Meh, it's easy to imagine it. Just look at Arabia between 1900 and 1925. A mess of tribes all vying for control. And sooner or later one will get up and take over.
That fascism is related in some ways to other forms of authoritarian and totalitarian is irrelevant to the fact that fascism is in no way left-wing. I never claimed that there were any fascist governments in power today. In fact, whether or not there are or there aren't, it is irrelevant to my argument that fascism is not at all left-wing.
And if the GGP was referring to the authoritarian aspects of fascism and then saying that Washington is left-wing, then they are deluded, as well as miss using the language. If you want to say authoritarian, say it. If you want to say fascist, make sure you know what the fuck you are talking about first. It is quite incoherent to say left-wing fascist.
And I never even mentioned the war^HNazis. You did. But as you did, the Nazis were right-wing, and basically fascist. Nothing left-wing about their politics at all. They did use some socialist and left-wing imagery and iconography in an attempt to convince the workers to join them. But that was it. Not at all left-wing politically.
In conclusion, I'm not sure that you know what you are talking about.
You cock smoking teabaggers pay your $699 now. If all you degenerate Linux lusers had just paid the miserly fee, SCO would have easily bested IBM the first time around. Be denied the license fees that were rightfully theirs...
You do realize that left-wing fascist is an oxymoron. Fascism is a feature of the political right. Nationalism, strong militarized government, and inequality are all right-wing ideas, and all essential to fascism.
Did you vote in the last election? If you voted, then you are partly to blame for the problems in your society. By refusing to vote for evil, you are not supporting evil. And politicians are nothing if not evil.
Oh, but third party you might cry. First: Waste of time. Second: Evil anyway. Third: Will be cooperated by the system and become evil even if you don't think that they are now.
In conclusion, if you vote Democrat or Republican in the USA you are part of the problem. If you vote third party, you are wasting your time, and are also part of the problem. It's time to start using some ammo boxes. Shoot the politicians. Shoot the president. Shoot the spooks and spies. Shoot the fucking police as well. Have a revolution and throw off the fucking bastards that oppress. Shoot the capitalists while your at it.
Hey, if you have a proper revolution, I might even come and visit the USA (something I've no plans to do otherwise).
Except that copyright is already tied to the life of the author. It's just the life of the author plus a really stupidly long time... I personally, in this current system, would limit copyright for all works to a mere five years. With a requirement to retain attribution for maybe another five or ten years after that. But, ten to fifteen years after a work is first published, or say twenty after it is first recorded (if not published), make it fall into true public domain, without even the requirement for attribution.
OK, the party was a bomb, but the Dead Prez were cool.. Ricin our way towards Islamic Caliphate. Allah Akbar. God is great. Also tree huggers anonymous have got another fire bombing, with real Molotov cocktails, fuck the SUVs and lets free the animals. Also, I got a plan to crash a plane load of fertilizer into the White House. But I just need a pilot.
It's the same with Unity. Sure, OK, I don't like Unity much. But it is in no way a tablet interface. With Gnome 3.4 (what I'm stuck on for now, as I'm still running Ubuntu 12.04) you almost have to use the mouse for most things. Using the touch screen is painful. E.g. to hit the bottom left corner where all the hidden icons sit (at the moment, I have seven, including Rhythmbox).
Because, I think, it's just a bunch of extensions, anyone can come along and package them up with ordinary Gnome and ship it as "Gnome, slightly better version" or whatever. So even if they do kill, as in stops supporting it, they would have to kill the entire extension infrastructure to kill the idea.
Haha. No. I am anti-capitalist because I am against people owning property far beyond what they can use. I am also very much against corporations as well for that matter. I am anti-government, and anti-capitalist, because I'm an anarchist. I'm against anyone telling anyone what to do.
You say:
How is that? How does a "Left wing" enforce their social economic government structure without a strong powerful government behind it?
How do capitalists hold on to all their property without a strong powerful government to stop the poor from taking it off them? Oh wait... Anarchists are opposed to enforcing any sort of government structure on anyone. That's the bloody point.
You're probably not anti-capitalist, you're probably anti-corporatist, which is different, but looks remarkably similar. Do you believe a committee should tell you how much you should be paid, and how hard you should work and what job you should do? If you say no to each of those, you're a capitalist.
No, I'm anti-capitalist. And I think I'd know better than you. And yet I still don't want a committee saying how hard I should work etc. (Which, as pointed out by a sibling, does sound like capitalism anyway.)
I've nothing against a free market (which means, incidentally, that cost is the basic limit of price). I've also got nothing against communism. Which isn't what was practiced in the USSR, nor is it practiced currently in China, Cuba or North Korea; at best they claimed to be "moving towards communism". Communism of course being the class-less, state-less society where the means of production are held in common, and where all receive what they need.
The thing is, as a socialist and a left-winger, I'm for workers owning their own labor, and deciding for themselves where, and when to work. I'm for workers receiving the full product of their labor. And in a final utopian future, workers will happily work as much (or as little) as they desire, and share the product of their labor (or trade) as they will.
I know what I am, and any sort of pro-capitalist is not what I am.
Who said that the person who downloaded my code (whether licensed without a disclaimer of warranty clause, or unlicensed) is a customer of mine anyway?
Give me any case law where liability could be assumed where software is the specific cause of the issue.
I see people like you argue that I have assumed liability for publishing software without a disclaimer of warranty. But then I go and read those Wikipedia articles, and it appears to not matter for physical items. So why would it matter for software?
I.e. I think you, and everyone else who argues similarly, don't know what you're talking about.
It's a real license that is used by real people for real software projects. If you use a Linux distro, then there maybe some code on your system with the WTFPL. If you have WindowMaker, that likely-hood increases.
If you've ever edited the OpenStreetMap project using Potlatch, then you've used software with the WTFPL.
And I meant to mention, use client side encryption as well. * Install Ubuntu and tick the box that asks if you want to encrypt your home directory (and keep backups, Deja Dup makes it easy, though it isn't a perfect tool). Or use the feature that allows you to do this on your system. * Use TrueCrypt or a similar tool that enables plausible deniability; in addition to the full system encryption. * Also practice hiding stuff. Take up radio astronomy and thus have an excuse for large files of apparently random noise.
The solution is encrypt everything (OpenPGP for emails, etc.), plus decentralization. If everyone either hosted their own email, or used a minor hosting company, then it would be much more difficult for the NSA to round up all those emails. Then, if even half the population used OpenPGP for emails, we could hide in the mass, and the NSA etc. will have no hope of reading all those emails.
As soon as you have just a few spots (e.g. FarceBook, Google-, Murdoch'sSpace) that host the significant majority of a certain type of communication, then you have a huge weak spot. Solution is decentralization and federation.
Use tools like Diaspora, StatusNet, Jabber, SIP, and email. Don't use tools like Skype, Yahoo Messenger, AIM, Facebook, etc.
Yeah. I am kinda of edgy. I do kinda think that a bit of anarchy and fucking freedom would be sweet. You know, no fucking laws and shit holding us down! Fuck the man!
Also, we have enough production capability in the world that we could easily be living in a post-scarcity communist society by now. No state, no classes, no government. Just good old fashioned help your neighbor and take only what you need. Don't want to work? Hell if I care, come smoke a joint with me. There's enough to go around even if we all only work just 4 hours a week.
Let's pretend I host a website that allows you to download hundreds of novels and other works. These are all still under copyright in the USA. But I, and my website, are located in a place where all these works are in the public domain (e.g. Australia, and Russia). If I then (perhaps I'm a masochist) visit the USA, can I be arrested and charged? Probably not actually.
But, if I suddenly allow you to download novels etc. that are not in the public domain in the country I operate in, I suddenly can be charged in the USA? Even though I never visited that country, nor had any dealings there?
Why the fuck do countries have laws that allow them to prosecute people who are did their criminal activity in another jurisdiction?
A lot of people around the world enjoy eating snails (l'escargot). And, apparently they are quite easy to grow for yourself! Don't bother going to an expensive French restaurant and paying tens of dollars for six or twelve snails. Spend that cash on a terrarium, put some various stuff in it, put snails in, and feed them regularly on a diet of fresh greens. Soon they'll be big enough to chow down on.
China is doing pretty much the same thing (donating various stadiums, government buildings, roads, etc.) throughout Africa as well. They are doing it to ensure access to resources, as well as buy support in the UN, etc. They are throwing the money around.
Hey DumbMarketingGuy, does your buttz get hurtz when all the ladies actually know more about tech then you? Do you still have trouble forming relationships with women (other than your mom...)? What about comics? Are ladies allowed to read and enjoy comics? Are they allowed to play games? Do you get all upset when you get your ass handed to you by a some savvy women in any of the games you play? Who let all these womenz on the Internet anyone amirite?
I bet you're a white heterosexual (though it's still all academic isn't it...) male. You're playing on easy. And even so you're a failure (being a marketer is a failure automatically, but you're a failure for a myriad of other reasons as well).
Yeah, fuck off and die in a fire. Fuck your apologism. And fuck the government.
Who gives a shit what the government wants. It's all illegitimate and all deserves to burn.
Manning presumably took an oath to protect and uphold the Constitution of the USA, and then realized that actually there is all this shit that by protecting meant he wasn't upholding his oath. He may have taken another oath to protect that shit, but his duty to humanity as a whole outweighs all oaths. And presumably you'd agree that protecting the Constitution is more important than protecting some stupid diplomatic cables.
