    Oh-so-responsible Google (who call themselves "the Good Censor") is about to create a panopticon search engine for China. Yes, tell us about how Saudi Arabia is the problem here. Google has tons of experience censoring search results in English and is taking that expertise abroad.

    Do you get 50 cents every time you post pro-China propaganda? I thought they only did that with their own people. They started with English speakers now? I guess it's a natural extension.

    How many did Obama start? Was it more than seven?

    Whataboutism is a propaganda technique first used by the Soviet Union, in its dealings with the Western world.[1] When Cold War criticisms were levelled at the Soviet Union, the response would be "What about..." followed by the naming of an event in the Western world.[2][3] It represents a case of tu quoque (appeal to hypocrisy),[4] a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position, without directly refuting or disproving the opponent's initial argument.

    No I mean how are we going to have global governance? We need it to deal with climate change. Without a central authority to punish violators, the whole project is doomed to failure. This authority can only be the USA, as much as we hate them they're the only ones with the military might to do it. The same military spending you just argued against. So WTF, do you want to make the world safe for humans or not? Because if you hate us, go ahead and advocate for less American defense spending. LOL taking money away from the hands of the deplorables...who cares about them?

  10. Re: Companies with money to waste on Tech Suffers From Lack of Humanities, Says Mozilla Head (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem with hiring a humanities major is that anyone who could make it through 4 years of that crap is someone who is OK with lying to himself. Moreover such a person will have been thoroughly educated in grievance studies, so you can look forward to conflicts with coworkers over trivial matters as well as a lawsuit after you dismiss the disruptive employee. So where's the upside? We'd all rather have a technically trained individual rather than a self learning religious bot.

    Johnathan Haidt talks about this. Conservatives have a 5 spectrum axis of values. Leftists have only 2, and of the 2 one will always will over the other: harm reduction. The Left literally sees the world in black and white. While conservatives see the world in full color.

    This was written before the American elites devoted themselves and their country's resources to the cause of global governance. How are we ever going to have global governance capable of coercing countries into complying with UN climate change rules? Not without the USA's military might doing the dirty deeds and the US taxpayers paying for it all. Ike's speech is sadly out of date. Today we refer to his people as "deplorable".

    It's a tell for the SJW left. They're not about diversity: the important kind, viewpoint diversity. You don't want to hire grievance studies majors for your business. They're nothing but trouble. Once they get in, they'll ensure that your employees are afraid to speak their minds.

  17. What, is Wikipedia hurting for cash? No. No they are not. They are swimming in cash. So much that I'm baffled by their need to do fundraising campaigns. The whole idea behind Wikipedia is that information wants to be free, and now Slate thinks it should cost money? WTF I thought they were socialists?

    The media induces panics all the time. Remember in 2011 they scaremongered about nuclear power? Germany got rid of its nuclear plants and is digging for coal. The media induced a panic about DDT and millions have died of malaria as a result. Fear mongering is standard practice for the media and they won't stop because they don't bear the costs of their malfeasance.

    Gosh, arrogant looking down the nose at Americans - from a European. Never seen that before! Especially on Slashdot! Tell me, did you get that idea to do this yourself or did you read it somewhere?

    Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't you start your own UK Slashdot? Then it can be so cosmopolitan and international, and you can ban people from using customary units. Ah, we all know that's not going to happen. All you're going to do is just continue being a little bitch and write mean little spiteful comments about Americans.

    That's because the purpose of wargames is to test systems and get people used to doing their jobs under stress. They're not there so that young jackass lieutenants can show off how clever they are. See, if you were actually smart you'd understand wargames and why the military has them. But you don't. IYI in action. The IYI pathologizes others for doing things he doesnâ(TM)t understand without ever realizing it is his understanding that may be limited.

    And the world will erupt in applause as this is the outcome they fervently desired for so long. The brutal racist Yankee bully, knocked off his arrogant perch by a peaceful rival. Pro-Americanism is generally a project of people who are culturally at a disadvantage, often those with very limited social capital, borderline literacy, and straitened geopolitical horizons. So itâ(TM)s a little ironic and rather amusing to encounter in Slashdot - a cerebral, borderless project that unites smart people from all over the world - an interest in implicitly endorsing this small-minded sensibility and severely dated program like "rah-rah USA" nonsense.

    China built their entire economy on being admitted to the WTO, a colossal mistake by American elites. They completely rely on exports for prosperity. Now that Trump's tariffs are bringing that to an end, they're screwed. They've got nothing. Once the social compact between the CPC and the people breaks down it's interesting times in China. Glad you left, though. America doesn't need your kind. Stay gone.
