The new civil war in the US will be over trans rights instead of slave rights, as escaped trans folk migrate towards California.
>that's fucking dumb. slavery was an economic issue, not a moral issue
Trans people are a fundamental part of the tech economy. Programming is the new cotton picking. I am smart.
>>2307because tech is malebrained

We all know the 1990s had a computer revolution in information science…but lesser known is the revolution of biological science. The GOAT Melinda Cooper talked about this in her book "Life as Surplus: Biotechnology and Capitalism in the Neoliberal Era"
I think transhumanism is definitely a new market for neoliberalism to extract value from:
>she considers the rise of the life sciences as a response to the financial crisis of capitalism. Her description presents the life sciences as directly related to the debt-creation by the U.S. government. Not only did the US. respond to the crisis of its industrial model by abandoning the gold standard and becoming the world's largest debtor; one of the most important ways wherein this was used was the financing of the life sciences. Such emphasis on debt-creation also situates the life sciences at the core of the on-going renewal of capitalism. The life sciences are, as a promise on the repayment of debt, implicated in the temporality that neoliberalism enforces on the present. Specifically, Cooper argues that “profits will depend on the accumulation of biological futures.”1 Most straightforwardly, this refers to the many kinds of business models in the life sciences that operate on financial speculation. A whole range of measures—patents, start-up companies, venture capital funding, stock markets and so forth—were introduced with the intention of guaranteeing a return on the investments in the life sciences.

>Cooper's point about speculation, patenting, and these tissues is that value is not situated in a particular commodity but in the capturing of the potential of biological processes and reactions themselves. Such a destandardization of the commodity in the life sciences, she argues, indicates a “higher-order mode of production” wherein the production of tangible commodities has been subsumed. Of course tissues are tangible, but as products they exist in a spectrum of variable forms that are expected to live (grow, mutate etc.) for long periods of time.
imagine how much money Porky can make from transhumanist healthcare subscription fees
>>2307It's the only industry where there's still something resembling a meritocracy. In any other industry trans people get unjustly discriminated against regardless of their skills.
Tech doesn't care as long as you can do the work.
>>2303>The new civil war in the US will be over trans rights instead of slave rights, as escaped trans folk migrate towards California.Vid related is apparently from an ICE raid in California. I think something's going to boil over this summer and its either going to be ICE bullshit and/or Texas getting too cocky and sending its anti-trans bounty hunters across state lines. It reminds me of the anti-Maidan movements that spawned the Donbass People's Republics. California People's Republic when?
>>2312>That said the only left wing people I know that own guns are trans.I think the GOPers will flip on gun control once their deputized hogs start taking casualties. They almost did after that trans guy shot up that Christian school over 2 years ago.
