It's odd that long after 70s-2000s post-modernism has been supplanted by hyper-racist activism in academia, Google finally produced a true technological engine for postmodern expression through the lens of this contemporary ideology.
Imagine for a moment a Gemini that just altered the weights on a daily or hourly basis, so one hour you had it producing material from an exhumed Jim Crow ideology, the next hour you'd have the Juche machine, then the 1930s-era Soviet machine, then 1930s New Deal propaganda, followed by something derived from Mayan tablets trying to meme children into ripping one another's hearts out for a bloody reptile god.
- jccalhoun 3y ago> supplanted by hyper-racist activism in academia Can you give an example of "hyper-racist activism?"
- mountainb 3y agoSure: Kendi, Ibram X.
- jccalhoun 3y ago> Kendi, Ibram X. What specifically is "hyper-racist" about him? I read his wikipedia entry and didn't find anything "hyper-racist" about him.
- rpmisms 3y agoI'm just hearing this term for the first time, but let me give it a shot. Racism is bias based on race. In the rural south near me, the racism that I see looks like this: black person gets a few weird looks, and they need to be extra-polite to gain someone's trust. It's not a belief that every single black person shares the foibles of the worst of their race. Ibram X Kendi (Real name Henry Rogers), on the other hand, seems to believe that it is impossible for a white person to be good. We are somehow all racist, and all responsible for slavery. The latter is simply more racist. The former is simply using race as a data point, which isn't kind or fair, but it is understandable. Kendi's approach is moral judgement based on skin color, with the only way out being perpetual genuflection.

- hotdogscout 3y agoI don't know what kind of damage you developed to wish harm on others based on their race or gender but you are a horrible person.
- latency-guy2 3y agoI wouldn't engage with that user, to me they're quite infamous and I'm sure the hundreds of people who interacted with this user before knows how inflammatory they are
- hotdogscout 3y agoThe fact they have so many upvotes on blatant bigotry... and people say this forums moderation (or tech) doesn't have an issue of leftist radicalism. What happened to treat others like you'd like to be treated?
- allarm 3y ago> racism against white people is a great idea Perhaps not all Americans know this, but not all white men of the world are responsible for the sins of the American fathers.
- mlrtime 3y agoIt's fascinating, and in the past this moment would be captured by a artists interpretation of the absurd. But now we just let AI do it for us.
- d-z-m 3y ago> hyper-racist activism Is this your coinage? It's catchy.
