I’ll save y’all from having to read about this villain. He’s not referring to actual ethnicity. He wants an “ethnic” cleansing of liberals from San Francisco, he wants to start a new gang called The Greys, and he wants the city controlled by corporate gangs who can do whatever they want. He wants to bribe police officers to do his bidding, and equip them with special uniforms to demonstrate their loyalty. He wants to reintroduce segregation, but for political alignment, and ban liberals (who he calls The Blues) from access to good parts of the city. He’s dangerous because he has resources and a captive audience. I’m sure he is on several government watchlists already, as he should be.
Greys and blues like the civil war?
Maybe it is a call for ethnic cleansing and he means “black people” when he says “liberals.”
I knew a coworker who would say “Canadians” as a dogwhistle. I don’t know why, and refused to ask.
Canadians as a dogwhistle for what, dare I ask? Or was that part of what you refused to ask?
Black people.
Except now the Republicans will be called “Reds”, and the Democrats will be “Blues”. The Greys are this new Nazi fuck’s party.
Wow. Insane.
Hahahaha, let’s see, the software giant that practically controls 99% of desktops/laptops around the world…
The same company that has a massive R&D division that produces some of the most amazing research on computing and users.
MS isn’t showing us all their cards, I’m frankly terrified of what they understand and their long-term plans based on that knowledge.
All this facial recognition technology that is popping up as breaking news was on demonstration in the Microsoft visitor center 10 fricken years ago. Over a decade ago they could already assign an ID to a person the first time they were seen, accurately estimate their height, weight, ethnicity, age, and even mood, and create a persistent profile for them across locations. That was a decade ago when they had it on display for visitors, so it had actually been available for much longer. Imagine what they’re doing now.
It is 100% way overdue to take a lot of tech away from these cunts and make it public infrastructure.

If the Californians vote for this dude and his ideas, it'll be their own fault 🤷♂ But it would fit right in with the future president.
Another uber-wealthy tool like Musk that is insulated from the consequences of anything they do or say while surrounding themselves with sycophants.
Psychopaths*
why not both
