    Buh? Slashdot isn't social media. I can't post a photo of myself. Slashdot is a blog or link aggregator. I guess it has some thing where you can do your own blog, but nobody uses that. I guess people don't know what words mean.

    Americans. It's no secret that globalists hate our guts and want us gone. Americans out of the picture = global prosperity for everyone. Well, the kind of prosperity that a Pakistani manual laborer would consider acceptable. This isn't some crazy conspiracy theory, I've read a lot of globalist and neo-liberal literature and Americans are standing in their way. The sooner we are out of the picture, the better. Even if it is a conspiracy theory, a year ago if I told you that Kevin Spacey was a sex offender that belonged in prison, what would you have said about that?

    Despite what the Slashdot hivemind says Trump's policies are largely reasonable - moderate, mildly-libertarian conservatism combined with economic nationalism, both an antidote to the aggressive globalist neoliberalism which has been crammed down our collective throats for 30-odd years. He takes on very strong right wing positions on some things, say illegal immigration and dealing with Islamic terrorism, but he's not a Bible thumping ideologue that the GOP has been moving towards in the recent years. He was a freaking Manhattan liberal socialite and registered Democrat most of his life, he's probably snorted coke off hooker's asses, been to many gay weddings, was once for legalizing all drugs and has been hiring women into high positions for decades. He straight up said he supports trans people using any bathrooms while the rest of the GOP made a ruckus over it, dissed the Iraq War and supported planned parenthood at the GOP debates to resounding boos from the Republican crowd, wants to let states decide on weed legalization and is completely against nation building wars. He's not some far right war hawk bigot Hitler as he is characterized on Reddit, in fact he was constantly called a liberal by other Republican candidates. The GOP has been terrible for a long time now, and went nuts during the Bush era with religious nonsense and neocon war mongering. Trump is a welcome change from that, a "New York values" conservative.

  6. The end of the internet on Russia's Anti-VPN Law Goes Into Effect (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Well, we had a good run, 30 years or so for the old-fashioned global internet. But having that much information available is simply too threatening to powerful people. We the commoners are supposed to keep our heads down and do their work for them, not crowdsource cases of corruption and essentially solve them, nor correctly point out where the ruling class is totally full of shit.

    Right now, all of that is happening on Youtube/Facebook/Twitter/etc. Trump's election was a severe shock not just to American elites but to ruling classes the world over. The writing on the wall is clear: if you want to remain ruling class, don't let the proles know the real story. Youtube is ruthlessly demonetizing, Facebook is censoring, Twitter is deleting accounts and governments are blocking off the outside world. The future will be national networks with limited access to the outside, like China's today. In February a VPN ban will go into effect in China and that will be the end of that. So there will be a Chinese network, a Russian network, and increasingly fragmented networks the world over that don't really connect to each other. Good try internet, you did some good there for a while, but you were just too threatening to allow to continue to exist.

    Maybe next time you won't let things get so bad that we feel we have no other choice. Hillary was going to put an end to us. At least now you know what it's like to have a government that doesn't represent your interests, which had been our position for quite some time. Sucks, doesn't it? Get better. Represent our interests in government and this won't happen again. Though I doubt you've learned anything, the democrats are just doubling down on divisive identify politics.

    The Mueller investigation is no longer a search for Russian collusion with Trump in the 2016 race. It is now a much more far-reaching inquiry into corrupt lobbying practices all across Washington DC, the so-called "swamp". An investigation that is very likely to ensnare figures close to Hillary Clinton.

    In press accounts, Mueller's investigation is still framed as a hunt for collusion between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the government of Russia, but that description is mostly bogus. The investigation has broadened now to determine which people and which organizations in Washington DC have spent years working *secretly* as de facto operatives on behalf of Russian government and business interests.

    The Podesta Group is chief among these.

    They are more focused on facilitators of Russian influence in America than they are on election collusion. The Podesta Group was hired by Paul Manafort on behalf of foreign clients because the company was perceived to have a direct line to powerful politicians, like Hillary Clinton.

    The chairman of one major presidential campaign colluded with a brother of the *other* major presidential campaign to enrich themselves by secretly advancing the interests of a foreign adversary. That happened. That's "the swamp" everyone is saying needs to be drained.

    Texas is not remotely fascist, in fact it's pretty loose as far as laws are concerned. Basically, leave people the hell alone and you'll have a good time there. Californians are voting with their feet and leaving the workers' paradise. You simply don't know enough to criticize accurately, you've got some imaginary idea in your head and you criticize that. This happens a lot among leftists. Self-described leftists (or progressives) and conservatives were asked to describe how the other side would think of the issues. The conservatives proved to be pretty good at describing the left-liberals' positions, while the liberals were much worse at characterizing what their ideological opponents thought. http://journals.plos.org/ploso...

    What makes you think our elites want to win against the jihadis? Where'd you get that idea?

    They're useful. They provide constant war, which means a constant churn of military action, which is highly profitable. They create chaos, which our elites love because it means they get to change things. They love messing with things. Ever know one of those people who likes to take things apart just to mess with them? But they're not really good at putting them back together and tend to move on to the next project? That's our elites. Remember when Egypt was their big deal? Then Syria? Now it's Russia? How many of these situations were improved by their meddling? And yet without an enemy, they wouldn't get to make changes.

    I feel you don't know what the Black Death was. It did not destroy civilization. Whole parts of the world were completely unaffected. In Europe, only 30-40% of the population died, there were plenty left to repopulate afterwards. It did change the nature of their culture, for the better. Fewer workers meant better terms for them, and Europe thereby avoided a Malthusian famine catastrophe where the population outpaced the food supply.
