Fr. I’m just as worried about AI and automation as anyone, but it’s amazing how fast people were to come up with a slur for robots. I don’t think it’s a good impulse
Its absolutely not a good impulse in the broader sense for humanity. Yet this might be one of the only forms of tribalism I’m willing to entertain, in the short term.
In traditional Australia, everyone was blood related to each other. I mean, everyone’s still blood related, but now there’s a lot more people who can’t tell you who their great^10 grandparents were.
So here in Australia, the difference between a clan and a tribe isn’t blood. It’s democracy. Tribes have Chiefs. Clans have Elders. The Elders are in charge, but everyone has a voice.

I have a slur for wrenches too.

I just call every noun a fucker
My prejudice is extreme.
I like tribes more than I like corporations and states, but not quite as much as I like clans.
Clans always gave me the vibe like they needed to be blood related to one another. Is that how you interpret the word?

Athens didn’t invent Democracy 3000 years ago. Aboriginal clans beat them.
Understood, it’s a flatter hierarchy. I can dig that. Also, anti-clanker clan sounds dope in my head.
This is the fucking dumbest thing I’ve read all year.
And I’ve read a lot of quotes from Trump.
Your thing your said here… It’s worse than all the Trump quotes. I’ll leave that one to marinate.
Mmmm, marinade 😋
