"when you know that the word #woke is aave and refers to #someone who's informed about #systemic antiblack #racism all those conservative rants about "the woke mob" are that much more transparent. whether or not they know what it actually means, the effect of misusing it in the way they do is the same. most #people will end up thinking it just means "the radical left" or some other nebulous and vague anti-conservative movement, and whatever topic du jour is considered "woke" ends up completely sweeping any discussions about the antiblack systems that the us is built upon under the rug"

#reminder that #fatphobia is not simply a deep-seated hatred for fat #people. It is the #pathologization of a #body type. you may think you love a fat #person dearly and still view their #body as a problem to be solved. our #oppression is #systemic. it is not just a matter of attitude #change. :antifa_100:

How ex-Confederates spread racist attitudes far and wide after the #CivilWar
The "#Confederate Diaspora" has contributed to #systemic #racism in almost every area of life, and it continues shape “#racial #inequities in labor, housing, and policing," researchers wrote.

“Our investigation found that the systemic problems in MPD made what happened to George Floyd possible,” the #DOJ report stated.

The #Minneapolis #Police Dept engaged in the #systemic use of #ExcessiveForce & #discriminated against #racial minorities in the years leading up to the police killing of #GeorgeFloyd…, federal authorities said Fri.

The evil of aristocracy is not that it necessarily leads to the infliction of bad things or the suffering of sad ones; the evil of aristocracy is that it places everything in the hands of a class of people who can always inflict what they can never suffer.
-G K Chesterton (1905) Heretics

Horrible #railway #accident in #India with two #trains derailing within minutes of each other and #derailed coaches colliding and then a goods train running over the #collision. 220+ dead and rising. Dead look mostly to be poor labourers from eastern and north eastern states. Complete #systemic #failure.

Black students say racism rampant at MAST; district removes teacher from classroom :

The complaint centers on inappropriate racial comments made on separate occasions by a vice principal and a teacher.

For decades now, I’ve said:

#CivilRights aren’t safe. We CAN slide back. And it can happen both incrementally & in large, sudden falls.

#VoteBlue has always been about HOLDING ONTO OUR MEAGRE GAINS in a hostile system, so we *might* inch forward.

We don’t hold—and were never meant to hold— #Systemic and #InstitutionalPower.

The RW (now the entire GOP) wins by manipulating fear & hatred of the Other.

So fuck them and anyone who thought our values were EVER “established” in law or culture.

My brain sitting here connecting the #ManagerialScience ideas surrounding #Systemic and #Organizational thinking, and the end of #IanFleming's #JamesBond #SpyNovel #CasinoRoyale...

So like, the main villian in the rogues-gallery of spies and criminals is handling money for the KGB (in the movie it's a financial firm involved in terrorism under the table), and after James Bond takes all his money in a Poker game (betting NATO money), he has him in a cell and is torturing him, but JB keeps laughing because "you're going to die." So then the Soviet spy (another agent from the finance company) walks in and he's like, "hang on, I just need to torture him more and I'll have the money." and the spy is like "Sorry, we don't care about the money, we care about our operation." and kills him... then leaves James Bond alive to escape.

This is Organizational Thinking in action.
(contd)

@biggestjoel made a video pointing out the insanity of saying that someone strangling a #homeless man to death for "acting erratically" is somehow acting in the right.

Personally, I think both of them are victims, both #JordanNeely and the former marine who did what he was rebuilt to do by training and trauma. We cannot discuss this factually without acknowledging the #systemic issues which put them in the situation they were in.

Sure, fawning deference to, and adulation of, #systemic #powerstructures is super #cringe when it's #Soviet functionaries at the Congress of People's Deputies, but have you ever opened #LinkedIn ?

A Waterloo Catholic school board trustee was made to apologize for saying white men are dangerous. She is Métis, and the people who complained about her tweet are the usual collection of right-wing grievance farmers. Heaven forfend a white person's feelings are harmed.... 🙄

Chris Bühler stellte gestern am Netzpolitischen Abend der @digiges die Frage, ob digitale Souveränität nicht effektiver unterstützt würde, wenn man den Fokus mehr auf die System-Ebene legen würde, statt sich mit technischen Mitteln auf individueller Ebene vor Überwachung zu schützen.

(Most governments and treatment providers, Cohen argued, don’t want to publicly #expose “the #DarkHeart ” of our #MentalHealth system—that a #CoreFunction is to #incarcerate and #ControlMasses of people. “There’s nothing pleasant about that. There’s nothing beautiful and pretty. It’s just exclusion: ‘Please take them away from me.’ And because we’re saying we’re doing it to help them, there’s a kind of #systemic #dissonance .”)
