Walters, Fern

wait until you find out 🏳️‍⚧️ on 🏳️‍⚧️🥾
So easy to oppress the most vulnerable, as a vulnerable person. Harder to punch up.

sarcastically: clean it up jannie!!

Fear of genocide ≢ disinterest to organize.

failure of tech culture in Silicon Valley and elsewhere to understand the important of organizing in the workplace not only to improve the quality of working conditions so you can truly show up and feel supported to do good work you are proud of… but also to ensure that the industry at a basic level remains functional and ethical.

which were sabotaged by Silicon Valley bourgeoisie. Silicon Valley never ceased being anti-unions, fired at-will, colluded with other firms so you wouldn’t get hired elsewhere. Organizing could never grassroot in blue Texas.

and they failed to translate that into a set of truly professional standards and become something like engineering, plumbing or land surveying, something with a license, a set of high standards that are grounded in a philosophy of doing good honest work… like how doctors have.

I am starting to feel like you’re not aware how successful the bourgeoisie have destroyed every single grassroots organization in the <img src=“https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/6dedb145-206a-4b35-ab5e-c9e41e1130c7.png” alt=“Amerikkka” width=“24” height=“auto”>, but unlike other blue collared labours, they allowed their Nazi doctors’ standards to remain. Did you earnestly believe doctors in the <img src=“https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/6dedb145-206a-4b35-ab5e-c9e41e1130c7.png” alt=“Amerikkka” width=“24” height=“auto”> weren’t still running Nazi experiments domestically after WWII?

dehumanization of tech workers in the last 20 years and the rise of AI further rationalizing more dehumanization and devaluing of tech work.

Reframe your narrative, <img src=“https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/6dedb145-206a-4b35-ab5e-c9e41e1130c7.png” alt=“Amerikkka” width=“24” height=“auto”> never ceased dehumanization campaigns. Esp. in tech.

and capitalism is the exact cause preventing these issues from being remedied

Oh, you want humility. I see. Mmmhmmm.
I still feel, that even if folks choose to be famous, and managed to secure wealth, they still deserve decency as a human. But I do comprehend infamy can easily flip. It is after all, a parasocial relationship. Please treat them with respect, even if you believe they don’t deserve to be haughty.
Something like:

And here is my tip to the beggar in the street seeking shelter from the radiance of these entitled assholes.

Loudly so the restaurant can hear you, and get a solidarity chuckle from servers. I sure would if I was dealing both of you.

If you mean the bourgeoisie, I concur with you there comrade. I am not the .1%.
Come the revolution, let’s string them all up.

I hope this is a joke😅. I came to respond the exact opposite, because this is actually a good etiquette Beetlemooses came to present: anyone can be famous these days, it only takes one viral tiktok. But if they didn’t setup a meet-and-greet booth, leave them to their businesses.
I came here to congratulate both Beetlemooses & @[email protected] for demonstrating a very important etiquette rule folks should be aware, but let the infamy override the ethos: Just like you may not like to be bothered or interrupted while carrying your business, please leave them to theirs until they allow you the time and place to do so.
I know I didn’t choose to be famous irl, so please respect my boundaries in public please🙏. When you do come to my art booth, I will welcome your envy, and share our struggles of the art world🥲.

Childhood dreams are childhood dreams. Let a girl save up for the things she wants to achieve.

And I will love you a thousand times more, my unending sunshine*
