    Anyone suggesting the suppression of information is the enemy of free thought. I make it a point to read more opinion that I disagree with than those which I agree. What's the point of an echo chamber?

    The demonization of Fox News is part of the strategy. The ops question about it being illegal to hire foreigners to a campaign? Did you know the Obama campaign also paid over $1 million to FusionGPS to dig dirt on Romney? Fox News reported it but since you've been programmed to ignore them completely I guess that'll be news to you.

    We have no idea if the Obama campaign did any of those things because ALL of the media and their "journalists" were too busy fawning and covering for him to do any actual investigating into what his campaign was doing. If the Obama administration and campaigns had faced 1/10th of the scrutiny that Trump has you might be shocked at was uncovered.

    Unless you take into account scarcity. Prices are still high because supply can't keep up with demand and the GPU manufacturers hesitate to increase supply because the crypto craze might end soon.

  6. Good grief. Someone else who has no idea what a Nazi really is. But you sure are proud of yourself though so whatever makes you feel more virtuous..

  7. Labeling those you disagree with as "neo-nazis" and ideas you disagree with "hate-speech" is not meant to sway those people to your side, its designed to keep the ignorant on the plantation.

    We get it. Your side is morally and intellectually superior (virtuous) so doing these things is OK. In other words, rules are only weapons to be used against those you disagree with.

    It would be nice to have Zuckerburg asked under oath about who he's willing to sell everyone's data to. Also which politicians he's given it to for free.

    The Obama campaign invented the deep-dive into Facebook data for their 2008 and 2012 campaigns. They not only openly bragged about doing what CA did and far more, but somehow the media fawned all over him for it. Odd, that:

  19. Prospered? Are you joking? FDR's policies only worsened the Great Depression. It took a world war to end it.

  20. " A 10-15% VAT tax, like most of the rest of the world has, would pay for UBI and universal healthcare."

    Then it should be simple for you to name a place in the world that has UBI and universal healthcare.

    ""Free money for all" does get you the vote from those people."

    Unless they happen to have a very basic understanding of economics. If printing a ton of fiat and handing it out to the population worked then the US Gov't would've been doing it for the past 100 years.

  25. Also be sure to look up what happens when fiat currency is printed at will without the corresponding increase in GDP to back it up. Zimbabwe, anyone?
