Please its not the media that protects America from getting a dictator, its the sprawling system of power, and although not perfect was a really good first attempt at a Peoples Government.
Even after the Federal government grew in power enormously relative to the States, it still cannot happen. Thats how resilient the system was when it started. I think if the founding fathers had foreknowledge they would have done it a bit differently, as obviously the Federal government is way too removed from people to justify that much power. A fascist health care plan, for instance, gets passed in spite of the majority of the country having been against it, precisely because the Federal government is so far removed from The People.
You are missing it, thereby fucking up cause and effect.
The workers party. Fighting the good fight against the rich. The Jews became the poster child for their 1%, the people that had to be stopped, but the hatred of the Jews wasnt the cause, it was the effect. Had to make a villain.
All the ethnic and racial hatred was the effect, not the cause. The modern day left still decries the rich, manufactures easily classified villains from it.
The left are the problem not because of their ideals, but because they so commonly transition from jealousy to hatred, and then cant stop the genocides that they triggered because "the workers party" is a super majority. The left is always trying to get people to hate a small group of people. Every once in awhile the left has so much power, such large numbers, that it turns into an unstoppable genocide.
Fuck the left. I propose a new direction: Up, with some of the ideals of the left but none of the jealousy that enrages the left.
The fact is that the NAZI's rose to power on socialism, the workers party. They drummed up support vilifying the one percent - Mostly Jews in that case. Once they had a lock on power they took away everyones guns and more importantly took over the schools. It took 20 years to raise the generation that went to war.
If taking away guns, taking over the schools, vilifying the rich, all on the pretense of being socialists... being the party of the workers... is in any way "right wing" I must not know what right wing means, because its exactly what the left is today. Bullet point for bullet point exactly the same.
The redefinition that came afterwards, the one that labeled the Nazi's as "right wing" is based on the notion that fascism is right wing, but it isn't. Every major case of fascism so far in the world has been from the left. The Nazi's rose to power as the workers party, and so did the Fascists of Italy.
Adolf Hitler - Rose to power via NAZI - National Socialist Workers Party
Mussolini - Rose to power via PSI - Italian Socialist Party
You dont get to change the facts of history buddy. Fascism comes from the left, again and again.
Dont you understand... everything the Democrats both do and don't do is the Republicans fault.
There arent many things significantly worse than Republicans, but fuck... Democrats are.. way worse.. worst people ever these days. Their behavior is just complete scumbag anti-social shit - they are scorching the earth on their way out of the political scene.
Part of the problem is the religion. I'm sure some Democrats and SJW's are going bonkers for having just read that, but the thing about religious fundamentalism is that its based on the fundamentals of the religion.
You are talking about Turkey, where even though it is considered one of the more moderate Muslim countries, the majority of the population believes that suicide bombing against non-combatants is justified if its in the defense of the faith. Thats from actual polling data.
So even in moderate places, the fundamentals, what the majority believes....yeah...
What is happening in Turkey isnt the government dumbing down the people. Its the government reflecting a dumbed down people.
I am simply stating facts about knowledge. Peer review just isnt a good measure of accuracy in practice.
Science that isnt reproduced of course should be treated differently than science that has, right? Would you not agree that the reproduction is a significant factor in determining veracity?
The peer review process is a facade that often presents theory as science. The review process is not science and is not a part of science. Its a part of the journal model. It is literally an invention by Journal for Journals.
Does this mean that something that cant be reproduced because ___valid reasons___ is weighted less? Yes, because it should be weighted less. That stuff they are doing at CERN, some of it is the only record in existence of things and sure, its probably good science, but anything that isnt reproduced has a different fucking scientific status because see the definition of science.
These folks are not playing the game that you think they are playing. They are rent seeking and its not new for them. The software/game industry is another thing. While there exists an anti-piracy software association, it really is concerned with the misguided attempt at ending the piracy of the products and this association does not speak for the industry. The RIAA and MPAA on the other hand DO speak for their respective industries. They *are* their respective industries, and I think that might be even on by-writ legal basis where these two associations represent even companies that dont want to be represented by them and never signed up to be represented by them, although I may be missing a separation here where its only ASCAP that enjoys this legal status.
RAAA/MPAA seeks to leverage the fact of piracy for financial gain. Not true of that dumb software association.
Many countries put a tax on blank media and send the money to the RIAA and MPAA, "because piracy." Rent seeking. Not the same as software/games at all.
Aaron was never convicted of anything. He was a troubled kid that already had issues, and faced _up to_ a lot of years in jail. He may have been given something like an 18 month sentence with credit for time already served.. etc.. maybe would never set foot in the general population of a federal prison (btw: the federal prisons are the easier ones...)
You see the same thing in poker tournaments, all-be-it for much lower stakes. For some players the pressure builds and builds and then all of a sudden, all at once, they do something to release the pressure. They bring their evening to a resolution. Either they bust out right now for no good reason or they get lucky and accumulate a lot of chips (which also releases the pressure.) Their evening moves from out-of-control to under-control via the (attempted) "tournament suicide."
You see it on the battlefield. That guy that just can't take the pressure of a situation. Brings it all to a resolution without any critical thought.
While the poker players do it to "bring their evening to a resolution", Aaron killed himself to "bring his life to a resolution." He lost control of his fate and did what some people instinctively/subconsciously do when that happens.. he took control back. Just like some poker players. Just like some soldiers during war.
I don't see how the Aaron Swartz situation is at all applicable here aside from the content being the same. Aaron (allegedly) did shit like break into closets. AFAIK the only crime these sci-hub folks have ever been accused of is copyright infringement, not breaking and entering, not hacking, not vandalism, not theft of service, etc. Aaron piled it on.
The fact is that the journal model has gotten very bad. When reproducibility rates in some fields are below 50%, that whole secret-data-secret-programming-secret-fails peer review thing just doesnt work over the long run.
Journals exist entirely because of the journal model. They must defend it. Its self defense.
I predict that in the future that "publishing" will simply mean opening up your data and your scripts publicly, by adding them to a central repository. "Peer review" will be when someone else reproduces your work and also opens up their data and scripts publicly, and not at any other time. We will no longer trust a "peer reviewer" that doesnt reproduce. After all, the only reason right now to trust the peer review processes is the unfounded belief that people arent trying to fake it. The system was bound to fail.
Did he admit that the claims of the women were true? The answer is no, he didn't.
Why are you lying? How come you and Barbara are lying about it? My guess is that you just read Barbara's comments where He lied, and are now just repeating it, because the truth isnt part of your agenda today. You agenda is your personal appearance.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but IMNSHO this is very simply something that, if you're at all ethical, or at least have the sense that God granted to a goose, *you don't do in a business setting*.
You are claiming that this stance of yours is old fashioned... in effect pretending that it has as much credibility as something old fashioned.
In the real world, both old and new, touching someones leg is neither a crime nor a sexual advance. It is only in social justice world that it is tantamount to grabbing someone by the pussy. In the real world, touching is used for many purposes. To get someone attention, to reassure them, to guide them out of danger, and yes even to flirt. Sometimes you even touch someone with the express purpose of seeing how they will handle it. Some people dont like to be touched. Some people love to be touched.
Notice how you are constantly attributing a motive? Yeah.. that is exactly what every social justice warrior has done every time. They attribute a motive, straw-man it right into the argument, because without motive the justice warrior has got nothing logical.
I have an honest question: Are all you social justice warriors on the autism spectrum? Thats the only explanation I have for you no-touching beliefs that doesnt make you a bad person. So is it true.. are you all fucking autistic?
Whats the simple definition of that? Oh thats right... its simply whatever you've decided is unprofessional.
...is an abuse of his employer's trust
implicitly dangling other people's money (the VC fund monies) in front of women as a means to manipulate them into bed with him.
Oh yes... except none of this happened. There was no sex. Not a single person is claiming that any sex happened. He didnt manipulate anyone... but here you are.. "simply" lying and saying that he did.
Caldbeck did not resign because he cared about being badmouthed by a bunch of women. He resigned because the writing was on the wall that "too much truth" would soon fall into the lap of his boss
Ah yes the "simple" thing of "too much truth" where you've decided that a crime that you have no evidence for and nobody else is claiming to have happened, is "simply" what its all about.
Are you for real? You are a fucking joke. You are harmful to society in the form you have currently taken. A dishonest fuck working in a way that wi,ll prevent anyone from getting any justice... and all so that you look like a justice warrior... fucking joke
3 comments, all critical of the women for complaining.
The first 2 comment I read were both from you, and both contained a fucking lie.
You fucking scumbag. Serious-fucking-ly. Someone is accused of a crime, and you come here and instead of trying to figure out what the truth is.... you start spreading lies about the person. Fuck off.
You arent even close to a good person, and thats putting you in the best light I can. In actuality you are a very bad person, you are harmful to functional society. Fuck off.
...but only if you are a man, and only if the person you asked was a woman, and still only when that woman wants to make you hurt. At that point you are guilty of being a man, a crime you cannot defend yourself against. Men are, after all, all that is bad and wrong with the world. Women on the other hand are made from sugar and spice and everything nice.
Notice how BarbaraHudson has posted more than once here that the guy "copped to it" and "admitted it"
Notice also that BarbaraHudson is lying.
This is why we dont believe it happened just because its been claimed to have happened. Not only might the people accusing him be lying, there is an army of liars literally already saying that the guy admitted it.
They want us to believe every rape accusation, but there is good reason to believe that "the general case" is a bunch of liars lying. Right here we got at least one... BarbaraHudson, scumbag slashdot liar.
At any rate, what makes you think that bedbugs won't become highly resistant to DDT, just as they have for most every other insecticide used on them?
I already said it. Apparently you ban-defenders can't even fucking read. Bed bugs were nearly wiped out, AS IN EXTINCT, and then we banned DDT.
And no, they didnt ban ddt for only for "agricultural use"... they banned it entirely. It wasn't until 2006 that they started allowing it for indoor use.... IN AFRICA ONLY... all these facts right here combined make you a lying fuck. You literally pretended to know something that you knew you didnt know. Surely you wont pretend to have simply been mistaken while getting a long series of facts wrong.
STOP PRETENDING TO BE EXPERTS WHEN YOU AREN'T YOU LYING FUCKS
Make sure your business checks have an account name like "Bobs Black Dildo Fantasies" so that when you send them their "money back, guaranteed!" they will be too self-conscious to cash it.

Why dont we remember that law when banning CO2 emissions?

The left also killed millions of people in Russia.
You are right, the biggest atrocities in history came from the left.
You dumbshits...

Give us single payer health care and you take away 90% of the justification of mandatory car insurance.
I didnt know single payer health-care pays for telephone poles. Good to know.
how jaded am I with my government ...
Not enough yet.

I think the reason the Democrats are blaming Putin is to destroy confidence in the election process.
Fixed that for you.
