#elitism — Public Fediverse posts

Ah, the eternal struggle of open-source: where anyone can join, so naturally no one you want ever does. 😅 Of course, the #culture wars gave us solutions like the Contributor Covenant, because nothing says "inclusive community" like a list of rules only three people read. 🙄 Spoiler alert: rejecting everyone isn't a "strategy," it's just laziness with a side of #elitism. 🍷

Do you want to know why conspiracy theories are so easy to spread or nobody care what expert said or people just listening to influencer in Indonesia?

This mentality and elitism from said experts are one of the reason.

Some background check:
Ferry Irwandi is sharing his opinion on how to make Indonesia better in economy.

And of course X people being X people, saying "hmm, please submit it on science journal paper".

The main problem is, all his opinion already there, why don't we just break it down? There are many experts on social media.

If we are just craving this elitism mentality, well general public won't care with what you said, they will just listen on what Ferry Irwandi said. EVEN IF YOU KNOW IT IS WRONG.

Note: Why am I not commenting at X on ths? Well they have limited number of post per character.

Without merely fixating on scandal, and sidestepping the deeper structures of power that sustain it - the ruling class is always historically corrupt, incestuous, self-serving, amoral, and exploitative:

Defund Culture: A Radical Proposal is available open access on a CC4r basis in a variety of formats: https://www.mediastudies.press/defund-culture-a-radical-proposal

'Drawing on contemporary debates around platform capitalism, cultural #elitism, #openaccess publishing and the crisis of the #humanities, Defund Culture makes the case for a bold rethinking of how cultural production is organised and resourced. Rather than defending existing institutions in their current form — or merely calling for incremental reform — it proposes a strategy of defunding as redistribution: redirecting resources, authority, and legitimacy toward more community-led, experimental, and socially responsive forms of cultural practice.'

I keep coming back to this.

#Elitism has a very different meaning in Scandyland. Here we pay no tuition in #highered and everybody gets strongly subsidised student loans. We don't know what "trust fund" means. Nobody puts their kids through college -- the State does.

So here, if you have no uni degree, it's pretty much because either a) you don't have that kind of talent profile, b) *you opted out of readily available higher education*.

Is #fineart immoral? I’ve heard the argument that the only moral way to make a living as an artist is to do pornography and character commissions (since it doesn’t help the rich or a corporation). Unfortunately, I’m not overly interested in making porn or exclusively doing comms.
I’ve considered graphic design, but that involves corporations.
Do I have to change my interests to remain moral? #art #ethics #elitism

People give #Fortnite crap, but at least it doesn't push #kids into #gambling like #CounterStrike does!

The action applies to 3 programs overseen by the #HHS’s Administration for #Children & Families: #ChildCare & Development Fund, Temporary #Assistance for Needy #Families, & #SocialServices Block Grant.

The #Trump admin froze $10 billion in #grant #funding for #childcare & #family assistance programs in 5 states purportedly because of “serious concerns about widespread fraud” in state-administered programs.

All 5 states targeted — #California, #Colorado, #Illinois, #Minnesota & #NewYork — are led by #Democrats.

@JoePajak

I'm in Australia. We're not British. But there are still attachments for some of us.

And hearing of dieing people being shoddily provided for speaks of brutal elitism by the ruling class.

At some point in our Sapiens past, "elite" thinking once encapsulated things like the simple concept of saving some grain for next spring instead of eating it all now.

#AntiEliteism then has probably either run its course, or been obviated by #elitism itself —‌ when AI begins to call shots that we no longer comprehend.

Magic has its new dawn, so to speak.

A great country, just as the United States of America purports itself to be, would not throw away those who have yet to become great. It would allow everyone to become great.

Failure to do so simply shows that such greatness never existed in the first place, only Elitism.
