Apple CEO Tim Cook Tackles Truth in the Digital Age (cnbc.com)
Apple CEO Tim Cook visited the University of Glasgow yesterday to be awarded an honorary doctorate. During the Q&A session, one audience member asked Cook to tell what the future looks like. Following is Cook's response: "The world is going through an enormous change. We used to watch three or four people tell us the news, and generally speaking most of us trusted that ... now you are growing up in an environment where everyone is telling you the news and everyone is trying to influence your opinion on something," Cook said. "Generally society hasn't moved as fast as technology has ... so all of us have been put in a position to make sure that when we hear something we automatically take it as our opinion that we think through the different views on it and unfortunately make sure it is accurate as well."
And Apple has been a great influencer itself.
Wait, in what way is this a defense of Trump? Saying "you should pay attention, and not believe all the lies Trump and Spicer are telling you" doesn't exactly support him.
Steve appears to me every night, surrounded by a bluish glow and tells me The Truth.
I don't see how this is a defense of Trump.
Even though Trump labels everything criticising him as "fake news", that doesn't mean that there _aren't_ a lot of media outlets slinging opinionated lies at us.
The most influential advisor of Trump used to run one of the most prolific such website and for every contradictory news report, you can be sure atleast one is untrue.
Slashdot social media options: AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber and Mobile Text. Why no MySpace?
Umm...does anyone else think he's really not focused on running Apple like Steve did?
Everyone the left disagrees with is a Nazi. If you took the word Nazi out of the lexicon, the left would be reduced to tears and blank stares..
5 out of 6 people enjoy Russian Roulette & 6 out of 7 Dwarfs are not Happy
As soon as someone uses that, back away slowly. It's invariably you need to believe what I'm telling you rather than testable and verifiable reality. Just look at how many conspiracy nutters, religious zealots and extreme left/right crazies use it.
And this is coming from someone that claims they invented iThing design when it's copied from Sony blueprints and uses off the shelf components made by LG, Samsung, ARM and 20 year old BSD code. But their icons, man, look, they've changed. TRUTH!
This exactly why I don't belive a word Tim Cook says!
As in "promoting", or "causing injury to"?
No need the use the title Nazi, I don't. Fascist is perfectly acceptable.
You idiot. Not everyone that is bad or you disagree with is a Nazi. The word Nazi doesn't just mean "evil mean guy I don't like".
Use your ten inch tongue.
Correct Mr. Cook "Generally society hasn't moved as fast as technology has". Some of us are still engaged in practices like keeping corporate cash holdings in off shore tax shelters and claiming that there is a tech worker shortage when in reality it's just greed driving corporate profits in the form of hiring cheaper H-1B visas that are willing to put up with unreasonable working conditions so they can make more money. Some things never change.
We'll make great pets
congratulations mr cook
Fortunately the alt-right has shown up the solution. A relatively small number of people working to spread disinformation worked very effectively. To counter that, we need a similar number of people willing to use subversion tactics to promote the truth.
30 years of the media in the US alone being partisan towards democrats, but it's suddenly a small number of "alt-right" spreading disinformation. Okie there. I'm sure that the mainstream media pumping out a bunch of articles in the last few months that were fake wasn't anything. Or how many times has it been now that sites like WAPO have had to publicly retract stories because of that fake news? Hate to tell you this, but the media tried to pull the fake news crap, and got their face rolled into it. It's the same reason why for over a decade that the trust in the media in the US is under 20% and even here in Canada it's under 25%
But let's look at some disinformation. Would that be like the migrant that was arrested in Edmonton, Alberta the other day. And the CBC uses the word "touched" when the person in question aggressively committed sexual assaulted a 14 year old? Under the definition of the law as sexual assault level 3, because they threatened and caused physical injury. Or is that simply massaging the truth because it paints them in a bad light. Or would that be like the underage refugees in NFLD, who physically assaulted a 15 year old girl, and the response from the media was bending over backwards to claim "cultural issues" and the two people "not knowing that assault was wrong." We don't even have to start from there, we can just look over the media like the letter networks and see how much garbage they've been pumping out over the last 15 years.
I know that the "alt-right" is some great invisible bogeyman for you. But you guys over in Europe have far more to worry about with the government engaging in active censorship, and trying to hide information from the public in order to ensure their political power remains intact.
Om, nomnomnom...

This is what he means by a few alt-right spewing lies.

Yeah, we're trying to prevent that BEFORE it happens, not after.
People are generally idiots who are incapable of rational thought and will believe anything they're told. Anyone with half a brain has know this for years.
Have you ever tried to get conservative news on the Apple news app. It is impossible. Even when you ask for a service that you want for conservative news apple injects non-conservative view points into the stream and does not show you your conservative news source. News is not longer impartial or factual. Tim Cook only thinks his news is the correct news. Love you Tim. Wish you could be a little more introspective.
If you showed it to anyone on the right, they'd call Nazis libtards because their morals are completely bankrupt.
Reality has a well known left-wing bias.
This is because conservatism is the politics of nostalgia and ignoring things that only affect other people. Trump wants things to be like the 1950s again. It's even in his campaign slogan: Make American Great Again, as in it used to be great and should go back to that state.
The alt-right like this, because after all it is a movement that started with white supremacists. In the 1950s, white people had more rights and power than others. Of course it sucked if you were not white, but... meh, it's those people's own fault or something. Whatever makes you comfortable.
And that's what the new alt-right media offers: comfort. If all those people who are losing out are bad people, and Trump keeps reminding you that they are, then you don't need to feel bad for them. In fact, you should be happy about it, because bad people got what they deserved.

Right now the world has a lot of very loud assholes. this encourages others to be assholes.
Stay away from anyone acting extreme right and left, just shut them completely out of your life as they are the scummiest of people.
If they cant have a civilized and calm discussion, eject them from your life rapidly. yes even family.
My problem is these people are infecting everything, A discussion about antenna theory and basics turns into a shitshow of aggressive posturing when you mention something like "you should not use a wire wound resistor like that because it can introduce unwanted reactance" is met with... foaming at the mouth insults and turd throwing. People refuse to back up their statements contrary to known science and education and start blathering on to prop up their strawman.
Honestly I'm really done with people in general, americans are empowered right now to be assholes and I want nothing to do with it.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
Cook is way too optimistic. If all of us stopped for a minute to think things through, we wouldn't have been in the mess we are in. Can't blame him though. A large part of the man's job is to think, so he thinks (pun intended) it comes natural for everyone. It's the reverse Dunning–Kruger effect.
Someone told Democrat presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson in the 1950s, “You are doing great. All thinking men are with you.” “No,” Stevenson replied. “I need a majority.”
What does objective 'truth' even mean in a postmodern era, where 'your truth' is not 'my truth' and reality is just a competing set of narratives supported by carefully-selected information?
The Alt-Right is just a faction on the Right that has differences w/ other conservatives. Breitbart hardly equals all, or even most of the portion of the media that is conservative
Point Cook made was that in the past, only 3 or 4 people told us the news, and all of them were, for want of a better term, Left-of-Center. This had been borne out election after election, where 90+% of journalists would reveal that they voted for the Democrats. In no walk of life do you get such homogeneous opinions, so when that happens, people who disagree w/ them are justified in wondering whether they are lying to them. That's why we had things like Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, Drudge Report, Blaze TV, Breitbart, et al. While that may look like a lot, keep in mind that if you have just basic TV, FNC is not a part of the deal, in which case your only choices are ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS. Even the Fox Broadcast Channel does not have the same bent as FNC, and even FNC has its share of Liberals like Sheppard Smith, Juan Williams and Julie Rogansky. So even w/ all this, the Left certainly had an overwhelming advantage when it came to the media.
The way Social Media changes all this is that everybody is a potential news source, and w/ that, comes all the trolling, but seriously, this is no different from Usenet - for those who remember. Flame wars are just a part of it. Also, w/ media bias being what it's been, people on the right who are disgusted by it have left them in droves, and are either turning to these alternate sources, or even hearing directly from the horse's mouth. I mean, why would a Trump supporter go to CNN or NBC or even FNC when they can directly read his Twitter account. And the same goes for Trump haters - they can go to Hilary, Bernie, Schumer, Warren or any number of Trump haters out there.
The thing that the Left is bitter about is that their monopoly and control on information flow is gone. If anyone can pull out their smartphone, videotape something and then put it on Facebook, how do their 'journalists' who simply sit in their studios and bloviate justify their 6-7 figure salaries?
That's the new cliche of you people - that 'reality has a Left Wing bias'. If it did, everything Obama and your side told us about the economy and how great we were doing would have been true. Our kids would have been at the top of the world in education, and companies wouldn't have been searching for talent abroad.
One of the goals in experimental science is to remove bias.
You mean that "left-wing bias" which gives rise to things like 20 years of screaming "the nazis/white supremacists are coming." Or "it's okay to punch nazis/etc" or "everyone is a racist/sexist/homophobes if you don't agree with us" type of bias? Or "pepe is a racist hate symbol" type of left-wing bias. We can keep going down this form of reality you're pushing, but that doesn't make it true. And if anything, it simply paints the left very unhinged. How about the "kkk are on the rise again" type of bias? You know when their actual membership is so tiny, that they're smaller in organizational size then that group of leftists at UC Berkeley stood along side.
Yep, I know, it's very comforting for you to think that there's this mythical "alt-right" that's lurking behind everything on the right side of politics these days. But then again, considering that Trump's message resonated with every sector of the electorate and he did better then the last candidates. Seems like it's not a "1950's idea. It's a 1980's idea, where people weren't having their jobs outsourced to 3rd world labor.
Om, nomnomnom...
This is what he means by a few alt-right spewing lies.
Don't let reality hurt you. It's a very harsh mistress. When you decide to look, you can also note how the tone of media has changed as it's been consolidated into particular hands. I recommend the washington post as a starting point, then move onto NBC.
Yeah, we're trying to prevent that BEFORE it happens, not after.
Too bad it's already happening isn't it? That it's been going on for years. That you can look at Germany and see the government leaning on media and police not to report statistics. That one can look at Sweden where police officers are threatened with "racism" charges for reporting facts. Where the governments make demands of social media to censor things which are contrary to the presented viewpoint. Or police threaten and dox people for not wanting refugees in their backyard, or having particular points of view on sexuality. Or universities and student unions engaging in no-platforming, or threatening speakers because their view points no longer fit the radical agendas that are being pushed. Yes, very much trying to prevent what's already happening and encouraging a "further" counter-pendulum swing with your actions.
Om, nomnomnom...
Actually, the 'alt-right' is real, but not in the way that Leftist clowns like to depict it. It's a genuine fissure on the Right
Traditional Conservatism - of the type that the Bushes and the GOP establishment loved - was the international, free trade, open borders & immigration, service Wall Street policies across the board. Also, they were stuck in the Cold War era, and Russia simply succeeded the Soviet Union as the #1 enemy. For those who think it's a personality issue w/ Putin, they were not supportive of Yeltsin either. But even though Communism was dead - at least in terms of losing the Soviet Union and all of Eastern Europe, they pretended that Communism was still the major ideological enemy. Granted, it's making a strong showing in the US w/ Sen Warren and in the UK w/ Jeremy Corbin, but it's not the threat to the rest of the world the way it was during the Cold War. Islam has replaced it in that aspect, but the traditional Conservatives are still cozy w/ the likes of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Islamic countries.
The Alt Right has for the first time put a lot of these sacred cows to the slaughter (being a Hindu, I don't like this analogy, but it's all I can think of at the moment). They recognize that Islam is the biggest threat to the West, which is why they're not obsessed w/ Russia in the way that the Republican establishment is. They recognize that trade deals like NAFTA haven't worked for the US, and are happy to revisit it. They are the only ones looking at H1B abuse: the traditional Conservatives want to service the businesses that want them, while the Liberals want the future votes of the new citizens. They are the ones questioning whether NATO is still relevant, given its inclusion of Turkey, which is on the Islamic side of this conflict.
While Trump may have moved this a bit, and Bannon is key in getting a lot of alt right policies in, the party as a whole hasn't yet shifted that way, except maybe in the Rust Belt states that Trump won this time around. Hopefully, by the next elections, they succeed in taking over the GOP, and purging the likes of McCain, Graham, Collins and so on.
Maybe it's because today's republicans are fucking nuts?
People who are ok with much higher death rates of mothers because of Planned Parenthood.
People who are ok with companies being allowed to poison the water & air for tax breaks
People who are ok with destroying American education because it's not perfect today
People who are ok with bribery for tax breaks
People who are ok with racists being in charge of just about everything
People who are ok with fucking over the less well off for tax breaks
Fuck off with your pretentious idiocy. The press tone hasn't changed, it's just that the republicans have moved from conservative to fascist.
Society doesn't need to evolve past greed. What society needs is to evolve past coercion. In the absence of coercion, greed is merely something to point and laugh at.
All of the real problems in this world can be traced back to coercion, whether legal or illegal, public or private.
You remind me of the people who say that religion is the root of all evil. That's just as absurd. In the absence of coercion, religion is merely something to point and laugh at.

We stopped having journalists a long time ago. Now we have 'news' which is just that persons opinion with some cherry - picked 'facts' to support them.
And guess what? At the New York Times the first department that was cut was the fact checkers.
Fuck off with your pretentious idiocy. The press tone hasn't changed, it's just that the republicans have moved from conservative to fascist.
How do you know it's not the left that's changed from being "liberal" to basically Stalinist? My politics haven't really changed since the mid 90s and nobody ever called me a racist or a fascist until about two years ago.
We don't have a state-run media we have a media-run state.
Unless Donald Trump is trying to bring about the Fourth Reich, etc then he's probably not a Nazi.
The simplest explanation is usually the correct one, and that is Trump is just a regular old sack of human waste stuffed into a suit.
Human Waste for President 2020! -- They say I'm inhuman. But I'm at least half human. More. Maybe the most human ever.
“Common sense is not so common.” — Voltaire
People on here seem bombarded by massive amounts of mostly partial but generally conflicting data provided by many news sources. Each news source appears more focused on quantity as opposed to quality and news is far more about opinion than fact.
I am impressed that the typical person today prefers to receive news that makes them feel smarter because it is always possible to find a news source that simply tells them what they want to hear as opposed to properly informing and even educating the consumer.
Slashdot is generally frequented by a "more educated readership" and yet we have such diverse backgrounds and interests that we favor debate over discussion or exchange of opinions of common observations. We display clear signs of choosing teams or camps. Many people (often myself included) favor arguing in favor of opinion with lack of regard or respect for others.
Imagine a less informed and more easily influenced general public.
Consider that often we express our own flavor of popular opinion. We universally lean towards expressing black and white opinions. Moderation and cooperation is often perceived as pandering or weakness. We almost never express positive opinions either. We favor criticism and rarely the constructive type.
If we the "educated few" sell ourselves to others as intellectuals with a clearer understanding of our world behave primarily in a purely negative and critical fashion, imagine the example we are setting for others. They will learn that to sell their appearance to others as more intelligent than they are, they should present themselves as combative and contrary to other people's opinions.
I hope that instead we could teach ourselves to behave more intelligently as better role models that learn to speak before we speak. We can use our intellect to solve problems as opposed to simply always identifying them and blaming others for them.
An example, people ask me regularly what I feel about Donald Trump as president. I explain that while I don't like his behavior and don't know enough about him to properly form an opinion, I would rather support him when he behaves well and explain to him in a civil manor when he performs poorly and hopefully recommend a means of him doing better while still achieving his goals. I believe his primary goal is infamy. I believe he wants to leave a mark on the world and is willing to do anything he believes is necessary to achieve immortality. I thibk he believes that by manipulating the loudest and most dominant people in leadership, he will be given free reign to build a wall that can be seen from space and maybe even set the world on edge. He will achieve his goals too. I am sure that when presented with sound reasoning and concepts he would be willing to support it and make it happen if it will help him achieve greatness. I believe we can manipulate him into doing great things that are good for us all... all we need is an angle which will feed his ego sufficiently.
We used to watch three or four people tell us the news, and generally speaking most of us trusted that
Generally speaking, that 'most of us' was stupid if they trusted it. We trusted Dan Rather till he got caught, some still make excused for him so they don't have to admit their oversight. Sounds like Tim Cook likes to assume everyone else fell for the same crap he did.
The internet has caused its own set of problems with news, but that doesn't mean we aren't better off.
Reality has a well known left-wing bias.
People unironically believe this.
No, reality doesn't conform to anyone's politics. Reality has a fascist bias. Your ideology doesn't mean shit when Achmed is sawing your head off.
That said, a political ideology that at least tries to take reality and human nature into account is going to do better than one that tries to force its preferences onto reality. There are not 47 genders, men and women are different, human evolution is real and did not magically stop in everything but skin color when man stepped out of Africa meaning racial differences are more than skin deep. This is reality, but neither left-wing politics nor your corporate media pals on CNN or MSNBC acknowledge this reality.
To say reality has a left-wing bias is to top ignorance with hubris. Now add in belligerence and you're right at home with your antifa friends.
We don't have a state-run media we have a media-run state.
Is that really true? I doubt it.
Tim Cook is gay. I hate gays. Can't be trusted.
I have not bought a single Apple product since Tim Cook is gay was made public.
Boycott gay Apple!
Did we ever have nonbiased journalists? Yellow news wasn't some 21st century invention. There has always been a tilt and agenda in anything for public consumption. Town cryers were propaganda agents before literacy kicked in. If we drop the fallacy that news services are somehow neutral observers, and read it for what it's worth, we would all be better off. Skepticism and multiple sources are great. Automated news feeds showing you the same echo chamber is creating a dangerous bubble.
I don't want to be rude or troll, I sincerely believe what I will reply to your comment
There is a huge fraction of the population (at least in my country, .mx) that do not want to be told what to think, but people are pragmatic, since it looks terribly complicated or even likely that the things will change for good, the simply let the world/humanity go on, that does not mean people are happy, or that they will accept much more crapy things from gobernment/media/etc
Let's go with something "new" as example: the fake news issue. In México we had in the recent months a lot of issues with fake news, in politics, violence, clown jokes, etc. People all over the place came telling the terrible things that were happening here and there, only to eventually see that they were fake, so, in the last 3-4 months we passed from 50% of the people believing a lot of fake news, to current maybe 10% of them believing only those fake news that are quite plausible.
Is not that they wanted to be told what to think, they were over confident on the sources, but that changed a lot in very few months, I think that is a probe in favor of most people.
Yes, even in México we have racism, classism, and some other -isms, but by far they are not the majority, you can see a lot of poor/uneducated/whatever-classifier people that actually understand the tricks of politics and economics, and they are pretty conscious on what the real problem is about all the difficulties we are facing, so it is really likely that the last paragraph you wrote will happen a lot in the next months years.
I'm positive, don't belive me look at my karma
Maybe you've been a racist and a fascist, but no one called you out because people felt you were one of the isolated cases that would eventually learn of your mistakes or you never spoke out until recently. An admittedly large oversight and fatal mistake but hindsight is 20:20. Instead, you were largely ignored and labeled an unharmful relic of older US culture and left alone to continue your ways, expected to be phased out. Now, every racist, bigot and fascist feels empowered as if that behavior is now acceptable, largely thanks to President Bannon and his pet Donald Trump.
Disclaimer: Idk you or pose this is as truth for your case, but this is a reasonable hypothetical possibility. I know I wasn't aware how many bigots were near me until recently they started vocalizing their opinions and referencing sheer conspiracy theories, using tabloids and evidence. They were always quite nice in person. To be fair, the very same events brought out ignorant ultra left wing liberals that support ideas with no apparent rationale.
Whilst it's true that anyone can influence you online, the missing and important point is that social media is built around a small number of platforms, and whoever controls the platforms controls the narrative.
... when Achmed is sawing your head off.
human evolution is real and did not magically stop in everything but skin color when man stepped out of Africa meaning racial differences are more than skin deep.

What brand of hearing aid did you buy about two years ago, meta-monkey?
the people using violence to intimidate their political opponents, and the people starting fires and breaking windows and boycotting businesses are (as ALWAYS) the people on the LEFT (just like the National Socialist German Workers Party in the 1930s - some things never change).
After all that talk about violence at Trump rallys, it turned out that the Hillary team was funding, training and organizing the thugs that went to those rallies to start the fights and Trump was right that his people were not the instigators when he told them to punch back (go to YouTube and look at the undercover project veritas videos of the Democrat campaign thugs bragging)
Of course, the violent right wing theme was proven by all the violent riots in 2008 when people on the right were freaked-oout by the election of Obama.... oh, wait, there WERE no riots by people on the right back after the Obama elections. Right-wing entertainers in 2008 and 2012 did not tell Americans to boycott Democrat businesses. Right-wing politicians in 2008 did not oppose Obama's cabinet picks en-masse (the Republicans in the Senate nearly all voted to confirm even the nomiinees they found highly objectionable). Right wing college kids burned nothing, broke no windows, ran no Obama supporters off of campus to prevent their free speech. Right wing mobs did not march through the streets blocking traffic and intimidating the public.
The full-on accusation of "NAZI" does not truly apply to either side of the spectrum in the US where neither side has massacred millions of people of a specific ethinicity, but YOUR side has been flinging that 'NAZI' term around like monkeys flinging poop, so its only fair that you face the facts on the below-the-level-of-geneocide similarities.
The brown shirted violent intimidation and business boycotting is and alway has been leftist. NAZI brown shirts trashed the businesses of their opponents, demanded boycotts of the businesses of their opponents, beat-up their opponents, screamed and yelled and marched throught the streets in huge mobs, while blocking the speech of their opponents. Neither you nor Bannon has killed millions, so neither is NAZI-like at that level, but if you want to look at tactics then Your team is the NAZI-like team, and you're too stupid and ill-informed to even notice that YOUR side is the side using EXACTLY the same tactics as the actual NAZIs
The problem is it's impossible to defend CNN when they do shit like this. When Trump calls CNN "fake news," he's not wrong.
We don't have a state-run media we have a media-run state.
his first name is Robert, and he used to work for Bill clinton. He can now be seen, like most left-wing flunkies, "teaching" the young-and-gullible at a university.
oops
I thought you were looking for 1/4th Reich.
My bad
Or maybe it's because the left changed the definitions of racism and fascism to suit themselves? When I was a kid I was taught to judge a man by the content of his character and not the color of skin. So, when a black man is shot by a white cop, I observe that in this instance the black man happened to be a violent criminal who was attacking the officer and the officer was defending himself, so I judge the content of this particular black guy's character as "dirtbag" and so I don't care about the shooting. Good for the officer. The left insists that no, I must judge the white cop by the color of his skin as white (and therefore bad and in the wrong) and the dirtbag by the color of skin as black (and therefore good and oppressed) and demand the head of the cop.
This isn't what racism used to be. You fuckers on the left changed the definition so you can call your political opponents racist. Doesn't make it so. The right didn't go insane. The left went off the goddamn deep end with their 47 genders and race riots for thugs and white privilege bullshit.
We don't have a state-run media we have a media-run state.
You have some strange ideas about the political left.

No, I mean the left wing bias that infuriates people and causes them to say things like "I'm not racist, but..." or scream "stop calling me a Nazi all the time just because I like Hitler and ethnic cleansing".
Seriously, that Richard Spencer guy is actually annoyed that people point out that "peaceful ethnic cleansing" and an admiration for Hitler and a tendency to associate with neo Nazis is getting him labelled unfairly. And Steve Bannon, poor guy, all he does is repeatedly say the things that a white supremacist would say and people start accusing him of actually being one! As if the things he says somehow indicate what his beliefs are!

This is because conservatism is the politics of nostalgia and ignoring things that only affect other people.
There's nothing wrong with a country putting its own interests first, and that is not incompatible with caring about and helping others.
Trump wants things to be like the 1950s again. It's even in his campaign slogan: Make American Great Again, as in it used to be great and should go back to that state.
Straw man. You seem to be implying that he supports racist/sexist/homophobic action when that's not true. Being great does not mean completely without flaws, and being great again does not mean reverting to the exact same state (see links).

The alt-right like this, because after all it is a movement that started with white supremacists. In the 1950s, white people had more rights and power than others. Of course it sucked if you were not white, but... meh, it's those people's own fault or something.
As a conservative, I only started hearing the term alt-right a few months ago on Reddit, so I have no idea about its origin, but most of what I saw were reasonable people unhappy with the way things are going (though of course there were also a few crazies, like in any community). Trump got more minority votes than any Republican candidate in 40 years. Don't tell me that him or the majority of his supporters are white supremacists when they cheer him for telling him like it is.

And that's what the new alt-right media offers: comfort.
I actually agree that the alt-right media offers comfort, because I find comfort in the truth. I find comfort that there are people out there publishing well-reasoned arguments because I'm tired of being force-fed a narrative. I find comfort when I see people rationally debating over things without screaming and violence. I find comfort that when an alt-right journalist says that it's insane that we can be accused of racism for saying "I don't see race." I find comfort in the fact that half of my fellow Americans haven't been completely brainwashed even if many are afraid to speak up because of a violence-promoting left, as was recently shown in Berkeley.

Reality has a well known left-wing bias.
Left-wing liberalism is a very recent phenomena in the history of mankind, having only been around since the 20th century. It's also a very localized phenomena, afflicting only the rich white-man countries of Western Europe, N. America and Australia. To the vast majority of the human population, liberalism is an utterly foreign concept.
In other words, it's a fad.
Don't believe me? Let's take all the refugees/illegal immigrants that liberals love so much. In the U.S. they are mostly from Mexico, China, Middle Eastern countries. Yes these recent arrivals all vote Democrat, but is it because they're actually liberal? Or is it because they just want free stuff and the ability to bring in more of their friends/family into the country, which the Dems promise them?
I'll start with China since I'm actually from there and very familiar with the culture. There is NO FREAKING LIBERALISM THERE! The culture is very conservative. Hard work, family values, obeying the laws. Drugs? Sex? Rock and roll? If you get caught selling drugs they will EXECUTE YOU. Women's rights? Yeah we treat our women decently, but when it turns out that the entirety of high ranking government officials are all male, or 95% of business leaders are all men, nobody gives a shit and there is no outrage that women are not represented in leadership positions. That's because people just expect that men make better leaders than women. We are also quite patriotic and proud of our culture. We don't burn our nation's flag and indulge in self-hatred, maybe because we didn't enslave blacks or kill off native Indians and therefore don't carry this massive guilt around.
I'm not as familiar with Muslim culture, but from what I've read it's even less liberal than Chinese. At least we don't stone women to death for showing some skin or whatever. And I'm pretty sure gay rights movement is not a thing in Muslim countries.
Mexican culture does seem somewhat more liberal than Chinese or Muslim, but that could just be osmosis from being next to USA. Also Mexico is partly white from their Spanish heritage. But again, I don't see much liberal activism there, there's no big welfare culture there and there wasn't any outrage from Mexican liberals when the government of Mexico started building a wall on its southern border to keep out illegal immigrants from El Salvador.
So yeah, liberalism is recent, it's confined to white man countries, and probably will die off in the near future. Any nation that goes full liberal really can't last very long. Hating your own country, wanting to destroy your own culture, hating your nation's founders and historical heros, this is the symptom of a nation wanting to commit suicide.
I spent five yeas in school learning how to eliminate bias from my observations.
What's unfortunate about making sure something is accurate? The former "gatekeepers" weren't that good at it.
Eh, tl;dr version: We are on our own
“He’s not deformed, he’s just drunk!”
Even Cronkite read some fake, and lots of slanted, news. This is nothing new, yellow journalism launched the Spanish-American war. The golden age of television tried to bring the appearance of integrity to its news, but that was just to make the crowd control more effective when it was deemed necessary.
Now we've got crowdsourced news, and it's totally out of control - the major outlets have more or less abandoned "equal time" and "neutrality" and just feed their audience what they want to hear. People are putting more and more faith in direct person-to-person communication, it's an interesting trend, potentially destabilizing.
No, I mean the left wing bias that infuriates people and causes them to say things like "I'm not racist, but..." or scream "stop calling me a Nazi all the time just because I like Hitler and ethnic cleansing".
People say the former because there are so many hyper-sensitive people around that they're genuinely afraid of being attacked (either verbally or otherwise) simply for sharing their opinion. For example: I think that BLM is a hypocritical movement that doesn't care about black lives because 95% of murders are black-on-black and their chants of "kill the police" make cops afraid to patrol their neighborhoods and the result is even more black-on-black killings in their absence. It's not a racist statement and I don't hate blacks, but I have been accused of racism for saying that.
As to the latter... who ever said anything about ethnic cleansing? Stop with the straw mans.
Seriously, that Richard Spencer guy is actually annoyed that people point out that "peaceful ethnic cleansing" and an admiration for Hitler and a tendency to associate with neo Nazis is getting him labelled unfairly.
I'm not informed enough about Richard Spencer to say anything about this, but I'd like you to cite some examples. I'd also recommend that you keep in mind that admiring an attribute of a person doesn't make you adopt their views on everything. Wagner was Hitler's favorite composer and plenty of non-antisemites enjoy his music as well. Schwarzenegger admitted to admiring Hitler's speaking ability and leadership, though not what he did with it. Obviously all of these things are easily spun into something negative-sounding, but they don't actually mean that these people are Hitler or even bad people.
And Steve Bannon, poor guy, all he does is repeatedly say the things that a white supremacist would say and people start accusing him of actually being one! As if the things he says somehow indicate what his beliefs are!
Again, please cite some examples.
So you're saying a white kid playing with a toy gun is just as likely to get shot by a police officer as a black kid?
Because no, that insanity doesn't happen. If there was no problem with police violence and racism, then people would judge them by the color of their skin. You have cause and effect reversed.
Are Nazi racists fascist bigots!
The news about the right wing wingnut in Canada shooting up a mosque is equally ignored compared to the stories you say are suppressed. The right has no right to demand that their own hateful propaganda is supreme over the factual news which is what you people are arguing for. The problem is not that there are bad people in any community you care to mention. The problem is that there are fucking racists like you cunts who want to pick a fight with someone who is not white and Christian because you are hiding among white Christians who you can scare into a holocaust against a minority. No doubt you are driven by a need to end the world because of your particular religion but the rest of us would quite like to bring up our families and not to engage in war and persecution which fuckers like you are constantly demanding. 30,800 people a year die in automobile accidents in the United States but racist fuckers like you spend their entire lives inciting lynching of minorities - of which precisely two who killed in recent history may have come from a foreign country. You just do not like people who have a different colored skin do you, you nasty spiteful little boy.
Facts are history now plebs have politics for religion on social media.
men and women are different
About 99% of the time when people say that, they mean "me and women are different in a way exactly given by the social norms in the country I identify with in the 1950s golden age which never actually existed as I think it did". Of those, about another 99% are using it as an excuse to make a judgment call on someone purely on the basis of their genitals.

Reality has a well known left-wing bias.
That's why the glorious Soviet Socialist Republics finally triumphed in the cold war against American and the right-wing capitalists.
And why China has dropped from shining towers and a well-fed populace to wooden shacks and starving impoverishment since they strayed from their socialist ideals.
It's why Venezuelans have become rich and content since Hugo Chavez put them on the path to a workers paradise. (That took hardly any time at all.)
It's also why Zimbabweans have billion dollar notes and dominate world culture.
I was astounded when some delusional right-winger tried to claim that, "left-wingers will believe any old shit if it confirms their biases and you wrap it up in a soundbite". With all those examples of and the deep impoverishment, both economically and culturally, in places like Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, etc. how could someone be so blinkered?

Throughout the 90s, nobody even thought about Islam: everybody assumed that since the Cold War was over, we would live happily ever after. That despite things like the First WTC bombing, the Khobar Towers bombing, the Embassy bombings in Kenya & Tanzanya, the USS Cole and finally 9/11.
And since 9/11, there have been more that 30,000 deadly Jihad attacks worldwide, this before there were any US troops in Afghanistan or Iraq. Yeah, there were US troops in KSA, but that was at the behest of the Saudi government in response to Saddam Hussein's 1991 occupation of Kuwait. People make the same assumptions you do b'cos they know nothing about the Islamic doctrines of Jihad, and the necessity to keep spreading Islamic law worldwide until Islam becomes supreme

The fucking "press," died a few years ago. Journalists have all but disappeared.
"Reporters," are actually actors who go from the makeup chair to the anchor desk on visual media to read the teleprompter.
MSM is tapping into external content like YouTube as filler. I tell my wife, while watching David Muir talking up a cute kid tublet, "That video snippet was viral two days ago in the intertoobs.
"News," has been monetized and is actually, "entertainment."
Know who's fault all that shit is?
Surprisingly, it's you and me.
We are served that which which attracts our eyeballs.
We don't want no fucking real news.
We want sensational stories and we enjoy criticizing ourselves for our goddam tastes in "news."
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
The press tone hasn't changed, it's just that the republicans have moved from conservative to fascist.
Nope. It's that democrats and academia have gone so radically left, defending traditional liberal arguments has become a conservative position.
The terms 'racist', 'bigot', and 'fascist' are so abused by the left nowadays they hardly mean anything at all.. Basically they hurl those epithets whenever someone disagrees with their platform and has the temerity to point out why.
And when a white cop shoots a black in the back, he was right to fear for his life. Because the "criminal" might have farted in his general direction.
You have a Birther-in-Chief who promotes hate speech against judges doing their job, misrepresenting born Americans as "Mexicans" because of the color of their skin.
Are you surprised a troll managed to create an angry mob?
No. Reality is whatever it is. Bias implies a distorted view of it. This prevents full understanding, especially when the bias is there to compartmentalize emotional response. To assume ones own doctrine is completely unbiased is arrogant as hell. I hope you can defend it.
You do realize that your definition covers socialism as well? It's also an old idea that's been around at least since the late 1700s, and the last 100 years of application has had dubious results at best. The aftermath of Germany's national socialism and Russia's international flavor, Red China, and of course, North Korea has shown just how dehumanizing it can be. The current attempts in the EU are tearing that alliance apart as the international bureaucracy imposes itself more and more. Perhaps you should steer clear of argument from antiquity and focus on arguing merit instead. Of course, I understand that merit is considered bigotry today by progressive thought (eg "Myth of the Meritocracy") and that we should all be praying our sin awa..err I mean checking our privilege. How convenient.
Comfort? Did you watch the MSM coverage of the election's aftermath? They were so smug and sure their favorite was going to win that when she didn't, the conflict between reality and their ideological assumptions was briefly laid bare to them. Talk about a mass 'triggering.'
The "I'm not racist but" prefix is to stave off the irrational stampedes that occur when one of your precious 'oppressed class' is criticized by one in one in your 'oppressor classes'. The irrationality is rooted in your ideology, not in individual people expressing their opinions and/or making arguments. The latter example is just an ad hominem as well as a non-sequitur. Every large political position has its loons.. For every neo-nazi you can find, there are likely many times the number of feminists supporting mandated castration and black lives matter people shouting "kill whitey". Why? Because the former hasn't been acceptable for half a century now, while the latter's expression is celebrated as emancipation. Of course, you will likely deny this hypocrisy and try to justify it with all the logical loop twisting antics of Kent Hovind and his banana.

Just recently, a cop in Sweden spoke out about the massively disproportionate crime rates among non-European people. He's been accused of a hate crime and may be prosecuted for speaking the truth.
The truth isn't always pleasant. Maybe crime helps cause poverty as well as vice versa. Maybe poor genes are somewhat responsible for poor IQs (and not just nutrition and culture).
Reality has a right-wing bias. If you think DNA has nothing to do with the 60 IQ point difference between Jews and Australian aborigines, then you may have been successfully brainwashed by the media, educational system and the left generally.

It is difficult for people with a political bias that requires they conform to a narrative to put that aside and examine the world though a scientific lens, like evolutionary biology or some such. They cannot be unfaithful to their party even if the facts directly contradict what they have been told by their leaders and cohorts. This is merely one example of why I consider people who label themselves according to other people's terms, especially political labels, as mentally compromised.
They will sell out the truth to defend a lie that furthers a cause that cares nothing for them. This behavior is completely illogical, self destructive, and fundamentally divisive and I cannot begin to fathom why someone would do this.

Better realize that the only thing that modern feminism supports is their own supremacist ideology. Because feminists supporting castration? Yeah that exists. Then there's the ones that support killing large segments of the male population because "reasons." And then there's the ones that support infanticide of male babies, and the other ones that are in support of using abortion directly against male babies. Then there's the feminists who are openly in support of FGM because you can't speak out against that backwards culture that believes in it. All the while supporting the same people who beat their wives is fine, as long as they aren't western.
Perhaps it's time to get out of your bubble.

Not to back-up whomever you're responding to, but Germaine Greer has proposed mandatory sterilization for all men. Of course, that's not quite the same thing as castration. And, well, it's Germaine Greer, knowwhatimean? But I wonder if the GP heard that Greer proposed that filtered through a game of telephone.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.

There's quite a few feminists hold extremist view points. It's actually become bad enough that the less radical feminists call them out for it, and are attacked for their trouble. Whether said attack is via social media, peer pressure, doxing or threats. It much like the broader scope of social justice is so far down the marxist rabbit hole, that anything right of Lenin is considered extremism in their eyes.

No, I mean the left wing bias that infuriates people and causes them to say things like "I'm not racist, but..." or scream "stop calling me a Nazi all the time just because I like Hitler and ethnic cleansing".
You know the whole "I'm not racist, but..." bit is mainly prevalent in left-wing politics don't you? Most people on the right rejected identity politics for a reason, and the left decided to eat, breath, and shit it out for breakfast. That is if they're not engaging in overt racism in and of itself, or trying to claim that "diversity quotas" and "preferential hiring" instead of hiring based on race instead of merit isn't actually racism or sexism.
Yeah, I can't find anything that Bannon says outside of far-leftist or social justice circles that is considered "white supremacy."
Om, nomnomnom...
Their ideas aren't "strange" about the political left. Those are the ideas that the left espouse on a regular basis. Pick your favorite search engine, and you'll find that those aren't minority opinions among the left. They're majority opinions, and it's also the reason why the left is losing their foothold in nearly every western country. You're living in a political bubble, go read a years back opinions on a site like samizdat and get back to everyone.

Haven't looked very hard then. I suggest looking at the existing matriarchies in the world. When you do, you'll figure out that western society did in deed grow out of the norms. Most other societies have not, which is why women aren't allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia. And in islamic countries, they're considered not only inferior, but worth less then children in the eyes of the law.

You mean that "left-wing bias" which gives rise to things like 20 years of screaming "the nazis/white supremacists are coming."
I'd hardly say they were wrong, as of today.
Not that I think Trump is either of those things, really, but it really is undeniable that a lot of his political power comes from people with fascist and white supremacist leanings. To ignore that is to try to alter reality.
You posted an article by a person and ascribed it to a movement that obviously doesn't support that viewpoint.
I mean, that alone indicates you're either woefully stupid, or highly manipulative.
The part you don't realize, is in doing this, you put someone making the argument that all Trump supports are racist coneheads on equal moral and intellectual honesty footing as you... Which limits our choices for your description to either woefully stupid, or woefully stupid and shitty at manipulation.
Come on, dude.

I'm not saying that argument is better than yours, but I think you may have fired off yours as if it somehow held more weight than conflicting viewpoints.

I don't have statistics, but I've observed that a police officer can shoot an unarmed black child with no warning and no time taken to evaluate the situation and get away with nothing more than paid administrative leave. Last I heard, those police haven't had their cities burned down, their character committed suicide before it could be assassinated, and they're doing just fine.
Your facts would appear to be alternative.

Not my observation. My observation is that there's a lot of racism and bigotry in the country that people don't want to admit to, and that some Republicans are working on the sort of state-corporation alliance that characterizes fascism. Trump, in particular, seems to want to be Fuehrer rather than President.

Mr. Fryer found that in such situations, officers in Houston were about 20 percent less likely to shoot if the suspects were black.
You appear to not have any facts, you just watch how the media turns any shooting of a black person into national news and ignores the shooting of whites. Cops are therefore more likely to shoot an unruly white person because nobody cares about another dead cracker.
Your media sources would appear to be fake news.

Most people on the right live by identity politics. They perceive the world from a point of privilege, and attempt to shoot down any way of reducing the privilege gap. People like them deserve consideration, and people not like them don't. The status quo is that they're more privileged, and they see no reason to stop that. It's not identity politics as much on racial grounds as on social grounds, so the racism is to some extent incidental.
White privilege exists. I consider it decent treatment that should be normal for everyone, but it isn't. It includes being taken seriously, getting some automatic respect, being punished less for the same crimes, that sort of thing. It doesn't mean getting anything you want just because you're a white man.
If you can't find anything on the right wing that is some form of white supremacy, you've drunk gallons of the Kool-aid. Some of it is old-fashioned "whites are better". Much of it is assuming that people have equal opportunity, and that lower performance by disadvantaged groups is their own fault. A lot of it is assuming that the world as they see it is normal and

C'mon, give us credit for having many more ways to insult you than that.

It was in her Guardian column, which should date it quite a bit because, IIRC, she stopped writing there after that spat she had with Suzanne Moore. I just tried the Guardian's own website but I don't think they host archives of her column alas.
Her argument went something along the lines of "Men and women want to have sex all the time, right now the onus is on the woman to avoid getting pregnant if either the man or woman doesn't want to become a parent yet. What we should do instead is have all men bank their sperm, get the snip, and then everyone can fuck as much as they want. When it's time to have a baby, they can get the sperm from the sperm bank."
It makes sense in a horrifying kind of way...
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
Oh, I see. Yes, rather extreme, almost wonder if she was serious. In any case, it's not really sterilization, certainly not castration.
I'm not trying to be argumentive, it's just that the right does love to misrepresent what people say. I'm mostly concerned with the facts.

Fascinating, Thanks for the cite, and for answering my request for statistics.
What that means is that, in an arrest, police in the studied cities were less likely to shoot blacks they stopped, and more likely to use less lethal violence. The paper also points out that police are more likely to stop blacks than whites.
So, which of my media sources would be fake news? There are two fairly recent highly publicized cases of a police officer coming up to a black child and killing said child and not being prosecuted. You should be able to find sources yourself if you doubt mine. They make much better cases for BLM than people like Michael Brown. Aside from that, I didn't say anything that needs a source.
