Because when the media becomes fixated upon a child like that, they’re likely being exploited. Doubly so with the children of celebrities as Greta is.
I can appreciate if you agree with many of the things that she says, but you really ought to be cautious when a child (as she was when she became popular) becomes such a media darling.
The big problem facing the corporate world is that they’re running out of space to expand, and so the new rage is all about rearranging what already exists into a more profitable configuration. The big hurdle to this is that we already have large segments of society which are arranged socially for the benefit and enjoyment of the population instead of maximizing profit metrics.
This is a textbook example of why they staple rainbow flags to everything they do, so brain-dead thralls will leap to their defence as though their lives depend upon it.
Gee, maybe I picked that one because I was initially talking about restructuring “social constructs” by using the cis-normative family as an example.
Nah, that can’t be it. You’d better keep the corpo-knob spit polished just to be safe.
It’s just one simple example of current corporate culture that most people will understand.
CORPORATIONS ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND
DEI is a corporate initiative designed to restructure society so it can be more easily commodified and monetized, with a crudely drawn rainbow on it so that people will defend it like these corporate entities are somehow your friends.
We really just want the hets to stop trying to harm/kill people that are different from them
I know very well that this is what the majority of people want, but bad actors attempt to take advantage of the situation with bullshit, like DEI initiatives, which are really only thinly veiled plots to maximize profits that hurt people who just want to be left alone by weaponizing their lifestyles for political gains.
What bothers me is when people use that argument to advocate for replacing ‘constructs’ which evolved more or less naturally over tens of thousands of years, even before the dawn of civilization, with something deliberately engineered by individual humans. Is a cis-normative nuclear family the only way that it’s possible to live? Of course not, but it’s also what the vast majority of the population wants in their lives, which is why it’s the standard.
“arbitrary fascist ideals” like “violent crime is bad.”
Are… you answering your own question, or?
Frankly I think big tech companies need to stop pretending that the Internet is an open public space, and to stop attempting to market their platforms to the public as such. Even Lemmy here relies upon a vast network of privately owned infrastructure in order to function. Frankly the whole ordeal feels like an elaborate bait and switch, trying to lure people into living their entire lives online while quietly removing their freedom to make decisions for themselves about what they engage with and how.
Because people aren’t one dimensional objects.
Do you think Capitalists designed hardware, or Engineers?
I’m just gonna leave this quote as is, so you can think about it.
Same sort of deal as “anarcho-communist” operating systems. @@
It’s actually a really good analogy, because it can only run on fully-capitalist hardware.
Copy/paste someone else’s code into your own project then play games/watch anime for a while.
potentially harmful
Oh for fuck sake. No, failing to give a voice to the hypochondriacs who bleat about every medical condition under the sun in any random social media thread isn’t “potentially harmful” by any stretch of the imagination. Frankly, constantly obsessing over such things is itself causing harm.
All of it, because apparently humans were wholly unprepared for using computer technology responsibly.
The thing is that words can have a very broad range of meaning depending on who uses them and how (among many other factors), but you can’t accurately code all of that into a form that computers can understand. Even ignoring bad actors it makes certain things very difficult, like if you ever want to search for something that just happens to share words with something completely different which is very popular.
