This is why Trump got elected, because ordinary Americans are tired of being called racist misogynists for no reason by idiotic SJWs. You think calling us racist more is going to help? Enjoy your new president, we picked him just for you:)
This is also the reason why slashdot is among the few places on the internet where people never learned that Trump had a real chance of winning, why he was winning, and especially why he should win. The modding system allows for a walled garden of ideas type of experience here.
I always thought it funny how Trump denouncers say his voters are uneducated, yet they themselves had no knowledge of the reality that he was winning, or why he was winning until it was over. What do your "educated" voters want to do with the news sources that pointed out the MSM's fraud all along? Find out what they know that I don't? No...banish the blasphemous internet medias! All hail dinosaur media forever!
Healthcare is not like government. The best known model to make government "competitive" is democracy, which still eventually tends towards corruption like any monopoly. For healthcare, better models are much easier to implement.
If you're bleeding out, you're going to take the first ambulance and closest hospital you can get, of course. That doesn't change competitive environment. The vast majority of patients will have time to choose their provider. That affects quality and price across the board, and even helps the guy who doesn't get to choose.
This goes much farther. In bustling free healthcare markets, more medical research is done. This makes it more likely we'll be able to actually start curing diseases in our lifetime, rather than just making "treat the "symptom" a free public right for another hundred years.
Don't kid me. If you read the scientific journals and knew how to interpret them, we wouldn't be having this discussion. You would already know that with existing data, there's no substantial scientific cause for alarm, and that scientists agree more often than not. Furthermore, the original model was proven wrong, leaving pro-global warmists without even a predictive model to cling to.
Naturally, politicians never changed their stance, and here slashdot is beating the old sound board too. If I were you, I would go back and ask myself who got me passionate about global warming, and why didn't they keep me updated? There you will find the trail to the source of modern propaganda. Then, we can talk about legacy media, Donald Trump, and the age of the internet. Good luck.
Look at the YouTube link in the comment, and share it with everyone else in this thread who has a strong opinion without knowing the facts. If propaganda was like STDs, Slashdot is a hive mind of zombie prostitutes trying to catch them all.
You're acting as a pawn of social justice. You're attacking a legitimate information resource because it tells a different narrative that *certain groups* find "offensive". You're helping them limit free speech, and retain their control of information dissemination. Don't be their useful idiot in their war against net neutrality.
It's good for them too. Hospitals don't have special rates for their rural patients. They would benefit from the same market competition as their city dwelling fellows.
That's not how it works at all. You wouldn't have to haggle. All you have to do is look at a few providers and choose the one you like best. No different than the effort you put into any other free market service. Providers automatically bring their prices down to attract more clients. Basic economics. I swear, slashdot users are 5 internet years behind free speech sites like 4chan and funnyjunk.
Trump was actually the best candidate we deserved to fix our issues. We had the chance to have Ron Paul in 2012, but we let the media shut him out. The only reason Trump had a chance against the institution was BECAUSE he was so controversial and couldn't be ignored. I'm 70% sure he knew exactly what he was doing too. Trump and his based burns are all you deserve because you let the media herd you around like sheep while you slowly swallow pills like the Patriot Act, TPP, and NSA-spying.
Enough time has passed since global warming was a scare. There is enough evidence, now, to show that global warming is most likely not a real threat. However, for some reason certain parties aren't accepting the new science. I wonder why?
But wait, if this is true, surely I would have heard about it on legacy mainstream media. They don't support corrupt agendas... only breitbart and those other alternative media outlets are the ones that can't be trusted. That's what my news feed says anyway.
No, not because they made a wrong prediction, because they've been caught taking tips from Hillary on which stories to air, and how to air them. Because they've been caught giving Hillary debate questions before the debates. Because they have so blatantly cut people off the air just as they started to talk about that and other important news that was surfacing about the election. CNN is finished when you figure how ignorant they kept you.
Odd that you would assume I'm a millennial. Most people don't become conservative until they're old enough to have heard both sides of the story.
For someone who has a problem with fake news, you watch a lot of CNN. CNN, ABC, and every other corporate media outlet, including Fox, boldly proved themselves to be pro institution censorship rings this election. It was so blatant, they will never get away with it. Though, the fact that some of you are still unaware months later, shows how much of a hold they had.
That's a nice plan to try to make media accountable, but it will never work because the problem isn't with false reporting (false reporting loses viewers), it's with agenda reporting in the hands of a few elite agencies. You can't stop selective reporting, or creative wording. The solution to "fake news" and censorship is just to allow as many people to speak as possible. The internet is already solving that with alternative media. Unfortunately, the system is trying to stop it, but they're running out of brainwashed zombies to help them.
That's exactly his point. They can't make American journalists out to be boogie men, so they point at the Russians, and then go after American journalists.
Not at all. Capitalism: The more you give to others, the more others are willing to help you, regardless of your age, sex, race, or personal opinions. It's not the same as political capital where the more you pander and lie, the higher you go.
SJWs don't punish people for burning flags. They punish people for saying mean things, being male, white, straight, or for disagreeing with them. Then, they burn the flag.
Actually,
Nice logic, but it's not supported by history. Billions have been killed for the sake of land and resources, much more than the mere millions killed by industrialized nations. Worldly conflicts dwarf religious ones in every era. You do correctly point out, though, that people oppress or kill others are usually radicalized to believe they are "doing good", such as their leader being a god. How much more important then that they already know their creator, and that he calls for love and peace? Any good cause is an excuse for a tyrant, but Christianity is a hard one.
It's not surprising at all when you look at the whole story. The things you thought would shut Trump down, Hillary did much worse. She made Trump look like a goodie two shoes. Unfortunately, no 'real' news sources would report it, so half of America doesn't even know what happened. The funny part is that part of what she was caught doing was telling CNN what and how to report stories, and now while people are still figuring out what happened, someone's trying to shut down 'fake' news outlets. Ironic
I've yet to see any of these liberal predictions come true. In fact, they're famously wrong. Conversatives, however, predicted where our country would be today more than 30 years ago (two hundred years if you consider the founding fathers conservative).
If you're willing to shed your countrymen's blood for the sake of a corrupted government, I can't help you. All he's trying to say is don't back a rabbit into a corner. You may be behind on the news, but getting Hillary elected after what everyone else knows about her could do exactly that.
I did, and I'll tell you why. I've been following this election every day for months, going through the details, checking sources, and watching what was being reported on mainstream media (and not reporting). It's clear to the rest of the internet that the mainstream media can no longer be trusted for important decisions such as elections. You and a large part of the slashdot community have clearly been sheltered from the greatest case of government corruption since Watergate. This is the "fake news" that they're trying censure or discredit now.
I can say it with a straight face because it's beyond a doubt to be true. This is literally one of the last communities to realize it. Watching the mainstream media reveal its corruption over the last three months, you certainly won't hear a word about it from them except when their hand is forced, and then they only lie about the credibility of the information.

You think that sounds crazy? When you finally get wind of how boldly they've been suppressing critical facts lately, you'll throw up.
No, not because they made a wrong prediction, because they've been caught taking tips from Hillary on which stories to air, and how to air them. Because they've been caught giving Hillary debate questions before the debates. Because they have so blatantly cut people off the air just as they started to talk about that and other important news that was surfacing about the election.

Because liberals have been losing all the talking points since the internet exploded, so there's dissent even in their own enclaves.
Not at all. Capitalism: The more you give to others, the more others are willing to help you, regardless of your age, sex, race, or personal opinions. It's not the same as political capital where the more you pander and lie, the higher you go.

His views aren't a small minority. The election proved that, yet your delusion persists.
