And yet this whole ridiculous movement is isolated to the United States and not at all popular in nations like Brazil which got dramatically more African slaves brought to them in the time of the slave trade.
When you get sucked in by a US-centric ideology that is almost entirely based out of US universities you get these glaring holes in these theories that don't make sense as soon as you move them to another country.
Explain to me why this movement hasn't caught on in Brazil? Or any of the other numerous South American countries which were huge destinations for African slaves? I don't see this crap happening in Columbia.
This is all just elite overproduction with a bunch of professors who 40 years ago still thought communism was a great idea indoctrinating kids who have a naturally conformist mindset.
Google and Amazon can afford to have this crap but startups can't and that's why you're seeing it evaporate from the small companies first. Let the unproductive all talk no walk poser engineers obsess about this instead of writing code. The rest of us will get to work somewhere else.
- yunohn 5y ago> South American countries which were huge destinations for African slaves This is a gross misrepresentation of events. They were colonized by European countries, who imported African slaves, to work alongside the SAmerican slaves for their economic exploitation.
- randompwd 5y agoActually, they were colonised by a relatively tiny group of individuals. And the profits were kept by a relatively tiny group of individuals.
- yunohn 5y ago> tiny group of individuals Where did they come from? Europe. The elite/exploiters are never the majority, in fact, they kind of need to stay “tiny”. That’s how power and leverage work, and even the concept of scalability in capitalism.
