and if they start using your 110 number or saying things like "professors and staff should be paid the same" during their protests later you will know beyond a reasonable doubt that they have no goal in mind

2018-10-22 17:38:59 UTC  

they have no goal in mind?

2018-10-22 17:39:04 UTC  

then why are they protesting in the first place

2018-10-22 17:39:11 UTC  

No specific number that they want achieved

2018-10-22 17:39:14 UTC  

Accelerating automation is beneficial, though.

2018-10-22 17:39:30 UTC  
2018-10-22 17:39:45 UTC  

Protesting isnt to affect change, its to show displeasure with soemthing

2018-10-22 17:39:48 UTC  

kill all the menz

2018-10-22 17:39:51 UTC  

No larger goal is necessary

2018-10-22 17:39:52 UTC  

I thought we were like lobsters?

2018-10-22 17:40:06 UTC  

McDonalds is piloting a nearly fully automated restaurant in several key cities in direct response to pressures to raise minimum wage. This will get accelerated when that happens and drive thousands of workers elsewhere to find employment and health benefits.

lol srsly... "Now, add “overthrowing the patriarchy” to that list."

2018-10-22 17:40:50 UTC  

I think street protesting is mostly virtue signaling theater.

2018-10-22 17:41:02 UTC  

yes... the termites have overthrown the patriarchy .. by killing all the men...

2018-10-22 17:41:10 UTC  

hm, I think I might see what you're saying. If I give them the "morally superior answer" (Canada is better than drumph's America reeeeee) and they disagree with it, I'd force them to rethink their entire argument?

2018-10-22 17:42:24 UTC  

This kind of automation is also being explored by large companies like Walmart and Amazon who are already highly automated. Minimum wage increases have historically reduced the labor pool of low-income wage earners and will continue to do so by most estimates.

"Tanya Dapkey, an entomologist at the University of Pennsylvania, said that there was much to learn from successful “societies in nature run without any input from males.”"

2018-10-22 17:43:11 UTC  

the termites can fuck off, "real journalism"

2018-10-22 17:43:34 UTC  

Yes thats correct. Assuming that they have no goal in mind and they're protesting for the moral reason of a "liveable wage" they should default to the most moral position possible. Until now theyve been fed generalizations, however by giving them a number it brings them back to reality instead of allowing their minds to fill in the blanks naturally.

2018-10-22 17:44:28 UTC  

I like the idea of putting up more posters during the night explaining this

2018-10-22 17:44:58 UTC  

Just remember to post a picture of them here before you post them irl

2018-10-22 17:45:00 UTC  

hopefully a lot of people won't see me so no one will know who did it

2018-10-22 17:45:10 UTC  

You can't just increase minimum wage and say that you'll "re-train" unskilled laborers who get displaced by the automation as a result. This is a myth perpetuated by politicians who ignore the basic truth that not all people are in fact "equal" and some simply are not capable of taking on more highly skilled work requiring higher cognition.

2018-10-22 17:45:42 UTC  

Because im sure everyone remembers when the media depicted "its ok to be white" posters as "white supremacist posters"

2018-10-22 17:45:50 UTC  

because if they decide that the new number is a better answer, won't they try to reign me in as a "hero" for the movement

2018-10-22 17:47:01 UTC  

They shouldnt, that would threaten whatever control the organizers already have over the protest/movement

2018-10-22 17:47:35 UTC  

how can you be so sure? I'd assume they'd adopt whatever makes them look the best, even if it hurts their cause

2018-10-22 17:47:54 UTC  

think TERFs

2018-10-22 17:47:59 UTC  

Are you a minority or white? and are you a male or female?

2018-10-22 17:48:05 UTC  

I'm a white male lol

2018-10-22 17:48:12 UTC  

I'm their face of evil

2018-10-22 17:48:21 UTC  

you think theyll want the face of evil at the head of their movement?

2018-10-22 17:48:32 UTC  

hm, good point

2018-10-22 17:48:41 UTC  

Besides you can always refuse them

2018-10-22 17:48:43 UTC  

You might be overstating the disruption because people with IQ < 90 are mostly unemployable already.

2018-10-22 17:48:51 UTC  

its not like they can force you to take part in the protest

2018-10-22 17:49:46 UTC  

well, what happens if I get caught? what you said about the "it's okay to be white" posters

2018-10-22 17:50:06 UTC  

if they assume I'm just trying to upset people, I'll get the bias response team or some shit breathing down my neck

2018-10-22 17:50:16 UTC  

If you get caught doing what? putting up posters?

2018-10-22 17:50:37 UTC  

Any politician who claims to be fighting for "equality" is fundamentally corrupt. People don't want to hear that humans are much more complex and variant along three axis that drive their relative success

Values - those principles that are held most dearly and usually imbued during childhood and by culture. Not everyone is equal and shares the same values. For example, Islam's treatment of women.

Skills- those things that are learned by training or by experience. Again, this is highly variant.

Abilities- those things that come naturally. For example, those able to play basketball professionally are typically very tall.
