned the idea of a free speech culture and that's what a lot of people seem to not want. They want to live in a culture that doesn't encourage freedom of expression and they will fight for the existence of that culture, whilst still proclaiming that it's completely fine because the first amendment exists (whilst also claiming that many kinds of speech protected under the first amendment are not in fact protected under the first amendment because they only actually give a shit when the boot is on the other foot)

Oof! Kinda depressing to see a big name like Hozier believing in the trans life expectency myth. Even more so to hear trans allies cheering for him when he does. 😞

Before you read the TL;DR, I just ask you to think about how plausible it would be for trans people (or trans women specifically, or trans women of colour) to have an average life expectancy in their thirties. How many trans people - since we know there are at least a few million worldwide - would have to die in suspicious circumstances to drag the average down from 70-something to a mere 30-something?

I’ll give you a clue: It’s a lot more than the couple of hundred every year that Trans Day of Remembrance serves to memorialise.

Now, Katie Herzog wrote an excellent piece debunking this damned lie/statistic. So if you were one of the people who saw this tweet and smiled, I strongly recommend reading it for yourself.

https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2019/09/23/41471629/is-the-life-expectancy-of-trans-women-in-the-us-just-35-no

But before you discount Herzog as some kind of discount Radfem, bear in mind this is the article Wikipedia cites for the following paragraph in their article on trans women:

In 2015 a false statistic was widely reported in the United States media stating that the life expectancy of a trans woman of color is only 35 years. This appears to be based on a comment specifically about Latin America in a report by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which compiled data on the age at death of murdered trans women for all of the Americas (North, South, and Central), and does not disaggregate by race.

Another article from Huffpost concurs:

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trans-woman-of-color-4-years-to-live_b_8637038

TL;DR the average lifespan of trans murder victims is very different from that of the much larger group of trans people who don’t get murdered.
