These are people who will do anything to destroy you. Question whether an SPI pin name is oppressive and risk having your career destroyed. It's not a matter of social progress, it's about seizing power and using any tool to do it.
I think that's the breakthrough I had in realizing whether it's worth arguing against the woke-mob. They don't care about arguments, they don't even have one.
- kube-system 6y agoWhat power exactly do you think is being seized through the renaming of a pin on a chip? And by who?
- gnusty_gnurc 6y agoRenaming a pin isn't seizing power - it's exercising power that's already been taken or at least trying to be established, i.e. calling anyone who dares to question actions, movements, etc. a racist and destroying their livelihood. The power is through co-opting race issues, and other marginalized identities to silence debate and free thought. Oddly enough it's usually done by the managerial, urbane, upper-middle class white crowd.
- kube-system 6y agoIt only destroys the livelihood of people who decide to die on some mountain of political thought exercise that doesn't belong in a professional workplace to begin with. There's no transfer of power happening. Professionalism is and always has been inherently incompatible with unfettered "debate and free thought".
