Gee, I like the Redskins. But I was wondering. I would't mind owning a Tesla. Is that ok?

Hhaahaahaahaha
I think Tesla wasn't tortured by society...
I would guess the moral and ethical ambiguity just isn't there for Elon's car.
But I think buying into the acceptance that willfully and knowingly ...historically degrading and / or destroying a thing, a species, a person or people...and then naming a product afterward...
That is low.
It is insult piled on top of injury.
It denigrates the value of the thing, person, or people ...
and in the end makes it ever easier to consider something of lesser or no value and do it again and again...
Nor does it elevate humanity in the doing either.
The reverse in fact.
Objectifying a thing , species, person or people make it easier not to relate ...and that much easier to destroy...

Gee! You mean I'm doing that when I root for the Redskins? I just want them to score touchdowns and win games! But I know where you're coming from. Years ago, I remember the Redskins playing the Cowboys and their mascots would pretend to try to scalp each other. At least that was what I thought they were doing. It was pretty bad. In contrast, when growing up I remember my favorite pro wrestler was called Chief White Owl. Always thought he was cool.

Naw, he was all about eugenics and I can't support that.
At the end of the day, almost all of our heroes, intended or not, has a piece of them that's extremely flawed. Me? I like the characters that have embraced their evil.

Dr. Doom
Boris and Natasha

I should have shut my mouth.
I read everything reported here closely and am not stupid
Sure it is not the perfectly competent sailfish release "we all waited for".
But what do you want, another marc entering the stage and promis the stars?
We have a Jolla that is on its knees and a turing that nobody really heard of but a possible decendence from another failed crowdfunding.
You expect a perfect release?
Well i don't, but again, i do not recommend this view because it is rooted in my forementioned low treshhold to spend money on entertainment i personally get from following small companies and projects development.
Watch our weird watchfaces for mighty AsteroidOS
