You’re correct. In my area, we call them rafters

Wait, are they building the rafters on the frame?

There are probably efforts to organize and unionize ride share workers in your area. You should look for them and join the fight.

Weird how even in this comment section, forming a union was never mentioned

I’m at a loss for words. I just gave you a literal example of CRT that you agree with, but you’re still going on about how it isn’t relevant and “backwards”. The laws have to dismantle the biases built into the system before we can safely remove DEI programs without risk of unfair exclusion. I also want a world where it’s no longer necessary. We have to build it first.

Racism is an intersection of power structures, historical injustice, and poverty. Truth be told, that’s the recipe for all systemic injustice. The US was built for white men; the native Americans were being genocided, women were domestic slaves, and black people were chattel. Because the US reneged on reparations for ex-slaves after the civil war, a vast majority of black Americans entered the society in abject poverty. Because women, slaves, and native Americans had to be totally disenfranchised to be subjugated, laws were made to ensure disenfranchisement was long lasting. The rest of society continued to build up around these discriminatory laws, which could inflict more harm onto the group. A lot of these laws were even color blind; red zoning was on the basis of poverty.
But remember how I said former slaves were in abject poverty? Well, generational wealth plays a part here too. Wealth from family is far more important than we want to admit in this country. Some black people were able to become moderately wealthy, but that’s not everyone or even most people. Most remained in poverty after 1 generation from slavery. When red zoning excluded poverty-stricken areas, they excluded most black people.
But that’s not the end of the story. Now, we’ve understood how red zoning is harmful and repealed those laws. But segregated neighborhoods are even more segregated than before! Why? Well the racist history of enforced poverty makes it hard to build local wealth in those areas, our government has made it exceedingly hard to escape poverty, and poverty is worsening due to wealth accumulation by billionaires.

CRT is the analysis of racism within systems of power. Being anti-discrimination and anti-crt are wholly contradictory, because racism is about power. It’s like being anti-cancer and anti-radiation therapy.

How fucking dare you demand that people casually buy guns. They are a massive responsibility and require total vigilance of all safety rules at all times when being handled or carried. Get armed, but only if you’re willing to handle the responsibility. Not everyone can own a gun, it’s always best to advocate for educated self defense with an emphasis on de-escalation.

- Comment on Why the Left needs to watch Star Trek: It has lessons for today's techno-optimists 4 weeks ago:
Tbh I’m tired of the “utopia is actually evil” trope. I like how Earth is presented in trek without any hidden evils. Starfleet has problems and the show explores them (look at the maquis), but they’re authentic to the stated mission of exploring and discovering.
If we’re sticking to the trek universe but using these ideas, they should go to the mirror universe or pre-federation

Damn, I had no clue about the links between Asperger’s and the Nazi scientist. It’s a good thing that it’s not a diagnosis anymore, because of the whole nazi science thing.
