I forgot to post what is perhaps the most ominous that crossed my feed

I'm shitting myself posting this even without any relevant "guilt" to speak of. I have literally no userbase here on Hellsite, and I'm exactly as racist as any other white person on Earth is fated to be despite even the utmost possible effort or insight. But I've had some experience with abuse in my life and I know what I'm seeing here. Grievous accusations built on flippant, wildly reductive second-order conclusions should throw off red flags for anyone. This can't be how we redistribute power.

Look me in the eye and tell me this person has a pattern of good-faith collaborative public safety work that you feel confident lending your name to support in public. Please. Not just reblogs, not toeing the line. Please explain to me how the pattern here is healthy, and why you're so sure it won't come around to hurting you. Are you comfortable with building a precedent that powerful instance coalitions with figureheads like these should micromanage your every moderation or policy decision?

Racism is so confusing, isn't it? It's okay! I've got the answers for you! I can save you from your whiteness!

The correct derogatory would be "queer whiteness" anyway, but these dipshits don't even know how to not viciously slander themselves in the process of whipping their sorry crew into shape. after all, i am trashgarbage uwu, amirite

Really what could be more nauseating than white queers foaming at the mouth about "white queerness"? If they learned *anything* about anti-racism, the first thing would have been to check the virtue signaling ethic at the door and boost the voices who made the critique. The vacuous deference usually advocated by these posts works precisely against any meaningful operationalization of standpoint epistemology, and instead implies mysterious, unaccountable, versatile dogmatic powers for themselves.

Thrilled to hear Zenimax Studios has unionized. Will have to fire up ESO for the first time in months to celebrate

Excuse me dear retailer, what you have here is "a giant pile of high-effort, low-density steel scrap"

there is literally no more useless function on this planet than ewaste processors plucking CPUs out of OEM computers just to [maybe] make an extra $10 so the next person has to put one back in

we don't speak of the ones who remove motherboards and sell empty proprietary chassis as "barebones"

after the opportunistic micropolitical fediblocking we've seen out of instances like weirder dot space, it should be clear to all this bare method of collaboration is worse than vulnerable, it is just begging for abuse and we have to do better.

Wow, it's almost like just dumping shit in a hashtag was never a solution for literally any problem at all. I'm glad we're taking such a rigorous, sustainable ethic to a discursive space that determines whether entire communities of people get fucking excommunicated from the Internet.

"you can't just call everything you don't like 'individualist'"
**points at you** individualist

Maybe I'm just a traumatized abuse survivor, but as far as I can tell, our society gets a lot more done when we don't constantly assume the absolute worst possible character of other people upfront, or to react immediately to the worst possible interpretation of everything they say. It's not a corrective bias, it's not valid self-defense, it's toxic and it's powerful and it's contagious.
