BREAKING: Top Court Strikes Down Affirmative Action In Higher Education

By Chris Villani

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday struck down affirmative action
admissions policies at Harvard University and the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, undoing decades of precedent in a ruling that will
have wide-ranging implications for academia and a potentially broad swath
of the workforce.

ELMO is not a journalist ... and yet he's verified. 

Consider how nutty this tweet would appear if he said, "Widespread verification 
will democratize billionairing and empower the voice of the people."

Survival defined precisely our essence, as Humans, because we are the
 very product of Survival.

If there was no need to survival, we wouldn't be Humans at all.

Which implies if, in our post-whatever-modern societies, there is no need for 
survival, there is no meaning at all to be Human.

Survival here indeed implies to survive to that giant and monstrous worldwide 
system which is been created in front or our eyes. Not destroying it, it's 
totally impossible, just escaping it or outliving it.

Affirmative.

We bind ourselves to our conscience, or perhaps we are bound :)

Affirmative pursuit, actions pursuant to conscience.

Individual right to speak, right to "follow", right to converse, engage, block, 
all pursuant to personal will alone, no middle man.


Without the right to survive, or even so simple as -exist-, as Razer so simply 
put it, we have no life.

Without the right to communicate exercised, then thought, and existence, has no 
end, no purpose, and we have no relationships, no community.

Without community, and relationship inherent within any real community, we are 
dead to one another, to the whole world, and without meaningful life, without 
the opportunity to discover one another - our cries, our loves, hopes and 
dreams for each other.


Fundamntal rights are fundamental for a reason - they are fundamental to life, 
to our rights to survive, to thrive, and to merely exist.

We cannot survive without existing.

We cannot thrive without surviving.


So we each individually, and collectively, are with all fundamental rights to 
exist and to survive.

Every opposition to you/ an individual exercising one or more of these basic 
rights, is despotism, the evidence of sociopaths in action, and ought be called 
out publicly as such.



As hackanarchopunks, we can facilitate the exercise by the individual, be he 
with 9 or 90 million followers, to converse digitally amongst his "follower" 
group.

Gatekeepers belie the sociopath.  Sociopaths conduct entire false campaigns, 
even "damaging their share price" to the tune of literally billions of dollars 
and with the credible deniability of actual "withdrawing advertisers", in the 
pursuit of control, and censorship, and for the mere opportunity to inflict an 
almighty damaging blow to those he sees as his opposition.


Till the morrow,

Oh, I guess there's been a bit of a backlash against that white
patriarchal ... maths. As in, seriously:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bp2FlAGVE0

The math issue is at 03:37 if you want to skip the court case against
racism - where certain stores are (this is SO racist!) locking up
"African American hair products" and requiring, shock horror, verbal
request from store clerk to open --locked-- cabinet, which has been
done due to the extraordinarily high rates of theft of these products
... by African Americans.

Dang, that really is racist man, I mean, you just can't run around in
the Huwaite patriarchy and lock things up - dese peeple need hare
products already!

Yu is operessing dem by stopping da products bin stolen‼

Trigger warning, this is black humour for sure, so we really should
not laugh at this story:

At least affirmative action is working.

Note to self - do NOT walk on feminist bridges, you may be shouted
down due to the white patriarchial male privilege, especially the
white bit - so white feminist bridges? Yep, avoid them like the
plague...

Feminists - bridging the gaps in society.



BuzzFeed chief editor Ben Smith: "Affirmative action is not racism"

The Ministry strikes back.

Excluding people from a job on the basis of their skin colour,
is not racism, says BuzzFeed's chief editor Ben Smith.

The law happens to disagree, but hey, political activism is
objective journalism these days ... or something.
