  • Yeah, I want to interpret it as someone posting not only in support of Palestine, but in warning to Israel that their actions are that of the star wars Empire, and that the rebels did eventually succeed in a massive counterattack

  • I know Aperture Labs is portrayed as horribly corrupt and unethical when compared to real-life science, but I feel like this is better than real companies because it's doing exactly the same thing but with full transparency.

  • This is a common argument against affirmative action (which was not repealed in the US overall, just banned in a few very conservative states (although if I missed some major news about it being repealed on a federal level please don't hesitate to educate me) ), I'm addressing that common counterargument by saying that it's not what anti-racism seeks to do. Same as the example counterargument before it. That one's referring to the types who spout nonsense such as "But that's just being racist to white people!!1!". They're correct that it wouldn't be helpful, but incorrect in their assessment that that's the main goal of the movement.

    That said, I do think that some movements and initiatives, which I will preemptively decline to name because the details and scope of these initiatives are irrelevant, are misguided in how they want to bring about equity. These movements do feed into the arguments of people who claim that affirmative action is just giving queer/nonwhite/poor/otherwise marginalized people special privileges, and that's why I want to set them aside as separate from the concept as anti-racist.

  • Note that anti-racist doesn't mean "Racist against the race that isn't currently the victim", and it doesn't mean "giving the targeted population special privileges in unrelated fields, to make up for it". It means "Calling out all prejudice/hate when it happens, and addressing and reversing systemic biases that keep the underprivileged people underprivileged"

    If one can't agree with this description of being anti-racist, they're either not helping bring about the equality they may claim to want, or they're actually just a racist themselves and lack either empathy, perspective, or both

  • Top level comment to remind the Open WRT fanboys that this ASUS router uses a Broadcom chipset, which is not supported on OpenWRT. Been seeing it recommended by a lot of replies to comments when it won't be helpful in this case, since Broadcom chips don't have open drivers
