    The foundations of Trump's rise to power were laid by both parties. Taking people's futures from them and telling them it's their own fault was never going to end well.

    Wanting the keep the ability to feed, clothe and house yourself is exhibiting socialistic tendencies now. I guess that makes you a socialist then doesn't it.

    You acted like it was no different to Trump supporters doing it. It is. It's very different. If you can't see that then I wish you'd take your "my team can do no wrong" bullshit and fuck off.

    Idiocy is it? To expect no prejudice against trans women at an LGBTQI+ event? I'm "the left" as well you sanctimonious prick and I'm disgusted by what happened. Please explain why you aren't.

    You're not shocked by trans people being attacked by gay rights activists because Trump?

    Anti-trans bigotry from the left at a Pride March should shock and appal you. Why doesn't it?

    A lot of Trump's base like Putin and think he's a great leader but aside from that Putin allowing policies that hurt his closest allies financially when he allegedly has the power to have sanctions loosened sounds unlikely.

    There are multiple reasons why Trump is in the White House. Putin may have been a factor but he's not the only one and I think you're giving him more credit than he deserves

    I wonder why Trump's boss is not making him remove the current sanctions on Russia and why he's allowing him to impose fresh ones.

    European devs can do way better than a job trying to decipher a 40 year old mess of COBOL. There's a big shortage of 21st century skills too.

    This is the kind of behaviour that GDPR is for. Not for harassing small traders but real punishment for significant failings from corporations that see these pitiful fines as just a business expense.

    Poor whites have definitely suffered all of that treatment by their "betters" for a great deal longer than the USA has existed. Have a look at the history of Europe sometime.

  20. This is the "tolerance" of the nouveau left. It's perfectly ok to treat people like shit if they don't subscribe absolutely to the one true faith.

    Being stuck on an old version of Android with unpatched security flaws is better than being on the latest version of iOS (which is updated much more regularly than once a year)? Of course it is. There's nothing wrong with Android but the ecosystem sucks.

    No, people want a perfectly useful and functional part of their device to be left there, not to have to buy extra pieces of hardware to provide an inferior replacement. Next you'll be suggesting people should buy a new car to accommodate the idiotic decisions of hardware manufacturers. After all what's a few thousand bucks when you've already spent all that money on a phone?

    Not that I disagree with most of your points but the reason I'm sticking with my iPhone 6s is that Apple still provides updates for it after 3 years (and are still providing updates to the 5s after 5). Their stupid design decisions have put me off buying anything newer however but I don't see any Android manufacturers having that kind of length of update.

    I know about LineageOS but I think it's a bit shit having to rely on volunteer enthusiasts to keep a perfectly good phone updated with new functionality and security fixes. Android manufacturers like Samsung have shown that they give even less of a shit about their customers than Apple.
