A classic illustration of white privilege

https://www.bitchute.com/video/17ik1IoZAV8G/

If I made a video like this and later tried to be pass myself off as a children's educator in order to sell merchandise, this video would 

  • not only haunt my business endeavors night and day;
  • but every white woman who's birthed a child would endlessly pontificate on social media to demand an end to said business endeavor's existence.

And because I'm not white, I suspect they'd up the ante even more.

But apparently not this guy.  In America, and white person can get away with this because there's a class and order of importance.

And now for an oldie - The Shit List.

This came out (pardon the to-be pun) around the time I started going on the Internet.

The #1 commodity of Corporate America is war.

It's fuels the 'Power Elite' (aka Establishment, Deep State, Military Industrial Complex, Wall Street, the rich, the wealthy, the powerful, the 1%, the 1% of 1%, etc.) -

Humanitarian considerations played no role whatsoever in the calculus that led to America’s participation in World War II, the country’s original “good war.” And there is no reason to believe that they did so in the calculus that, more recently, led to America’s marching off to fight allegedly “good wars” in unhappy lands such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya – or will do so in the looming war against Iran.

A war against Iran is very much wanted by Corporate America, since it holds the promise of a large market and of plentiful raw materials, especially oil. As in the case of the war against Japan, plans for such a war are ready, and the present tenant in the White House seems just as eager as FDR was to make it happen. Furthermore, again as in the case of the war against Japan, provocations are being orchestrated, this time in the form of sabotage and intrusions by drones, as well as by the old-fashioned deployment of warships just outside Iranian territorial waters. Washington is again “putting pins in rattlesnakes,” apparently hoping that the Iranian “rattlesnake” will bite back, thus justifying a “splendid little war.” However, as in the case of Pearl Harbor, the resulting war may well again turn out to be much bigger, longer, and nastier than expected.

You know you're poisoned by establishment propaganda ...

... when you don't hear about this.

The 12-point charter of demands put forward by the trade unions is sincere, having captured the sentiments of the people. The demands include the reversal of the anti-worker, anti-farmer laws pushed by the government in September, the reversal of the privatization of major government enterprises, and immediate relief for the population, which is suffering from economic hardship provoked by the coronavirus recession and years of neoliberal policies. 

Well is both troubling and not surprising - a two-fer!

As if I don't have enough reasons to not trust software AND the large corporations who own them- >

“If a large language model, endowed with hundreds of billions of parameters and trained on a very large dataset, can manipulate linguistic form well enough to cheat its way through tests meant to require language understanding, have we learned anything of value about how to build machine language understanding or have we been led down the garden path?” the paper reads. “In summary, we advocate for an approach to research that centers the people who stand to be affected by the resulting technology, with a broad view on the possible ways that technology can affect people.”

What a novel idea - focusing on ensuring the technology actually helps people, rather than manipulates and controls them.
