Oh Snapple! posted:The context doesn't matter because she shouldn't loving be using these words. Oh I agree 100%. It’s just that the tweets posted don’t gel with what little I’ve read of their Twitter account so I’m wondering just how important context is here.

She's said friend of the family on twitter before. She frequently calls people homophobic slurs. She is friend's with neonazis. That's the context. She's a racist piece of poo poo.

That politico piece was written by Eric Posner, whose track record includes such hits as Bush era apologia.quote:"A Threat That Belongs Behind Bars," The New York Times, June 25, 2006 I think that one poster who said the University of Chicago was becoming a fascist propaganda mill might have been on to something.

She enters information about what she needs: someone with rudimentary English skills, no criminal record and an affection for animals. She offers a room in her basement, meals and $5 an hour. (Sponsors under this program would be exempt from paying minimum wage.) The website offers Mary some matches—people living in foreign countries who would like to spend some time in the United States and earn some money.

That rent a immigrant thing seems like what they do in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. No need to call back to US slavery, we have a current right now real world example of how that leads to dehumanization. (yes I know the workers in Dubai are migrants and can't immigrate there). Ah yes, wouldn't be great to sponsor an immigrant from a war torn nation. If they miss a spot on the floor I can threaten to give an unsatifactory review so they'll be sent back to die.

Glen Weyl works at Microsoft Research and teaches at Yale. Their book, Radical Markets: Uprooting Capitalism and Democracy for a Just Society, will be published in the spring. quote:In an article just published in Slate, University of Chicago law professor Eric Posner made the following proposal, which is meant to “protect” naive teenagers from ISIS propaganda. quote:In June 2013, Posner and Jameel Jaffer, fellow at the Open Society Foundations, participated in The New York Times's Room for Debate series. Posner responded to concerns about expanded National Security Agency (NSA) programs that vacuum information about the private lives of American citizens. Those who oppose the surveillance claim that the collection and storing of unlimited metadata is a highly invasive form of surveillance of citizens' communications. Posner claimed that Americans obtain the services they want by disclosing private information to strangers such as "the market services of doctors, insurance companies, Internet service providers, employers, therapists and the rest, or the nonmarket services of the government like welfare and security." Posner in 2013 argued that since 2001 there had not been a single instance of "war-on-terror-related surveillance in which the government used information obtained for security purposes to target a political opponent, dissenter or critic". quote:from Posner's "The case against human rights" Posner's a dangerous, powerful jerk.

Someone in the comments of that article pointed out that what he describes is literally indentured servitude. I had trouble not laughing when I initially read the article, just because it's so incredibly, absurdly terrible. Like, they're proposing creating a new underclass of (likely mostly PoC) people in the US who make below minimum wage and give a portion of their earnings to their owners - sorry, "sponsors." While they are technically "free" to go back home, in practice this would lead to the sponsors having a ton of control over them, and various forms of abuse would be rampant. It genuinely stuns me that supposed educated/professional people wrote this. I mean, I guess I'm not really surprised, but Christ. What is wrong with our society such that people like this can become respected and employed at prestigious institutions?

I dunno man, techno-capitalists got around to inventing things that have already existed like "the bus" and "a store" so them inventing "indentured servitude" isn't too far behind. Technologically advanced, mentally in the gilded era.
