Are you implying that white supremacists have a problem making their voices heard and that their message is unknown to a lot of people, because that is what you are implying with posting that comic under this story.
It is still relevant though, it is a pretty common tactic among fascists to drown out messages they don't like by shouting over it.
So is Jordan Peterson a white supremacist? How about Bernie Sanders? MRA's? There is indeed a fascist problem, but it's not coming from the right. It's coming out of the left, and some of the worst examples of it come out of the feminist and progressive spheres right now. It's gotten so bad on university campuses, that some administrators have finally had enough of the shit and are pushing to expel students who go down this route.
The alt-right has spent years infiltrating the GOP and manipulating opinion to make far right / supremacist views more acceptable and mainstream.
And that's where we drink the koolaid kids, because it didn't happen. You know what did happen? Conservatives got tired of the bullshit and kicked the neo-cons out, and believe that there's nothing wrong with nationalism(unlike Europe where this poster lives), where hanging the Union Jack would likely get you a visit from the police. But where oh where did those neo-cons run to? Oh right over to the left..strange how the left is suddenly very pro-war, and cheering Trump on for more of it...
Look at the reaction to Charlottesville. You might have expected widespread, unequivocal condemnation... But POTUS came out in support of the Nazis. At least they failed to completely take over the GOP and have been left with an ineffective government that is tearing itself apart as the traditional conservatives try to reclaim their party.
One of these days, you'll stop being a liar who's a hyper-partisan. I'm just hoping I see it the day that it happens. What he said was: "There are good people on both sides" and he "condemned the violence on both sides." If you believe anything else, you're a partisan hack that only takes one type of viewpoint. That you have such low and lack any understanding of US politics, is enough that you shouldn't make comments on it at all. Why don't you actually go live there for a few years. Maybe you can get out a head, and avoid the police state that you're currently living in and cheer on. Or you can keep staying there, and then wonder in half a decade why things are so bad. Never mind the warning signs like rotherham(and nearly a dozen other cities) and the police and council covering up thousands of teen and pre-teen rapes of girls. Or when the police charged a rape victim for hate speech for calling the muslim who raped her a bad name(never mind that until it became a national story he wasn't arrested, detained, or even charged).
I'd say that's what twitter is TRYING to do, but what they are REALLY doing is feeding into the persecution complexes of the alt-right.
The alt-right doesn't have to believe that it has a persecution complex. There is a persecution of ideas, viewpoints and discussion against not only them but of a variety of groups that don't fit within the progressive victimization sphere. The people outside of that sphere? Well it's alt-right(and alt-lite) sure, it's also conservatives, gamers, progressive muslims, gun owners, believe that gender is a binary, that trannies are mentally ill, and pretty much anyone else that they feel steps out of line with their orthodoxy.
Gab.ai, minds.com, and so on didn't come into existence in a vacuum. They came into existence because there are groups of people being silenced for wrong-think, wrong-speech, and whatever else. And the mindset in progressive circles right now seems to be: Silence them, and if you can't silence them, go after their income and/or families. This also doesn't endear them to anyone when they start screeching that if you don't believe whatever we tell you to believe you're a racist, sexist, misogynist, and also a neo-nazi. FYI: Believing in free speech being an absolute right is enough to make you a nazi in their books.
There comes a time you have to pick a side. So yeah "dad", we pick the side of the constitution. If that means we have to refresh the tree of liberty with the blood of you traitors, then so be it.
Funny that you're advocating for the exact side that's opposite to the constitution. Did you skip the part where antifa says "liberals get the bullet too." Yeah, I bet you did. The only people being traitorous here are the ones using violence in order to make changes that are shittier for everyone else. Too bad your parents didn't teach you that.
Being for antifa means you're a communist agitator that's trying to overthrow society. That's treason son. You sure you really want to go down that path?
You do not need to actually do anything to be a racist . . . if you are a white, middle-aged male . . . "You racist!"
You can also be not white, and still be a racist too. The current favorite among the left is to label asians(especially JP, CN, or PH) who support western ideals, democracy, free speech, etc. Is to label them as banana's aka "yellow on the outside, white on the inside." Which isn't any diffrent then the old house ni*ggers, uncle tom and other labels used by racists.
I hope the left is enjoying their identity politics, because this is the beast you created. Even funnier is just how far they'll twist themselves into a pretzel justifying their own bigotry or racism when you point it out to them.
And speak of the devil. EA is now trying to shift the narritive to "omg, woe is me, we've gotten death threats." bullshit to try and derail this. Of course no proof is offered at all.
So you stopped gaming because you had shit buying decisions? You've missed some pretty good games then like Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2, The Witcher series then. None of those games were purposely crippled, and in The Witcher series the developers gave content away free.
Not really, though I don't play these types of games anymore. I did way back in the Quake/RoTT/etc era though. People who are into the pvp-mmo style stuff can sink hundreds or thousands of hours into it. The top 5 games in my steam list are Skyrim, Fallout:NV, Stellaris, Civ4 and Star Trek Online those each top out between 400-1k hours each. A few of my friends have 600-700 hours in various CoD games.
What's happening though is people are having enough with the microtransactions, and then developers blaming gamers when there's a backlash, along with the gaming press screeching that "they're entitled brats" or some other type of garbage. There was a similar backlash against the ME3 ending for good reason, especially when game sites called gamers entitled. Same with the stuff over Kane & Lynch and then there's the Dorito Pope. People got a taste of that whole incestuous backlash with gamergate and sites screaming "gamers are dead, they don't have to be your audience" and so on. This is likely going to be just as big at the rate EA is doubling down on it.
I'm just waiting for them to try pulling the "death threats and sexual harassment" bullshit to try and deflect from their shit-tier garbage. I doubt though, that lawsuit will happen in the meantime. On top of that, getting people to realize and agree that it *is* gambling seems to be an upward climb. The number of people who will argue that it isn't gambling is staggering.
Pay phones in hospitals in Canada are not regulated and Bell Canada sub-contracts the billing to a third party operating in another province, that in turn is a subsidiary of a company based in the USA. Try taking that one to court.
It is regulated by the CRTC. You're supposed to be given a rate flyer when you come in for long-term stay. That's a violation of the patient-trustee relationship with the hospital board. You 100% can take that to small claims court to recoup the costs of it.
I'm really wondering if calls from prisons are included as part of their numbers here.
Maybe, you can buy phone cards from the canteen when you're in prisons here in Canada but the "local rates" are still supposed to apply otherwise. On top of that the phones must accept discount LD services(which the canteen is supposed to supply), something Bell and other phone ops don't get a cut of. Those companies are buying time in bulk, so it's already paid. On my route home, I can still count dozens of payphones through the cities I drive through. There's also payphones at nearly every convenience store that I drive past here in Ontario, there's still 3 pay phones out in front of the one convenience store near where I went to high school.
Sears killed itself by over-pricing it's competitors so that shouldn't be a surprise. When you can buy a snowblower from canadian tire for $300 and you can walk out the door with it and sears is selling the same model for $700 that will come in 4 days. It's pretty easy to see what's going to happen. Same with major appliances, clothing, and so on. Round that out with the absolute worst customer service around? It was one compounding stupid error on top of another.
Kinda like Target when they opened up here. Far too many stores, no inventory chain, hugely overpriced compared to their competitors. Many cases the store shelves were empty and they had no product to sell at all. Then there was the belief by the CEO that Canadians would "pay whatever we tell them to pay for goods." Sorry guys. The middle class in Canada is already stretched to the breaking point, that's not how it works.
Are you actually under the insane impression that Gamergate is remotely innocent? Because if so, you should really try what I'm smoking.
The FBI couldn't find any proof, so you tell me. The only proof they found was of 3rd party trolls, that was it. If you think gamergate is responsible for 'harassment' or 'doxing' or whatever bullshit some socjus is pushing, you should really dig into it more. It's kinda like how Sarkeesian cancelled a talk at a university in response to a gun threat(how it was presented to people by the media). The truth is that the state is open-carry, and they refused to comply to any of her demands regarding it. This was then followed up by Kotaku who said there was a bomb threat the day(or two after). Which happened 6 months before that. On the other hand? There's plenty of evidence of the big name anti-gamergate people simply being shitty humans. You've got the list of them who have been convicted by courts for rape/sexual assault, then the others who've been accused. Then the others who called in bomb threats to synagogues. Then there's the others that engaged in doxing and harassment, but that's a whole 'nother topic. I'm sure you might bring up "seattle4truth" but never mind that he'd been banned from every chan board, reddit sub, and ignored by anyone relating to GG roughly 3 months in. Went slowly insane, went anti-gg, and then went full conspiracy retard. But then I can always bring up the anti-gg die-hard feminist who blew his girlfriends head off. So you enjoy that shitshow.
Or you can go visit one of the anti-gg boards on reddit, and enjoy the shitshow of identity politics, active doxing, threats and harassment.
It was replaced. First by 4chan, then gamergate, and now Russia. Blaming someone else is the typical cop-out by people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions(or in-action).
I would say any such testing is inherently biased against recent immigrants from non-Western nations and the poor... those who either have a language barrier or an education barrier.
Bullshit. You have to pass a test just like that to gain US citizenship.
How does fingerprinting someone prevent assault? It's not as if Uber doesn't know who the driver was if an assault is reported by a passenger.
It doesn't, but it does let you track the passenger to the driver for instance. Providing that the driver is actually the driver, and not their second brother-in-law who's actually doing it.
Those self-driving cars are still likely a decade or more away as it is. It's not like automotive companies haven't tried all of this stuff on smaller scales and run into the same problems over and over again. Even going as far as to convert live pickers(lift trucks) and shunts(trucks that pick up trailers and back them into the loading dock) in warehouses to a "on rail" system where there's a guide wire in the floor/ground to help the trucks and lift trucks know where they're going and they'd still drive off, hit things and so on. There also will always be people who won't trust auto-driving cars too. Their biggest problem is staying afloat like the other ride-sharing companies because they're running out of VC cash.
Nope. It's a shakedown just like Al Sharpton. If they wanted to start working on the PR problem, they're start by phasing in all drivers to have a background check like social workers/primary care workers are required to have. It's far more indepth and goes beyond a surface background check. But, they(along with other ride-share companies) keep pushing that they're not cab companies. Cab companies require actual background checks in most countries besides having a chauffeurs license. They could actually one-up cab companies and become a dominant service just by marketing themselves on that.
Yeah bloody Europe with the higher standards of living. We don't want any of that here....
Depends on what you define as "higher standards of living." If higher standards mean the police will charge you with hate speech after being raped, yes we sure don't want that here. If higher standards mean being threatened by police for not wanting illegals who refuse to immigrate into society turning your area into a ghetto? Nope don't want those 'higher standards of living' either.
Slashdot Mirror
Which ones? Or is this a Trumpian "a lot of people are saying"?
Why don't you check out http://thefire.org/ and http://campusreform.org/ both who've been recording this type of garbage pouring out of academia for the last decade.

equals $25 per month.. which is far less than what telephone companies charges for the phone line to hook up a privately-owned pay phone.
Going by my last Bell Canada bill, you'd be spot on. The local charge was $32.85.
Pay phones in hospitals in Canada are not regulated and Bell Canada sub-contracts the billing to a third party operating in another province, that in turn is a subsidiary of a company based in the USA.
Try taking that one to court.

It's just like the garbage yesterday with "Trump and a koi pond and the 'international incident'" Never mind that Trump dumped the food in after Abe(who dumped ~1/3 of a box). Go on, watch those videos. It'll only take you 15 minutes, enjoy the lies, enjoy the bullshit while you're at it.
It was replaced. First by 4chan, then gamergate, and now Russia. Blaming someone else is the typical cop-out by people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions(or in-action).
And I'll bet you don't. Idiot.
When you're a real idiot, and the people who pushed it retracted it. Yes you might be a partisan hack, or just an idiot.
Going by your post, I bet you also believe that Trump dumped a box of fish food into a koi pond and it was an international incident.
