Technocrat.net Shut Down

twitter writes "Bruce Perens has pulled the plug on Technocrat.net. 'The technocrat.net public discussion site is shut down. This has happened because the site never achieved the ability to financially sustain its editorial staff and system expenses with its revenues. When it became evident that Technocrat was un-viable as a business, I found that I did not wish to keep supporting the site as a hobby. Certain elements of the community that developed here, unfortunately, creep me out. At the end I faced the decision of asking for donations to keep the site running, or letting it die, and it became clear to me that I'd feel better if it would just die. I am very busy building a new software business, with some great new (and yet unannounced) Open Source software in development. I must focus on that for now. Best holiday wishes to you all.'"

This is \. Even if I could, I wouldn't read the article. Or in this case, visit the website.

You must not be American. Liberals here want to put people of different races (black people) into college/jobs for free and on lowered standards (because, of course, they run entirely on the "niggers and spics are too stupid to get a job/vesa themselves" platform). They want to re-distribute wealth by taxing the rich and refunding the revenue to the poor (Robin Hood socialism) either directly or through social services (i.e. fourth-generation welfare families). They want to take away money and power from the people and businesses, and direct everyone to "get along." They want to give everyone free government health care instead of allowing them to pick a health care firm.... it's all about government control.
