Nope! It's leftist. It's just that you are so far to the left yourself that anything to the right of Mao Zedong looks like crazy talk. Take this quick test: is the New York Times a liberal newspaper? The answer is so blatantly obvious as to be, well, blatantly obvious. If you do not answer this question correctly you are a raving nutbag.
Dog whistle racism. Sweden lacks African-Americans, and is nearly 100% white, which obviously contributes to their success in your addled bigoted brain.
It must be strange living in Bizarro world where there is no persistent left-wing bias in the vast majority of Western media and reporting facts about your preferred politicians is perceived to be "a smear".
This just in: markets have several levels! It's today's unwelcome education in economics. You, being in the middle, do not wish to work in the low end of the market? Well, great for you! You understand more than you let on. If you only had more self-awareness...
You do realize that he didn't call any of them government agencies? If not, I'll leave it as an exercise to figure out what he actually said.
This is the big problem with your kind, you jump to conclusions that fit your pre-existing mental state and then freak out about it. Didn't you people used to be anti-US government and anti-everything-American?
It is The Guardian, beloved of the Left. You don't need to question them, it is unseemly and icky. Everything they print is true, because it agrees with the Left's pre-existing ideas. Anything contradictory is simply not printed in the first place. This is one of the big reasons the Left has gone off the rails into obsessed hate in the past 20 years, they live in an echo chamber and think that dissident opinions have no place in political speech.
The same people who think GMO foods should be prominently labeled because what's in the can isn't real food are, naturally, against it when it suddenly suits their political biases. Surprise, surprise.
Someone named "Vegan Cyclist" who doesn't disclose her own biases before writing a post telling everyone what we should think? If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black. Tax dollars currently support all sorts of nefarious enterprises that harm Americans, but you're not going to talk about any of them because they support your radical left wing politics. If you were actually against fraud and waste, you'd argue against them too, but you only come out of the woodwork when something happens your politics tell you to oppose. Hypocrite.
I love how you decided that you get to define what everyone is for and what everyone should be against. Fucking fascist pig. If the taxpayer-funded egg board had been FOR the vegan side you'd be arguing the opposite viewpoint. Seen this flip-flop too many times, "we have always been friends with Eurasia."
It's because the people who wrote this article confused their political opinions for established facts. They never see any media that contradicts their opinions so there is no dissent inside their bubble, and that's the way they like it. "Vegan = always good, dissidents = always bad" is the thought here.
The theme was so self-evident that they didn't even need to state it. Then it gets posted by the SJW contingent at Slashdot where the audience has to live in the real world outside the bubble, and nobody understands what the problem is with an industry advocacy group advocating the products that its industry makes.
Multiply this problem by a thousand, for every topic under the sun, and you understand why they are so out of touch with Americans. In their minds, being ignorant is a good thing.
This is Europe, they don't use dollars, dumbass. Another stupid AmeriKUNT butting in to a subject that she knows nothing about. Please stop contributing, your ignorance hurts to behold.
There needs to be a name for this rule, because this happens all the time on Slashdot. Whenever an (R) does something despicable, it is proof positive that their party is horrible and needs to be disbanded for the good of the world. Whenever a (D) does something despicable, we all need to look past party lines and realize that both parties are bad. Conclusion: we can't criticize (D) but it is A-OK to criticize (R). I have seen this comment appear so many times, and it never appears on stories that feature (R).
Yahoo was the first search engine. In '92-93 it was just a list of sites sent by email. Altavista was the Google of its time, it gave the best results by far and supported all sorts of regex-style operators for great searches. You could even find password lists and security holes if you searched the right way. Google was great because its page was clean and didn't take 60 seconds to load, like Altavista became. The "best search results" thing came later.
You've got a bad memory, pal. Also, you can say "fuck", it's OK.
Yeah, socialists are really really bad about abusing the No True Scotsman fallacy. Anytime a socialist does something despicable, well, a real socialist wouldn't do that. The constant abuse comes from the frightening frequency which people who call themselves socialists commit despicable acts, up to and including genocide.
The endless drumbeat of politics stories, almost always carrying the same bias, acts to create disgust and drive people away. There used to be a whole lot less of them. The fact that some seem to like it now? It means the old users have all left and new asswipes have come in to establish the new normal. That's how it usually works in web forums.
...and yet we're talking about people being exposed to microbes, which is completely different from viral diseases. Again, how'd you pull that out of your ass?
And people have always complained about it and wished it didn't happen. Remember Jon Katz and his idiot stories? Look at the site, comments are down globally, it's not uncommon to have 20-50 comments when there used to be 150-300. You see the same damn people modded up everywhere, diversity of opinion is lost as other people get disgusted with the situation and leave. It's going to happen to me, too, one of these days, and I've been around since this site was a weblog, high userid notwithstanding.
No, you are not alone, there are plenty of people like you, constantly mentioning to others that you don't watch TV. It is especially evident when the topic is watching TV, you'd think this is the one time when you'd decline to comment as you have no idea what's been going on, but no there are already several comments just like yours, already moderated up to +5 Insightful.
Remember Lost? The show where they would start with some interesting subplot, only to never revisit it in subsequent episodes? They just went on to some newer subplot.
That's what I feel about new TV shows. If I give in to the show and start watching regularly, I must know that they're going to treat me well. But doing that kind of crap is boring as fuck for writers (evidently) because they hate it and only want to start with a blank slate every episode. I've been burned too many times. Now, they have THE NERVE to complain that viewers won't engage? God damn, it's your own fucking fault, people.
Oh, come on, that's bullshit, Mozilla hates fixing bugs and would much rather work on adding new features. Anytime someone tries to pull that "we are working on more important bugs" baloney, it means they're not working on anything. Those bugs will sit there unfixed for years, if they were actually prioritizing bugs they'd get fixed eventually. But, no. It's just a phrase they use to brush off criticism.
Explain the cowpox/smallpox thing. Is there actually a correlation there or did you just pull some scienceism out of thin air? Seriously, WTF? Dirty farm air and the development of vaccination have nothing to do with each other unless you want to really reach. I suppose cowpox was contracted by farm workers so there's your brain's connection.
With deliberately responding to flamebait comments and pretending that they're not, we wonder why women invent complaints or make false harassment claims? Do you even know what went down during gamergate? Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if someone from your cabal wrote that comment and then directed that someone else reply to it. And if you're not in a cabal...you should be.
And who got those ridiculous, expensive laws passed, that were designed to screw companies over? Why, environmentalists, of course. Is anyone surprised?

Here is the correct answer to this test, as printed in the pages of the Grey Lady herself. If you failed the test, think long and hard about just how far out you are and just how few people share your views, and that you live in an echo chamber where dissent is either not allowed or quickly deleted.

Yes, we should be less suspicious and more trusting of huge companies. Let's all apologize to our corporate masters for unfairly slandering them.
