Don't forget the quickly fermenting race war! CW2 is gonna be off the fuckin' chain.
We've already got blacks marching around with shirts like "Fuck White People" and shouting "Kill Whitey", it's only a small matter of time before that sentiment takes its inevitable violent turn. Once that happens, the "Nazis" will come out to plat and thus the Communists (aka Antifa) must fight back. Black guerrilla fighters blowing up buildings Al Qaeda style, and hell, even the Islamic terrorists would probably take advantage of the chaos although most of them aren't quite smart enough to manage to attack the US.
Hey, at least it'll break Capitalisims back, amirite? Cuz that's some fucking change I can believe in!
Or maybe people want to be treated and viewed as people instead of labeled, classified, and pre-judged based on neo-marxist oppression structures specifically designed 30 years ago to favor the people that created it.
The snowflakes are on both sides, genius. The alt-right snowflakes would be just as censorious and heavy handed as their SJW counterparts.
We Millennials are snowflakes in general, and not dependent on a particular ideology to be so. A similar thing has happened in China, parents and grandparents dote on the single child (in China, almost always a boy) and the kid grows up with a grossly distorted sense of reality.
The Millennials are the most pampered generation ever, is it any wonder they're largely a bunch of crybabies and weaklings? It'll be interesting indeed to see how things play out once Millennials start wielding significant political power. Whether they're left or right we'll probably see the nanny state mentality blossom magnificently as the helicopter-parent generation attempts to re-create their overbearing parents in the government bureaucracy.
The snowflake status comes from the generation itself, not any individual ideology. It's not the Millennial's fault they were ruined by their parents and the stupid pseudo-scientific , pop-sci "parenting methods" that have been running rampant since the 50s.
Looks like we can pin all the worlds problems on Baby Boomers once again.
People still don't want to pay $400 for a gimmicky motion sickness simulator? But how else are they going to consume all these rehashed "VR Experiences" we been churning out?
Just hearing the word "experience" in an entertainment context makes me gag. The boundless expanse of marketing drivel packed into that one god damn word is appalling.
On the other hand, once you hear anyone talking about the "$PRODUCT Experience" you know they're full of shit.
Now now, the OP probably believes the Globalists are going to save him from the deadly scourge of Nationalism! Surely once there are no more nations we can finally be free of nationalistic chauvinism and its zealous adherents! It's not like anyone could ever be a zealous chauvinist for a Global Superstate, that'd be crazy!
I say we just start killing smokers now and get it over with. Surely a nice clean firing squad would be better than spending all that tax payer money keeping some filthy degenerate smoker alive for a second longer than they deserve!
The problem is that at this point, you can't go around calling yourself a Feminist without taking on the mantle of Marxist at the same time. Despite however Feminism may have began, now, in the current year, it's entirely immersed in Marxist thinking.
Whether you think Marxist thought is bad in and of itself it a whole other question. But Trudeau boldly and proudly proclaimed his Feminism, which by extension makes him a Marxist. Scratch any Feminist and you'll find the commie underneath.
Thus, the political-correctness movement often erodes the effectiveness of communication.
This is by design. The proponents of such things are engaged in the same work as the Ministry of Truth in 1984. They really believe that they can modify language to make expressing certain kinds of thoughts impossible, to make thought crime impossible.
I hear they are worse than the Americans in regards to border security and illegal immigration!
Isn't that racist? I thought pretty boy Trudeau ushered in a new era of compassionate progressivism? How can they control their borders? Immigration is GOOD NO MATTER WHAT!
Except once Bernie turned things upside down all our change would fall out of our pockets and into whatever massive boondoggles he managed to ram through Congress. Once he really hit the elites where it hurts (assuming he ever did), he'd be withering behind the Mainstream Media Hate Machine just like Trump is now. They'd tear him to pieces. Communist this, the Scourge of Socialism that. Smearing lefties is pretty easy when they've got such immensely awful shit in their ideological closet.
Look at Corbyn in the UK, with all the pictures of him at Communist rallies and praising Dictators, murderers, and terrorists. I guarantee Bernie has some moments like that in his past, all these lefty types do. Either they believe that shit whole heartedly or get stuck agreeing with some radical nut job to save face. Either way, they're on record saying "Communism iz gud, mmmkay" along with whatever other pathetic drivel they've spouted over the years.
Once people find out what "Left wing" really means they'll run away from it in droves. Right now, people have this misplaced notion that the "Socialists" are just radical Liberals when nothing could be farther from the truth. They may hide their Communist leanings behind "Social Democrat" or "Democratic Socialist" but they're commies through and through and want nothing more than to destroy Western Civilization in its entirety. Good luck with those commies, Liberals. They gonna kill you first.
Just because they don't adhere to whatever naive standards for "Real Muslims" you've dreamed up in your Left wing fantasy land doesn't mean they aren't exactly what they say they are.
Face it, the brutal shit coming out of the Middle East is perpetrated by MUSLIMS. I'm sorry that your narrative relies on convincing people that "Real Muslims(tm) Wouldn't Do That" and that reality stubbornly puts that hopelessly naive narrative to lie every single day. So, so sorry.
I realize you're joking here, but I wanted clarify what "They Hate Us For Our Freedom" means.
To be blunt: It does not mean there are terrorists sitting around in their caves saying, "Those filthy Americans! They're just so FREE! Why, if they weren't so FREE we'd all be better off! DEATH TO AMERICA AND THEIR FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!"
Instead, think of "They Hate Us For Our Freedom" in light of the individual freedoms we have in the west. What freedoms might such zealous individuals be angry at? Simple. They hate us because we let our citizens choose their own religion. They hate us because we don't stone gay people. They hate us because we give women equal status with men. They hate us because our own weak and decadent culture is killing itself in a fruitless quest for greater and greater virtue. They hate us because we're not Islamists.
They don't hate us because of freedom qua freedom. They hate us because the particulars of our freedom are antithetical to their oppressive, totalitarian religious practices. Honestly, who cares why terrorists hate us? They'll go right on fighting the "Great Satan aka the West" no matter what we do, until there is no Western Civilization left except in whatever history books make it through the Islamist purging of history.
Maybe we should stop teaching schoolchildren about the evils of "whiteness" and "western civilization". Maybe that'd stop these Muslims from radicalising. Who'd have thought that a bunch of disaffected children of immigrants, fed a steady stream of propaganda about how evil their host country is, would fall back on their own radical traditions instead of jumping up in solidarity to bravely fight the Capitalist oppressors? Nice fucking work by the well-meaning but ultimately naive and self-defeating Marxist/Feminist/Critical Theory/Left-wing-word-salad crowd. BUT MUH PRAXIS!
Oh absolutely. Who could have thought that bringing a bunch of immigrants in on the theory of "assimilation" then proceeding to teach their kids through the Marxist lens about "the evils of Whiteness and Western Civilization" would produce domestic terrorists? It's just soooooo crazy!
It's almost like someone wants this to happen. Or Leftists are too stupid and or crazy to realize what they were doing. Could go either way. Why is it that brain-sick Lefties bleat about "immigrants are fine, they'll assimilate" while simultaneously dismantling the very culture those immigrants are supposed to assimilate into? It's fucking mind boggling. Are you really thinking that the disaffected children of these immigrants are going to pick up your radical Marxist line? LOL, they'll just fall back into their own radical traditions and kill the weak and decadent bourgeoisie who seem hell bent on destroying themselves and taking the rest of us along with them.
Leftists are DUMB DUMB DUMB. So much needless death and suffering in their reckless pursuit of vainglory and virtue signaling.
I want to write apps in COBOL. Make COBOL Great Again by leveraging synergies and providing premier user experiences based on the latest paradigms. By utilizing COBOL, we ensure that the code monkeys can't jump ship to our competitors and no-one will bother leaking our code because no-one will understand it except for some old farts who won't touch an app in the first place.
To me it smacks of typography weenies trying desperately to convince the rest of the world that their autistic obsession with letter shapes has any bearing on, well anything whatsoever.
I think what we all really want to know is what the best typeface for rendering autistic screeching is.

Science, in general, is being groomed into essentially religion. I propose we call it Scientism. How can you recognize Scientism in action? Look for rhetoric which relies on the historic achievements of scientific endeavors to bolster it's own unscientific claims. To clarify, when anyone insinuates that "my claims must be true, it's Science", you're dealing with an adherent to Scientism. The latest drivel from Bill Nye is a perfect example of this rhetoric. You can't argue with Science, no matter what it claims and no matter what basis on which those claims are actually made.
In conclusion, you can't argue with anything I said because it's Science. QED bitches.
The "liberal agenda" IS "a political power elite agenda". Don't kid yourself, because if it weren't, I rather doubt we'd see these sorts of ideas being so readily absorbed into society.
To put it bluntly, if, as feminists allege, the world is governed by an unshakable patriarchy which has persisted since time immemorial, then why would the patriarchs ever deign to consider these points of view, let alone let them promulgate to the point of completely taking over academia and the entertainment industry?
The government and corporate world are classical examples of patriarchy in action, and yet we see both bending over backwards for whatever feminism's demands are this month. Those god damn patriarchal bastards are falling over each other to prostrate themselves before the demands of petulant feminists and the nu-left. Apparently, patriarchy is so weak and decrepit that they just cannot help themselves but to accede to every demand the nu-left heaves in their general direction.
Or, you know, maybe patriarchy is bullshit and these institutions have always blown with the social winds. Despite the utility of the rhetoric of persecution the nu-left uses, reality doesn't seem to bear out their claims. Unfortunately for the feminists and nu-left, reality will not bear their impossible Utopian dreams to be realized for any significant amount of time. We may have plunged ourselves into a degenerate post-modernist post-truth, post-fact memeplex, but unfortunately for lofty ideals, they're nothing more than electrical impulses in human brains rather than concrete realizations of anything other than delusional wishes.
They get every almost polling service to say Hillary will win by complete coincidence, Russia has to be a little more forceful.
How dare you? Don't you know polls are Scientific, and we all know Scientific means UNEQUIVOCAL TRUTH! Why do you hate Science? Why do you hate Truth? Are you an anti-science heretic? All hail the glory of SCIENCE! SCIENCE!

Doubt it. If he had, he'd have likely been aware of the shit storm that was GamerGate.

This is probably about a 2% hit on one year of capital spending.
Exactly! Because we all know that you can just plop various bits of technology somewhere and it'll be good forever!
I mean, I'm sure the current ISP's don't spend anything whatsoever in maintenance and upgrades and are still using the same routers that ARPAnet did!

C'mon, be charitable and give the left their Benghazi. It's the least we can do.
Besides, it's great fun watching all these "highly educated intellectual elites" spiral into paranoid delusion and conspiracy theory.
I guess all those expensive degrees weren't much inoculation against paranoia and magical thinking after all, eh?
