@Unionhawk Is this really true though? Actual definitions of the word that I can find don't specify that discrimination is inherently systemic

Tim Stone

Can you imagine still working for this administration? Like even if you were cool with everything else him just randomly retelling the story of how he's totally innocent feels like it'd get really annoying after a while

Unionhawk

@murgatroid99 it's not inherently so, it just happens to be so

murgatroid99

12:07 AM

@Unionhawk What does that even mean?

Unionhawk

Our society has systemic discrimination but it doesn't have to be that way?

For, honestly, definitions of "our society" including gestures broadly at the entire world

murgatroid99

I get that there is systemic discrimination. But it doesn't make sense to say that there is only ever systemic discrimination of oppressed classes by others

Unionhawk

I am literally unable to parse "discrimination of oppressed classes by others" in a manner that is not tautological so

quartata

The system rewards rich people

They are not oppressed by the system

hence "systemic"

we have the best words

murgatroid99

@quartata Yes, I get that. "Oppressed" is not a synonym of "discriminated against", so I don't see how that is relevant

Unionhawk

12:13 AM

I don't agree that these aren't synonyms so this is just word games

That I don't think we're ever going to get anywhere with

quartata

oppression: the state of being subject to unjust treatment or control.

murgatroid99

For a concrete example, if a company decided to completely stop hiring men, that would be considered an illegally discriminatory hiring practice because gender is a protected class, even though "men" is not an oppressed group

quartata

discrimination: the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.

I suppose the distinction you're making is "state" but let's be honest nobody actually cares

CNN obtained a tape of Trump at a closed-door fundraiser. He said this about China's president: "He's now president for life. President for life. And he's great. And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll give that a shot some day." https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/03/politics/trump-maralago-remarks/index.html

Sounds like they fixed it at least

And it was new and inexperienced mods

@ToxicFrog also I think everyone has forgotten that the adpocalypse is still going on and that the only person who seems capable of making a living off of YT for whatever inane reason is Logan Paul (possibly due to him being the antichrist)

I can't even begin to understand why they backpedaled on this after basically totally committing

They make no sense in any decision

Unionhawk

Actually, claiming Sandy Hook was a hoax is in fact NOT a violation of the community guidelines

Good thing that's fixed

but swearing is

It's so weird that everyone was freaking out about how the new community guidelines would suppress political things and then they refuse to do any of that and instead go after gaming channels that make them most of their money

I'd be willing to bet that the alex jones channel makes them a good amount

sounds like an interesting psychological complex then

Maybe he likes being a lobster

Anywho still seems like YT has no idea what the community guidelines mean

ToxicFrog

@GnomeSlice I think we disagree here on which part counted as "fixed"

quartata

which is good because we don't either

only the random walker that flips a coin on each video it visits to demonitize it knows

ToxicFrog

I am saying that if those mods "implemented policy incorrectly" (and I don't think they did) YT's policy is garbage and needs revising

Solidarity Forever

"Solidarity Forever", written by Ralph Chaplin in 1915, is perhaps the most famous union anthem. It is sung to the tune of "John Brown's Body" and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". Although it was written as a song for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), other union movements, such as the AFL-CIO, have adopted the song as their own. The song has been performed by musicians such as Utah Phillips, Pete Seeger, and was redone by Emcee Lynx and The Nightwatchman. It is still commonly sung at union meetings and rallies in the United States, Australia and Canada, and has also been sung at...

my guess is either Alex Jones was able to post something to the channel pushing that conspiracy theory despite the second strike supposedly stopping any new content for 2 weeks, or youtube found something else to issue a third strike to keep the ad providers happy
