SlothfulCobra posted:Our current social order was built around the paternalistic assumption that most people (and their families) will be entirely supported by their employer in a more straightforward feudalistic system, which is why it's assumed that most more complicated social support should be done through the employer, and many social support programs try to work like corporate subsidies for poverty wages than the state looking after its citizens. i can't think of any time in US history where this was true like, yeah, that's the myth, but when you start thinking back through the decades you'll have a hard time finding one where that description applies our current social order was built on the assumption of the availability of the government support and social services that were put in place to counter the worst excesses of the gilded age...and which are now being systematically dismantled

it applied maybe for a select caste of professionals who got things like defined benefit pensions for a fleeting moment in time. or when a an engineer or an insurance adjuster or something like that, jobs that required a college degree 50 years ago, could expect to work at the same firm for 30 to 40 years and get promotions and raises and a gold watch at the end

General Dog posted:Well, sort of. There is all host of stuff passively monitoring you, but the odds that anyone is specifically monitoring you specifically are still extremely low. the whole point of all the constant passive surveillance is nobody has to be actively monitoring you, but nevertheless sitting on a server somewhere is all the information about you. yes, you specifically. your likes and dislikes, everything you post online, everywhere you go with location data on your phone, everything. right now no one is looking at it except some advertising algorithms that want to use it to sell you a particular brand of toilet paper but the whole point is that if for any reason they ever want to, they can just look you up and bam, there's you in all your glory like how the police can now access everywhere your phone has ever been just by showing up with a warrant. they didn't even really plan to have access to that data but the data exists so of course they're going to use it

The concern isn't that we're "only" being passively monitored, but that at any time, thanks to the insane backlog of data stored on all of us, if one ever DOES become a political target, warranted or not, everything needed to put you away for as long as deemed necessary is already there, waiting to be leveraged. see: stalinism

Rhesus Pieces posted:https://twitter.com/bafeldman/status/1123643145781166086?s=21 it's actually both better and worse than you might think according to the article, even after someone's Tumblr was deleted or taken down for whatever reason, other people's links to their poo poo might still work. but you can make a new blog with the same blog name as the deleted one, or something like that, and then those leftover links will point to the new blog instead so people who hated fascists started snapping up the usernames of deleted or banned nazis, racists, transphobes, etc, and replacing everything with Toy Story meme spam as a way to get rid of any quotes and reblogs and other links that survived their deletion/ban aside from running a brand parody twitter, the dude was also active in that community. so now that Tumblr is apparently finally cracking down on hate speech, they see that this guy has a whole bunch of Nazi blog names on his account and they mashed the ban button without a second thought

I think the idea is to draw upon people's feelings about McDonalds and how artificial the McDonalds concept of happiness is that they shove into their advertising, and to resonate with people over some feeling of authenticity. Except then at the end instead of their new product line making sense from the advertising, they just gave it a bunch of internet-speak style names instead of "anxiety" or "depression". Like two different marketing ideas collided. Maybe nothing means anything and it's just a bizarre postmodern advertising statement to draw attention. Wouldn't be the first time Burger King pulled that trick.

The resulting police shortage and ongoing retention problem has brought another wave — of private security companies.
