pov ur a politically opinionated latin american on tumblr

It's always funny when you're deliberately making a strawman and someone decides to walk up to you and go "yeah that's me!", but this one is especially funny because I was making a strawman of two different kinds of people (people who will insist that any latino with opinions on US imperialism is presumably white and ignorant of the realities of systemic racism, vs. people who will immediately deploy blatantly racialized bigotry against the same latinos), and then this guy decided to walk into my inbox like "haha yeah I'm both of those!!"

Happy handover day!! On July 1 1997, the British finally handed over Hong Kong back to China after a century of illegal occupation. Goodbye 鬼佬, and good riddance!

Out of the British colonial frying pan and into the CCP authoritarian fire.

fuck off yankee colonizer. stop spouting bullshit when you have never even lived there. i’m actually from hong kong and life there is far from “authoritarian fire”. we don’t need you yankees starting color revolutions and trying to turn asia into another neocolony.

When it comes to Hong Kong, "pro-democracy" is like "pro-life": a nickname used to whitewash one's actual position and poison the well. The "pro-democracy" camp in Hong Kong is the pro-Western anti-communist camp. They are fighting for capitalism and imperialism, not for democracy.

I appreciate this is probably right, but may I have some actual sources for the information?

considering we have personally literally seen the old colonial flag and the American flag flown during the protests it’s uhhh not looking great. also while we would say most supporters at the time weren’t literally calling for the re-establishment of the british empire, the vast majority are US loving liberals which is basically the same thing lol (source: just ask my family lmao ).

the so-called “pro-democracy” movement is like a textbook case of a colour revolution. even down to using colours to define entire movements in colloquial language, where the “pro-democracy” faction are called the yellow ribbons (黄丝) and the “pro-china” faction are called the blue ribbons (蓝丝). there were even a rainbow of different coloured ribbons for different political positions during the time. it got really silly real quick lmao.

btw using simplified chinese here for the benefit of the vast majority of chinese speakers out there lol.

oh also pepe the frog and a cartoon pig (连猪） from lihkg (the reddit / 4ch of hk? maybe more 4ch cuz they were pretty infamous for doxxing campaigns) became like the unofficial mascot of the protest movement. which kinda shows how deeply unserious it was lmao.

OH ALSO, the slogan of the movement “光复香港” literally means “bring hong kong back to the glorious days” NOT “free hong kong”. literally pining for the good old days of hk as a british colony. it’s like the MAGA of hong kong.

it’s beyond reactionary at this point honestly, downright treasonous, and spits in the face of everyone who toiled and suffered to end our people’s century of humiliation. really saddened that this whole colour revolution took place and glad that the central government stamped this farce down.

i'm getting the sense some of you are not actually forklift certified.

THE PLOT THICKENS @averagejoey2000 explain yourself

I can't believe this is how I'm finding out that I got a scam forklift cert.

I took the cargo ops class at school but my teacher explained that it doesn't give a certification and I'd only be okay for ship's crane and the school forklifts. she said I could take an online exam and get my cert. I paid 60 bucks.

I'm googling and I'm seeing a lot of resources saying that the online programs cover the classroom part of the exam but not the in person practical aspect.

29 CFR 1910.178 (l)(2)(ii)

but I did the in person practical shit at school.

the back of the card even had fancy numbers on it. I couldn't have known that this isn't the one. this website sounded more official than certifyme.net, and there wasn't one with a .gov address.

so, I emailed OSHA, and they said that so long as I live and work in California, there's no such thing as forklift certification. I have to be told how to do it every time I get the job.

Update: I took a certification class in shipboard Material Handling Equipment at my federal job. *now* I'm forklift certified, but only on ships and piers and only for this company, but also rated to forklift explosives and hazardous materials. Also I'm a woman now.

The thing about the way people talk about the "cognitive effects" of AI use on this website is that 9 times out of 10 the way they do it leaves me thinking "damn friend you were *really* itching for a largely uncontroversial way of calling people 'retarded' huh"

rn I can't find the screenshot I took, but the other day I saw someone (who as far as I could tell had never even mentioned using AI for anything) say they didn't understand something only for another person to reply with something like "this is what you get when you're unable to read anything without getting chatgpt to summarize for you" and like sorry but at that point what would have been the actual difference between that and just calling them the fucking slur?

Okay I found the screenshot

The post in question wasn't even about AI at all, nor did person A mention using AI anywhere, so it's clear person B is just bringing it up out of nowhere as one of their go-to ways of insulting people's intelligence. Which like. When you get down to the underlying implications I don't think trying to insult someone's intelligence by invoking the idea of them having an atrophied brain from using too much chatgpt is meaningfully less ableist than doing so by invoking the idea of them having a developmental disorder.

Tumblr users will see a post about how you shouldnt try to come up with a new way to call people retarded and comment all the new ways they've come up of calling people retarded
