 ttamttam | To be perfectly clear my use of the term marginalized people was to refer the marginalized people who are often targeted by the type of rhetoric I described above. In the particular case of the discourse thread about military sponsorships, that would mean those on the receiving end of the military industrial complex: Immigrants, civilians caught in war zones, and their loved ones.
Part of my frustration about that topic was seeing a pattern of bad faith rhetoric being used to minimize and silence the legitimate concerns of others, particularly the concern that marginalized people (immigrants who have tried to cross the US southern border in this case) won't feel welcomed or safe for some reason (because their community is being sponsored by the company that makes the automated sentries that are designed to kill people who try to cross the border like they did). This is a pattern I notice in all sorts of online and public spaces, So I deliberately used a vague term to talk about the wider issue instead of this particular instance. I can see how that connection could be confusing.
I don't want to put words in other people's mouths, that's just what I meant when I used the word and how I've been interpreting it in this thread. | 20:46:13 |
 Artturin | It appears that the company makes sentry(surveillance) towers for the US border which reduce the manpower needed to monitor the border | 20:49:16 |

| Artturin | * It appears that the company makes sentry(surveillance) towers for the US border which reduce the manpower needed to monitor the border (from their site), not automatic turrets for the border. | 20:50:04 |
