THE DOCTRINE OF FASCISM-BENITO MUSSOLINI (1932)
Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State.
Now of all the players in American politics today, which group does this best describe?
Shutting peoples opinions down is not fighting fascism. It *is* fascism!
Obama's got a lot of criticism for running the most transparent administration in history. Look, if something is transparent, you can't see it. Doesn't anyone use dictionaries any more?
Better there than an openly white supremacist hate state. Americans are the least educated and knowledgeable of foreign affairs, languages, and disparate cultures, societies, and social norms amongst all Westernized countries and the least exposed universally. If some Americans decide they canâ(TM)t get behind Medicaid-covered abortions, a humane immigration system, and police who answer for their crimes against people of color, the world wonâ(TM)t miss them.
Why on earth would we WANT America to "lead"? So their horrid patent system could hog all the technologies? So their corporations can make tons of money while the world chokes on pollution? So their bigoted, racist people could shout about how great they are? I think not.
Americans are the least educated and knowledgeable of foreign affairs, languages, and disparate cultures, societies, and social norms amongst all Westernized countries and the least exposed universally.
The United States is a violent white supremacist settler empire whose only fate is annihilation.
I feel like you people are arguing against what you imagine conservatives are saying. I'm so confused by all of your comments. Or, to put it a better way, you're arguing against what conservatives would have to say in order for your extremist rhetoric to be taken seriously. Either way, it's strawmen all the way down. I remember hearing of studies (which I really need to chase down, if anyone has the reference I'd appreciate it) in which self-described "liberals" (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.
The left says Trumpista like how they imagine Nazis said Jew or Southerners said Negro.
Two Iraqi men in their 20s have been convicted of a bloody sex crime in Colorado that left the victim, a woman in her 50s, in need of immediate surgery and a colostomy bag. Three other Iraqi men, also in their 20s,were convicted on lesser charges as accessories.
Four points set this case apart. First, there is its brutality: Law enforcement officers describe the July 2012 assault as "rare" and "horrific" and "one of the worst in Colorado history." Second, all of these men once assisted U.S. military forces in Iraq as informants and interpreters. Third, every one of them received permanent residency status in the U.S., due in part to efforts made by U.S. military members on their behalf. Fourth, this extraordinary case and the ties that bind it to the U.S. military and the war in Iraq have received little coverage.
Have we ever considered it's a BAD thing to steal all these talented people from their own societies and hog them all for ourselves? America, already bursting with money that it just wastes, gets richer while the developing world is robbed of the talented people that they so badly need. Imagine 10,000 enterprising, able people suddenly relocated back to their home countries where they will open businesses, employ their countrymen, and add to their own culture's wealth instead of an imperialist power's. Now imagine the Americans that have to fill the gap - suddenly the employers don't hold all the cards any more and it's a seller's market. Employee abuses go down and worker salaries go up. It's win-win...for everyone but the corporations.
It's creative destruction. By getting rid of the old internet with its ridiculous trust-based protocols that anyone can trash, we will sooner get to the network of the future, with authentication and lack of trust built in. We've all seen the idiocy of IoT and there's just no way around it, at all. It's like a prairie fire that cleans the plain for new growth.
And yet only one side is burning down buildings and beating the shit out of opposition supporters, and it ain't the right. Hillary's insult wasn't really "deplorable", it was "irredeemable". That means most of America is permanently depraved by left-wing standards, and well obviously anything can be done to them, because that's what happens when you dehumanize people.
Just amazing the reach of Putin. First, he manages to get the DNC & Hillary Clinton to write thousands of self-incriminating (and on Hillary's side, remarkably foul-mouthed - or is it foul-keyboarded?) emails. Then he suborns the DNC to steal the nomination from Sanders and give it to Clinton, to give Trump an easier opponent. Next he induces a DNC staffer named Seth Rich to steal the compromising emails and give them to Wikileaks, which dutifully publishes them, showing the DNC to be corrupt and Hillary to be venal. Then he manages to get Rich to set himself up for a mugging in which he is shot twice in the head but nothing is stolen. Then he manipulates the Director of the FBI to announce just before the election that many, many thousands of emails potentially involving Hillary have been found and need to be examined. And finally, he finesses the US intelligence community into believing he hacked those DNC computers to influence the election, thereby concealing - and taking off the discussion table - any examination of the DNC's & Hillary's wrongdoing.
I heard that they found the cell-phone-smashing sledge hammer in Putin's basement!

It is amazing, even at this late date, to see people jump out of nowhere on a tech site, of all places, to defend far-left identity politics. It just boggles the mind people still believe in this stuff.
The well of left-wing grievances is endless, and they don't pass Poe's Law. There's no way to tell if they're fake or not becacuse the real ones are so outrageous.
The Army has deleted a tweet posted Thursday afternoon referring to âoechinksâ in the armor of its Special Operations capabilities after receiving numerous accusations of racism.

'"I have to pay for the rest of my life because of a very small group of trans women," she says. "I havenâ(TM)t said anything hateful to any of these people, ever. All I have ever said was question the essentialist meaning of transgenderism, because, by positing gender as fixed it flies in the face of feminism." Subsequently, Bindel has been prevented from speaking not just about transgender issues, but also about violence against women and girls. The no platforming has taken the form of direct intimidation â" "I had death threats [...] I was shouted at, physically attacked on stage," Bindel tells me â" as well as coming in more official guises.' http://www.newstatesman.com/sa...
No can do. Universities NEED these administrators. Regulations have piled on and on, and any university found not in compliance is subject to huge penalties. The administrators won't go away until the regulations do. And that ain't gonna happen.
Yet that madman and a wildcard managed to overcome the challenge from sixteen politically smart guys and the Republican party machine to become the candidate and then go on to defeat the Democratic candidate, who was supremely qualified and politically adept ; she was fully supported by her party, the media and Hollywood and yet she was beaten by Trump.
You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Remember Obama, and Clooney telling us that Trump would never, ever, be elected President and they are very smart and full of political nous.
Remember all the political pundits and pollsters telling us Trump had got no chance against the eminently qualified and capable Clinton?
Well here we are with this "madman and wild card" as president who is now setting up to rearrange the relationship with China to America's advantage. He is doing the same with NAFTA, TPP and TTIP. He intends to make sure America becomes energy self sufficient. All this to bring jobs and wealth to AMerica for the national benefit.
You, and all of your ilk, can witter on about Trump as much as you like but the hard fact is that he has never been a politician yet he has rolled over the political class in America and he is about to do the same to China. You, your friends and the Chinese are making a big mistake to underestimate Trump. You think you understand him and make glib pseudo-psychiatric analyses of him but you actually have no understanding of him at all.
CNN cropped out the ISIS finger salute and Jihad scarf from the Fort Lauderdale attacker's picture, and made it black and white. FAKE NEWS!
Photo proof here.
When you see an argument on the Internet that begins like this you can be sure that what follows is a mischaracterization of the other side's point followed by sarcasm and derision over the mischaracterization (but not the actual point).
So we are just making shit up now? Where's the evidence? There's no evidence, just assertions. Like the one you just made.
Jesus Christ this is like Fox Mulder. "I want to believe." Anything to avoid the realization that the American people rejected you and Crooked Hillary, eh?
And now you have to deal with an election you could have easily won simply by doing two things: refraining from engaging in verbal abuse of poor whites, and coming up with a plan to help them. Those two things would probably have been enough to have reduced Trumpâ(TM)s margin in some key rust-belt states and helped Crooked Hillary win. You could have easily gone back on the promises after the election.
Assange isn't a useful idiot. He's an anti-American asshole who spent his entire adult life trying to find ways to harm the USA. Funny how he was a left-wing hero when he was blowing the NSA wide open. But now that he's doing what he's always done - harming America with whatever means are available to him - suddenly he's a villain? He didn't alter the results of the election. Nobody cared about the emails or the FBI.
Now, I bet the discussions in the Michigan union halls and the Pennsylvania VFWs went something like this: âoeYou know Mitch, with the economy so good and America so respected in the world, I was totally going to support Hillary continuing Obamaâ(TM)s work, but then I found out that Donna Brazile was feeding her CNNâ(TM)s debate questions. Also, until Comey reminded me, I had totally forgotten Hillary was under FBI investigation for doing what would have gotten me sent to Leavenworth if I had done it when I was in the Navy. So, despite loving all the Democrat policies that have made my life a paradise, especially the idea of a law allowing grown men in dresses to loiter in my tween daughterâ(TM)s restroom, Iâ(TM)m voting for Trump. Oh, and Iâ(TM)m a deplorable racist and hate science. Also, sexism.â
âoeYou flyover rubes are so stupid that you can be manipulated by the facts that we were too incompetent to effectively hide from you!â is probably not a great way to win hearts and minds, but hey progressives, feel free to go with it.
Leftists, always looking to silence opposing views. That's why Trump is going to ignore the media and talk to the people directly. The media is a hostile filter and only exists to make him look bad. Just tell us directly. The media dropped their last pretense of objectivity during the election season and came full-out for Hillary. They cannot be trusted to report the truth, no matter how often they tell us otherwise. The whole world saw it.
