We need a visible, organized, borderless coalition of Black ethnic groups as soon as possible. These young people require a better world in order to excel, and every nation on this earth is currently failing them.

Macron has consistently shown contempt for democracy, refusing even to appoint a left-leaning gov after 2024 elex. Today, kids demanding investment in better futures are schooling adults in democratic agency. His gov responds with manipulation, intimidation & violence - a lesson in abuse of power.

"the protests began in working-class suburbs with large racialised populations..." This means they're Black. The only way people are "racialised" in this dispensation of power is by being Black.

An important point: the protests began in working-class suburbs with large racialised populations, including Saint-Denis, north of Paris. This historic burial place of French kings now has a Black mayor, Bally Bagayoko, from the left-wing party LFI. White supremacy also underpins police brutality.

Mainstream media have been equally pathetic, demanding that left-leaning interviewees “condemn violence” - a familiar gatekeeping ritual, echoing the “Do you condemn Hamas?” routine that shifts attention from political demands to compulsory disavowals. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Protests have been met with unprecedented police brutality & mass detention: 1,949 on the 1st October, 90% minors. This exceeds daily arrest peaks during May 1968, Yellow Vests & 2005 & 2023. 215 injured kids. 15-year-old lost a hand; another an eye to a and another suffered a fractured jaw.

Protests spread beyond the Paris suburbs, across urban and rural France. It now spans general and vocational high schools, small-town schools and universities, bringing together students from different social backgrounds and educational tracks.

For my ENG speaking followers Unprecedented High School blockades began in the outskirts of Paris in Créteil on the 21st of Sept. National mobilisations followed on the 29th of September, the 1st and the 6th of October. The movement is ongoing and has spread both in scope and scale. #tippingpoint

Basically AI allows software engineers to produce shitty code *faster* and in higher volumes which increases the amount time spent on code reviews and revisions nullifying the productivity gained from producing the code in the first place.

The machine and the tool, on the other hand, require the consciousness of its makers to run. And this has given its makers godlust, and we've been dealing with the insatiable godlust of weird white men for many years now.

We have been heading down the path to slavery via tech for decades. Tech has long since used the language of slavery in the technology we built: robot being a Slavic word for the slave, and slave-master terminology used to describe robot relationships to each other.
