21:08 <~jokeefe> Decisions/Endorsements
21:10 <~jokeefe> Elijah McGee - Steve suggested meeting Eli on Thursday
6:30pm Would that work?
21:10 < Malt> i am usually doing dad duty at that time
21:10 < Joe> Not for me but I may be able to lurk it if need be.
21:10 < Malt> but i'm not required
21:11 < Joe> I found 50% of my headphones
21:12 <~jokeefe> Does that mean you found half a headphones?
21:12 < Malt> did someone eat the other half
21:12 <~jokeefe> Will confirm with Eli
21:12 <~jokeefe> Platform
21:14 <~jokeefe> The Diversity Plank sounds
like a rehash of the Immigrants Welcome plank:
https://masspirates.org/wiki/December_15th,_2021_IRC_Meeting#Summary
21:16 < Joe> Yes, I have a bluetooth headset which will allow me to attend
21:16 <~jokeefe> Great
21:16 < Malt> good point, we are kind of retreading familiar ground
21:16 < srevilak> There is a bit of overlap between those two planks
21:22 <~jokeefe> Is there something we can pull out of the text that
isn’t a duplicate?
21:22 < srevilak> Separation of state and religion?
21:23 < Malt> Equity for workers means the freedom to work in any country,
without legal hinderance. Working people have no borders.
21:23 < Malt> ?
21:24 < srevilak> Malt: I'm reading from
https://github.com/masspirates/planks/blob/master/ForMoreDiversity.txt
21:25 < srevilak> I wouldn't add that to the immigration plank, though
21:26 < Malt> i'm on
https://etherpad.pp-international.net/p/MAPPForMoreDiversity
21:32 <~jokeefe> What about just the first paragraph in
https://etherpad.pp-international.net/p/MAPPForMoreDiversity ?
21:33 < srevilak> Sure
21:33 < Malt> works for me!
21:34 < Joe> Works for me too
21:34 <~jokeefe> To summarize:
21:34 <~jokeefe> Promoting Diversity
21:34 <~jokeefe> We recognize the mutual influences of discrimination and
segregation of stigmatized populations. This situation is not compatible
with our concept of human dignity and individual autonomy. A diverse
society must be neutral on matters of faith and culture. No group should
use the levers of power to preference themselves over others. The Pirate
Party unequivocably condemns all ideologies which encourage prejudice
and division between people.
21:35 <~jokeefe> Not sure “Promoting Diversity” is the right title
21:35 < Joe> Justice for all
21:35 < Malt> justice for all is a nice one
21:37 < Joe> Freedom is kind of a word used a lot by the right atm
21:37 <~jokeefe> Do we talk about justice though?
21:39 < Malt> "Abolish All Borders"
21:40 <~jokeefe> We already hava an Immigrants Welcome plank
21:40 < Malt> End Xenophobia
21:42 <~jokeefe> Should we talk about the us history of genocide and
white supremacy?
21:43 < Malt> always worth mentioning
21:47 <~jokeefe> What about:
21:47 <~jokeefe> End Xenophobia
21:47 <~jokeefe> We acknowledge the United States' history of genocide
and slavery. We recognize the influences of discrimination against and
segregation of stigmatized populations. Our present situation is not
compatible with our concept of human dignity and individual autonomy.
21:47 <~jokeefe> A diverse society must be neutral on matters of faith
and culture. No group should use the levers of power to preference
themselves over others. The Pirate Party unequivocably condemns all
ideologies which encourage prejudice and division between people.
21:47 < Malt> hear hear!
21:48 <~jokeefe> srevilak / Joe - does that pass muster?
21:50 < srevilak> works for me
21:50 <~jokeefe> Joe?
21:52 <~jokeefe> Also, it looks like the governor is trying to
expand the wiretap provisions. We opposed it in 2013 and 2017 -
https://masspirates.org/blog/2013/02/09/1241/
21:53 <~jokeefe> Any opposed to adopting the “End Xenophobia!” plank?
21:53 < srevilak> no objections
21:54 <~jokeefe> plank passes then
21:55 <~jokeefe> Final text:
21:55 <~jokeefe> End Xenophobia!
21:55 <~jokeefe> We acknowledge the United States' history of genocide
and slavery. We recognize the influences of discrimination against and
segregation of stigmatized populations. Our present situation is not
compatible with our concept of human dignity and individual autonomy.
21:55 <~jokeefe> A diverse society must be neutral on matters of faith
and culture. No group should use the levers of power to preference
themselves over others. The Pirate Party unequivocably condemns all
ideologies which encourage prejudice and division between people.
21:55 <~jokeefe> actually, shouldn’t we change “acknowledge” in
the first sentence to “condemn”?
21:56 < srevilak> Good edit
21:56 < Malt> yes, good catch
21:56 < Malt> we should bring the wiretap up on sunday
21:57 <~jokeefe> any objections to that edit?
21:57 <~jokeefe> yes, Malt
21:57 < Malt> no objections!
21:57 <~jokeefe> We probably have testimony from past attempts we can
brush up and send in
21:58 <~jokeefe> Oh no we lost, Joe!
21:58 < srevilak> It's close to time. Maybe his watch was fast
21:58 <~jokeefe> Same bat time Sunday for Pirate News?
21:58 < srevilak> yes
21:59 <~jokeefe> shall we adjourn?
21:59 < Malt> hail the conquering hero!
21:59 < Malt> okay
21:59 < Joe> 2nd to adjourn
21:59 <~jokeefe> aye
