why do rich people want to replace any living being with a silicon version ?

Because then they can patent it.

So it's no surprise that Bill "Anti-Food-Security" Gates, the world's most famous patent racketeering parasite, has his vile little fingers in this.

That depends on your understanding of "White" and "Black..." you could very easily have a world where people with biological features we call "white" in this world exist but doesn't see themselves as "white" because nobody in your world invented whiteness for the purpose of colonialist exploitation and enforced it on almost the entire planet. On such a world, "black" wouldn't exist either... essentially, it's what our world was before European colonialism.

That's the thing with a lot - if not all - of these "reincarnated in a different world" type of stories - they are decidedly racialized, despite the fact that the question of race is either completely ignored or handled in a rather cringy and hamfisted manner.

Sooo... would it be weird. No... just unusual vis a vis our world where white supremacism is decidedly real. And oh yes... there will be complaints and even more reactionary whining. But, on it's own, that's never a reason not to do something - there was even some whining about Wakanda, despite the fact that Wakanda is based upon a very superficial western fantasy about Africa that has little to do with Africa or the people that actually live in it.

places a set value on something that many see as sacred; something that shouldn’t have monetary value.

I'd say it's the other way around - because it's labor that is (mostly) being performed by women (or stigmatized as something "only women do") it's considered to be of no value whatsoever. How many women do you know that performs work such as housekeeping, child-rearing and/or marital sex essentially at own cost because this type of labor carries no monetary exchange value in our society?

I'd say sex work falls into that category - but it gets stigmatized because sex work can actually allow women to escape such labor and not be locked into literally playing housewife to the capitalist mode of production (ie, wiping a company man's arrse so that he can concentrate on making capitalists richer).

And if people are just having sex with a fun of it then it’s not sex work either,

No, labor stays labor no matter the reason it is performed - people perform labor when they doodle or blow their noses... it doesn't stop being labor just because they're not doing it in exchange for something tangible.

With sex it is the same - nobody engages in it for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

It's not there yet... but it's making progress.

Prison state is a more apt term - after all, that is what borders are there for.

No Clyde - it isn't.

You are the "extremely disrespectful" one.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

That’s some North Korea shit.

Nope. That's some American shit. And it was American shit long before the DPRK even existed.

Sure, Clyde... the colonialist genocides that created the world you exist in isn't real - it's just a product of the fevered imaginations of leftist. Nothing to worry about.

Now just carry on as normal and continue to believe the cheap labor that built everything around you with cheap resources was all conjured up with liberal fairy magic instead. Go be white.

 

The Government™ has made an ad about the existential threat that AI poses to humanity, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative

 

A recently released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) document titled “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide”* links common protest symbols to “terrorism” — another marker in a common theme of conflating militant protest for social justice with deadly terrorist violence within the United States. Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Brennan Center have raised warnings about such documents, citing inadequate protections for people’s constitutional rights.
