re: US Pol, white culture, hot take, subtoot
There were also a lot of leftist spaces who have kicked me out for shattering their sense of white fragility, and not responding to their lowkey racist bullshit with politeness.
No big surprises, those spaces are also set up to mock people unlike them, and are managed by absolute clout chasers, often white too.
US Pol, white culture, hot take, subtoot
I am just gonna say it, everyone who has been a member of Kiwifarms, or any other reactionary subculture posing as atrocity tourism has either been a part of the owner class, or a maladjusted child of those types.
The pattern of moral myopia, selective misanthropy, and extreme discompassion for anyone who aren't immediately related to them is most likely tied to the white attitude of colonizing everything they touch, and attempting to create dynastic power structures out of it.
It's always interesting to see how far they will go to scrutinize "the other" for being offended by toxic behaviour, and yet the queer people they so hate and constantly talk about as if we're the worst things in the world for a proper society, live rent free in their heads.
They frequently scrutinize queer folk for always needing financial aid to survive, and yet they subsist on the welfare of their families, or have devised surreptitious ways to extract capital from their interactions. They call it parasitism when we ask for help, but when they ask for help, it's "free speech"
They often accuse us of stealing their wealth when we unionize or campaign for social benefits, all while they/their parents make their fortunes off of the blood sweat and tears of the people they oppress. Either that or they worship those who do.
They amplify our missteps, hold us collectively responsible for every single mistake one of our own individuals make, while diminishing or even raging at our achievements and triumphs. Meanwhile, they fight amongst each other for scraps of recognition, while they constantly and cowardly evade responsibility for the mistakes their own makes.
The point is though, the entire idea of atrocity tourism and cringe culture is an expression of white supremacy. And it is white supremacy, because it ultimately teaches people to create and enforce hierarchies, all while blocking any feelings of sympathy and compassion forming towards anyone who happens to fall on their crosshairs. Pretty much like what you see in white boomer culture everywhere.
And if you are having any doubts about the connection between atrocity tourism and white supremacy? Guess who often ends up being targeted by it. That's right, autistic, queer and PoC folk, people who white people have historically been known to oppress and teach other cultures to oppress.
If you wanna know why I think most white "allies" like a certain pink baloon, are fake as hell and untrustworthy, this is why. I caught them and people like them mocking BIPOC folk whenever they defend themselves from the racism on the fediverse, all while treating the altercation and heated discussions like their personal circus.
do you ever just wonder
where does the energy go from redshifted photons
if a photon of green light at 500 nanometers is emitted and then travels through space for a while, the expansion of the universe causes it to redshift until it's, say, a red photon of 700 nanometers
that's a loss of over an entire electronvolt
where did that energy go?

Any recommendations for on-demand T-shirt and print stores that don't suck?
I don't want to touch any product. I want someone to take the customer's money, print the shirt and/or poster, and get it to the customer.

Trump has just signed an executive order banning all financial transactions with Tencent or any of its subsidiaries, starting in 45 days.
Tencent owns:
"All of Riot Games (Valorant, League of Legends)
80% of Grinding Gear Games (Path of Exile)
84% of Supercell (Clash of Clans, Clash Royale)
40% of Epic Games (Fortnite)
5% of Activision Blizzard (WoW, Overwatch, CoD, etc.)
5% of Ubisoft (everything ever made, but somehow a more toxic work environment)"
etc.
I delight in the tears of the gamergaters who got this fuck elected.

Really turns morality upside-down when you presume victims deserve it.
A Planck length is a unit of length which can be derived from Planck's constant. It is the smallest length which is possible in our Universe.
And it's unimaginably tiny. A hundredth of a billionth of a billionth of the size of a proton. But this is significant. Anything smaller than a Planck length cannot exist. It would not make physical sense.
Planck lengths are basically Universe pixels.
Apparently, the danish songwriter's union (KODA) is in conflict with Google over how much YouTube should pay musicians.
If you tomorrow suddenly can't listen to Volbeat, Aqua, D-A-D, or Alfabeat on youtube, it's because KODA hasn't allowed the current licensing deal to be extended.
This is your irregularly scheduled Scandinavian reminder to join a union!
(I'm a member of two; KODA is one of them)
To be clear, it's Google that's about to remove all danish music from YouTube, because KODA won't accept a 70% decrease in licensing payment to musicians.
The new deal they're trying to negotiate is a collective deal including Norwegian and Finnish songwriters unions too, so it may or may not include all music from Norway and/or Finland too.
This could include bands such as ABBA, Roxette, Ace of Base, Avicii, Nightwish, HIM, Arch Enemy, HammerFall, Opeth, Apocalyptica.
They motherfucking did it. Google is now blocking everyone in Denmark from hearing Danish music on YouTube.
Everyone else can hear our music but us.
What The Fuck.

capitalists be like "capitalism is necessary because people don't naturally want to work or help each other so without a system that (totes definitely always ;) ) rewards you for doing those things society would fall apart, unfortunately" which is really fucking funny because being productive and helping other people are two of the most obvious and dominant human urges
