Derogatory terms for Usonians in your native languages?

With the Norwegian government recently deciding to massively increase the US military presence in this country, I just really want to have some derogatory way of referring to Usonians in the Norwegian language. The problem is that I cannot find any good word for this: existing words fall short; foreign words I'm familiar with...

A very controversial, excentric, for many downright weird person who was the starter of a great great movement. Too bad he's such an idealist, but I guess that is for us to pick up the slack and promote free software within socialist circles. His ideas, and he himself (for better or for worse) were what lit my spark and what truly began my radicalization. Back when I was just thirteen. Libertarians swayed me for a short period, but here I am.

If we are to get pedantic he was mostly speaking out for Minsky in a very inappropriate and insensitive way, by discussing over the definition of rape. But he did have shitty views on pedophilia before recounting them and thanking the community for educating him and changing his views. But still... Yeah.

Also it seems that some people had experiences with him they felt were at best inappropriate and at worst reprehensible. But of course, in contrast there are others that genuinely see him as a fine person and wish to defend him. But to be fair it was 5 years since I engaged in the drama and I see that stallmansupport.org have themselves undergone a few updates.

But to say he outright defended Epstein? Nah fam

https://www.stallman.org/archives/2019-jul-oct.html#14_September_2019_(Statements_about_Epstein)

I want to respond to the misleading media coverage of messages I posted about Marvin Minsky's association with Jeffrey Epstein. The coverage totally mischaracterised my statements.

Headlines say that I defended Epstein. Nothing could be further from the truth. I've called him a "serial rapist", and said he deserved to be imprisoned. But many people now believe I defended him — and other inaccurate claims — and feel a real hurt because of what they believe I said.

I'm sorry for that hurt. I wish I could have prevented the misunderstanding.

As I've said, he is a very controversial, eccentric and to some downright weird person. But I don't believe he is a bad person.

I'm sorry but Vice is doing some heavy editorialising here, and in my view outright lying. I'm just going to link the E-mail chain as compiled by stallmansupport.org and quote them here. Emphasis mine.

https://stallmansupport.org/docs/csail-emails-reordered.pdf

[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

The announcement of the Friday event does an injustice to Marvin
Minsky:

deceased AI “pioneer” Marvin Minsky (who is accused of assaulting
one of Epstein’s victims [2])

The injustice is in the word "assaulting". The term "sexual assault"
is so vague and slippery that it facilitates accusation inflation:
taking claims that someone did X and leading people to think of it as
Y, which is much worse than X.

The accusation quoted is a clear example of inflation. The reference
reports the claim that Minsky had sex with one of Epstein's harem.
(See https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/9/20798900/marvin-minsky-jeffrey-epstein-sex-traffickingisland-court-records-unsealed.)

Let's presume that was true (I see no reason to disbelieve it).
The word "assaulting" presumes that he applied force or violence, in
some unspecified way, but the article itself says no such thing.
Only that they had sex.

We can imagine many scenarios, but the most plausible scenario is that
she presented herself to him as entirely willing. Assuming she was
being coerced by Epstein, he would have had every reason to tell her
to conceal that from most of his associates.

I've concluded from various examples of accusation inflation that it
is absolutely wrong to use the term "sexual assault" in an accusation.
Whatever conduct you want to criticize, you should describe it with a
specific term that avoids moral vagueness about the nature of the
criticism.

Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)

As we can see, Stallman never said the victims „were entirely willing” but that they were coerced into presenting themselves as such to Minksy. Nonetheless, Stallman was insensitive about this whole issue (being typically pedantic about specific word usage, as he tends to be) and shouldn't have tried defending Minsky in this E-mail at all. But we shouldn't be using fucking VICE of all things instead of the direct source.

If you want to sling shit at Stallman, you should direct your eyes to other matters (like his insensitivity), but he never defended Epstein.

In addition I'll link to E-mails as they were compiled by VICE, as those have also been presented by the article: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6405929-09132019142056-0001

None of these acts would be wrong in any sense, provided they took precautions against spreading infections.

I'm recanting my statement for believing he changed on the case of pedophilia. What the fuck Richard. This isn't even his pedantic way of word usage, and can't be fucking defended by talking about the way he uses langauge. Why the fuck does he have to be like this :kind-vladimir-ilyich:

Better late than never, I guess. But hey, he hasn't defended epstein. I guess :sadness:

@polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml avatar

That's a completely fine and valid point. By the way, I've read something more recent that's made Stallman undefendable now. It no longer matters to me that he didn't defend Epstein. Fuck me :sadness:

I also don't know why he is like that around words, but I know of people who say it is extremely difficult to converse with him on any topic because he tends to devolve the conversation to this exact thing. Shit happened in one email chain I had with him.

A monopolistic operating system which has a strangle hold on mobile computing. No matter for it's base being Free Software, most devices are downright required to be preloaded with proprietary software for them to function in the real world.

My dream is for one day to either create an ecosystem of software (possibly even over Android!) which contains no proprietary software and ensures as much user freedom as possible.

However for now, I consider it much better than Apple's iOS and the Pine Phone unfortunately is not good enough for daily usage to replace Android for me.

polskilumalo ,
@polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I am aware. But it is lacking in features that I unfortunately need access to, same as a dumb phone lacks them. Otherwise I'd just be using one of those. Also unfortunately Replicant only supports a list of very outdated devices, none of which I have, and even then the version of Android they support is also very outdated.

But I have to say, I'm very happy with how far they've come! I remember when modem support was just a dream, but would you look at that... They've managed!

Maybe one day I'll tinker with it.

Sorry but I'm adjusting my privacy, security, anonimity, pseudonimity and more according to the situation and my threat model. What I'm advocating and looking for is none of this in particular at the moment, but Software Freedom. The current system is of invigilation is laying ground works for a Socialist system to use in order to prevent possible counter-revolutionary movements.

But thank you for posting this nonetheless.

You openly wish to use and pursue proprietary software instead of working to free your computing.

Unfortunately Android is the best I can do because of material circumstances. A Pinephone daily driver would be the dream however, but a fully FOSS phone is only happening under socialism.
