The Insane "Social Justice" Thread II

[Kutnupe14]

No no no. You have it all wrong. As a member of the privileged class you MUST continue to work so that your money can be taken and shared among the oppressed.

Well, I got a raw deal then because apparently I'm still paying.

Cornell tells students if they are 'privileged' or 'oppressed'

A Cornell University student says student ambassadors were given an "orientation packet" that told them if they were "privileged" or "oppressed."

The packet categorized groups of people based on age, race, gender, gender identity, religion, and education level, to name a few.

I feel like I am living in an alternate universe. I grew up being taught that it was wrong to judge individuals or entire groups based upon things like sex, race, etc.

Now we are literally teaching it, and have even managed to create more categories. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

So, after reading the revised Code of Conduct, I really don't see the problem


That sort of stuff would get me fired, so why can't an OS project apply that standard to contributors.

Furthermore, if the scope is truly limited as stated:

Then that same level of scrutiny would apply to me. If I use a corporate account, or go to a trade show, I better behave.


Someone please explain what I'm missing. It's pretty obvious that Mr. Ehmke is off the deep end, but if we restrain ourselves to what the document actually says, and to to the author, I don't see a problem.

Why didn't you quote the whole thing?

It would be hilariously ironic if it wasn’t so sad and scary.

The logical conclusion of "intersectionalism" is that the potential number of intersections is equal to the number of individuals. Give it time. It will eventually sink through their heads approximately how much **** they're full of when their ideology leads back to individualism.

You haven't yet fully embraced your victimhood. Just quit trying to provide for yourself. We have institutions and .gov that will happily take care of you.

 

[JettaKnight]

Why didn't you quote the whole thing?

Because the rest seemed benign. Is there something else in there that you find objectionable?

Perhaps the pledge:

[h=2]Our Pledge[/h] In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Which doesn't seem that out-of-line for these things. A little SJ, but meh, let them feel how they want to feel.

If I'm contributing OS code, I don't see how or why I would ever need to harass the author (Coraline) by using his true pronouns. In the interest of politeness I'll just say "her".

Well...

Copy/pasting from KIA

Less than 24 hours after the COC was announced, noted SJW troll Sarah Sharp is attempting to use it to purge the mailing list of her enemies.

Specifically, one of the technical board members is conservative and will not accept her attempts to redefine rape to mean "regret," and wants to force him off the board for "conflicts of interest" -- read: he doesn't agree with her. This technical board is the board that will be overseeing any COC complaints. That means that the predicted attempts to fill the COC enforcement committee with SJW gatekeepers is already well on the way.

Sarah Sharp has been discussed on KIA before -- notably, 2 years ago she ragequit the Linux mailing list, citing Linus being "brutal" -- in effect, she was trying to tone police Linus and the entire kernel mailing list. This "fainting couch" maneuver was picked up by sympathetic media throughout the tech sphere.

It is worth noting that Sarah Sharp is also a member of the Ada Initiative. The Ada Initiative officially closed 3 years ago, but in actuality it just renamed and started "diversity consulting" firms such as "Frame Shift Consulting" which are designed to blackmail companies into hiring SJWs, as well as "Double Union" which provides "safe spaces" for people in tech unable to stand working with men or white people.

The Ada Initiative is also well known for being outed by Eric S Raymond for attempting to frame Linus Torvalds for rape.

So we have a woman who, within a day of the COC being active, is attempting to get the very board that would police COC violations at the Linux Foundation purged of people who disagree with her, as well as to have any oversight and transparency removed from the process.

A woman who has intentionally tried to push a narrative on Linus Torvalds in order to get him drived out of the Linux Foundation -- something that she appears to have finally been successful at 3 years later.

A woman who has ties to a Radical Feminist organization that was literally trying to frame Linus Torvalds for rape.

As I understand this, if you are old, heavy, and speak with a hillbilly/southern drawl, you're partially oppressed.

Not if you are white and/or male.

Hungary to ban gender studies degrees

Hungary to ban gender studies degrees

But what about enslaving millions of their college students to the student loan debts by giving them degrees for which there are no job prospects?

Oh...


I'll say the CoC isn't the problem, it's people who use it to be bullies.

How many do you have to check in the right side column to be more marginalized/oppressed than privileged?

Is there some kind of weighting system wherein some categories trump others?

I'm concerned because I only get two check marks from the right side column and I fear that I may, in fact, be privileged. That will hinder my ability to continue claiming victim status.

I believe it’s graded on a curve.

For example, you have 2 check marks, so I’m more privileged than you, so your opinion and belief automatically outweighs mine without any validity. Now someone with 3 is more of a victim than you, so your opinion becomes invalid in comparison. Anyone who is tied has to thumb wrestle for victim hood status.

 

[spencer rifle]

Here they give us a list, but not a clue what the leftist victim hierarchy is. This needs to be in some kind of order so we can tell just how oppressed we are, and who is lower down that we can take on with impunity.

No one likes to work with jerks. That’s the purpose for such guidelines. Just say that. And, no need for you to post the link. I’ve read it a few times since it was released. It’s going to end up making it more of a toxic environment for sane people.

 

[Dead Duck]

I'd say we need more asylums...... problem is the loons are running them.

Now what?
