The workshop filled with a bunch of "anarchist" flags where no one is doing anything interesting and members seem more concerned with creating an "inclusive" space than engineering. That wokeshop.
- Animats 4y agoOh, you mean Double Union in SF.[1] [1] https://doubleunion.org/membership/ https://doubleunion.org/membership/
- mindentropy 4y agoIs that a "wokeshop"?
- throwaway_4ever 4y ago"We are a space for nonbinary people and women (trans, cis, intersex, queer, straight, and not-fitting-into-those-labels). Membership is open to all women and nonbinary people, self-identified." You know, it's a little crazy that it's men being constantly accused of sexism in the tech industry when there are hard-coded rules for excluding men from places, employment opportunities, and not simply treating everyone as equals.
- mindentropy 4y agoYes.That objective is totally crazy and I wonder why no one is criticizing it. Crazy stuff.
- the_biot 4y agoThat is utterly horrifying. It's so nakedly racist and sexist, and proudly so. I comfort myself with the idea that such rabid hatred isn't sustainable in the long run. People mellow out, society mellows out and becomes ever more accepting. Fifty years from now this sort of thing will seem just as alien as, say, the McCarthy era, or indeed the alternate reality of communist states.
