I will always be entertained by the idea that only fascists have racist views. And by entertained I mean fed up with the way some of y'all do the gaslighting & hope no one notices. https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1360776628033314820
You know what Rationalism loves? Eugenics. They tend to dress it up in different language now than Socrates or Descartes did. But every single time interest in it resurges? So do eugenics programs backed & funded by rationalism fans. Your pet belief system isn't free of bigotry
It just has a different set of reasons for it. So you can claim you're not a fascist & not a bigot. But you will do the same genocidal work & pat yourself on the back for not being racist.
Fun fact, the most harmful aspects of structural bigotry is the parts that aren't overt. It was the Mississippi appendectomies, the red lining, the discriminatory sentencing that destroyed communities not the yelling & the cross burning. It's the algorithms & gentrification now
Tech wants to make self driving cars but can't figure out how to keep those cars from hitting Black people. Hmm. Tech can figure out everything but accessibility (I've been in your offices, I've seen the fixtures you choose that would make needing a mobility aid hellish)
Tech lies to itself about who it decides is a culture fit. It's choosing over & over in so many companies to prop up white supremacy & eugenics. Even if it pays lip service to diversity, equity & inclusion. Note how many diversity numbers are cooked to reflect support staff
So many tech companies are "Serious about working with BIPOC & just having pipeline problems" until the time comes to pay, promote & follow those people already in the pipeline. Funny how that keeps happening & yet the Feds can find BIPOC techies. So can every other industry
You don't have to identify as alt right, religious, or even conservative to be a bigot. A whole lot of left leaning tech bros are misogynistic as hell. We understand that right? Same thing applies to racism, ableism, hemophilia, transphobia etc. Hate can find a home anywhere.
