  • It is not that though. Safe spaces doesn't mean they don't ever have contact from outside groups, it means they have a place they can take a break and know there is a certain cultural understanding. It is a vacation, not a permanent move.

  • Depending on the validity of the article, they also did a little extortion in addition to just working, so not just having a job. Not saying that wasn't part of their job on the NK side, but the salary wasn't the only money involved.

  • It's not the same thing. One was meant to keep black people out of society, and the other is meant to provide community for marginalized folks (in this case black folks, but any marginalized group can have a safe space). And yes, we still have racism and bigotry, but comparing something that was meant to further marginalize people to something that is meant to provide community is just silly.

  • Safe spaces are not segregation in the same sense as US history. These are folks self selecting, not the government selecting for them. Often online spaces especially need spaces like this so folks in marginalized groups can have a safe community. They are also not stuck to the one feed, they can just choose what feed they want when

  • I would be very surprised if that is why Amazon chose those cities. Having worked there, they would have pulled demographic data to see how many new cars are sold each year and released in the highest volume cities with dealers willing to work with them.
