- IncRnd 5y agoI clicked the link for that and was taken to a page where I could purchase the scholarly work, "Algorithms of Oppression - How Search Engines Reinforce Racism". $28 softcover / $90 hardcover And, the credibility was gone.
- wutbrodo 5y agoYour prior on a claim that something supports white supremacy should be damn near zero in 2022.

- zuminator 5y ago"militaristic proclivities, ravenous surveillance schemes, and white supremacy." Serious question, if the article had only made the first two casual accusations, but omitted the third,would you have still thought it lacked credibility? Side note, accusing someone of white supremacy is subtly different from, and to my ears less strident than outright calling them a white supremacist. If I am a jaywalker, it could mean that I've committed one, a few, or many acts of jaywalking, even without my knowledge. It's a mere statement of fact. But if I were a "jaywalkist," if such a term existed, it would more likely mean that I have a personal philosophy that Jaywalking Is Good, or at least, that I was a blatant and habitual practitioner of transgressive traversals. It says something about my essential character in the eyes of my accuser.
