TSMC sued for race and citizenship discrimination at its Arizona facilities in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

English is not my native language, but I think there's a valid distinction between systemic (an institution being racist) and non-systemic racism (an individual or individual entity being racist)

If this was an American company doing this in another country, wouldn't we be calling this racist? I understand that there can be no systemic violence against white people in the US, but there can be discrimination (as you call it) against them. Also, like another commenter mentioned, what if other people (e.g black people) were discriminated against with this policy? Would you then call it racist instead of "just" discriminatory?

It doesn't seem a meaningful distinction to make in this case, at least to me.

I don't really see how this is a valid complaint

It's discrimination based on race, it's literal racism

Are they stealing tactics from looney tunes?

Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda tllm by putting two or three dozen large moths in a paper bag. Take the bag to the movies with you, put it on the floor in an empty section of the theater as you go in and leave it open. The moths will fly out and climb into the projector beam, so that the film will be obscured by fluttering shadows.

It's even worse when you realize they're not hurting the Rep voter, but his family members who could very well vote Dem, if they could.

I expected too much from reddit, I suppose. I believe (and hope that it's the case) that it's some guy seething from upvotes and won't actually go through with this.

Resources to read on Iran, the Shah's regime and its overthrow? (lemmygrad.ml)
 

I'd like something that goes over the American interference in the region, debunks myths about the Shah's government (for example, I've seen people here mention that only the wealthy dressed like westerners) and explains how the Iranian revolution happened.

Is Targeting Iran any good? I know Chomsky has some shit takes but he usually does a good job dismantling US narrative & propaganda

Is the 996 working hours system still a thing? (lemmygrad.ml)
 

If someone doesn't know what I'm referring to, 996 refers to working 9am-9pm 6 days a week, which some Chinese companies enforce (or enforced) on their employee. Jack Ma, for example, has spoken in support of it.

Wikipedia says that the Supreme People's Court deemed it illegal in 2021. I don't know about China's court system in detail (or any country's, really) but my understanding is that cases go to a higher court if someone successfully appeals the decision of a lower court. Shouldn't something like a 72 hour workweek be stricken down before reaching the supreme court?

I've heard that Huawei still enforces this, for example. I don't have sources because I've heard it from someone with Chinese acquaintances, so some fact-checking is appreciated.

Mobile Games (lemmygrad.ml)
 

Do you play any games on your smartphone? I'm looking for single player ones to kill some time when waiting for the bus. Ideally they should work without an internet connection, so I can disable network access for that app and play without ads.

I'm currently playing Words of Wonder, but it gets repetitive after a while.

Do communists disagree with AES states using "People's" in their names? (lemmygrad.ml)
 

In The State and Revolution, Lenin (and Engels, whom he is quoting) disagrees with communists using "People's State" or "Free People's State" as a programme goal.

If I understand correctly, this is because a) it creates a misunderstanding on the final phase of communism, which is stateless and b) it goes against the Marxist understanding of states as forces of oppression. On the other hand, it seems logical to me that a state following the dictatorship of the proletariat principle would call itself "People's", since the proletariat is the majority.

So, I've been wondering if the existing socialist states have an official line about this, or if there's a consensus amongst M-Ls.
