Nothing about the status you perceive yourself to have by publicly displaying the Apple logo? After all, everyone knows they're expensive. You're displaying it in public. You sure it's their service, invisible to the outside world, that you like the most?
This is why we have so much sympathy for unemployed steel workers...oh wait we don't. We engage in ugly, classist bigotry in a regular basis and get modded up to +5 for it. So much for tolerance for the outgroup!
Panhandlers do make a good living. Better than honest work, that's for sure. I used to wonder why they ever made money, if we all agreed to stop giving to them, they'd disappear overnight. But, I found out there is a certain kind of human that is vulnerable to this. They feel awful about not giving. The panhandlers aren't just begging, they're selling a product. The product is the approval of these vulnerable humans' own conscience.
In the 50s they did all kinds of racist shit that would never fly today. Mickey Rooney dyed his skin and slanted his eyes to play a part. Calling someone Manchurian today is racist as fuck, bit for some strange reason your account doesn't get deleted for it.
So pretty much how Facebook/Twitter/Google are policing undesirable thoughts off the internet? Only Xi is using the same methods but has different outcomes in mind (e.g. continuous communist party control, forever).
Calling someone a Manchurian anything is racist as hell. It's because it's Trump, isn't it? For some bizarre reason, the rules of being a racist don't apply. Mongoloid, subhuman, it doesn't matter. It's just weird to see people doing this in public.
It's more about how nobody was talking about libertarians at all, and then you just came out of nowhere and started railing against them, Grandpa. It's like how my own Grandpa would start ranting about Jews, apropos of nothing. Is it naptime already? Those libertarians won't hurt you while you're taking your nap. Did you forget to take your pills?
Worked incredibly well? You mean in Iraq? In Libya? In Yemen? In Syria? You joking? Where has it worked incredibly well unless you're privileged, white, and benefit from war and murder? The world has been loudly demanding an end to American bullying and domination. Now you're getting what you asked for, and you're complaining about that as well. Typical. It's a rigged game. The only winning move is not to play.
You're still punching down. How is it that people like you went from practically worshipping the working class to outright despising them? What happened? For the workers, remember?
I just don't get how people are able to make such obviously racist comments and get modded up for them. Manchurian what? Why don't you dye your skin and slant your eyes while you're at it, like that man in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"?
Using disease metaphors to describe "undesirable" societal elements...who else did that? Oh right the Nazis. Insisting that people who disagree have mental problems and must be involuntarily committed for their own good...who else did that? Oh right the Communists. What kind of thinking needs to be removed again? Look in the mirror.
So you just decided to throw in a libertarian strawman for no reason? Who was arguing that, grandpa? Show us on the doll where the libertarian touched you.
Way to punch down and berate the little people for the crime of thinking they could use financial schemes to their advantage like the ruling class does. Stay in your places and don't get uppity, peasants, right?
Leftists, not liberals. Liberals believe in freedom of speech. Leftists don't. There's a big difference there. Today, actual liberals are few and far between. The label sadly has come to mean leftist these days.
"many of these ads did not violate our content policies. That means that for most of them, if they had been run by authentic individuals, anywhere, they could have remained on the platform."
Shouldn't you stop foreigners from meddling in US social issues?
The right to speak out on global issues that cross borders is an important principle. Organizations such as UNICEF, Oxfam or religious organizations depend on the ability to communicate - and advertise - their views in a wide range of countries. While we may not always agree with the positions of those who would speak on issues here, we believe in their right to do so - just as we believe in the right of Americans to express opinions on issues in other countries.
the ads were non-political in nature, and didn't feature or favour a political candidate
56% of the ads were run AFTER the 2016 US federal election
25% of the ads were never displayed to anyone due to Facebook's algorithms not finding them relevant to trending interests
only 25% of the ads were geographically-targeted
Facebook is not sure that the ads were part of an organized campaign
Facebook is not sure that the accounts the ads were purchased with are associated with each other
Facebook is not certain that the ads were purchased by Russians
many of the ads were not purchased using Russia's currency
huge numbers of actual political ads are bought and run on Facebook from all countries around the world, and that is normal and OK
the "overwhelming majority" of ad-space purchases from Russia by Russians are normal and not suspicious in any way
So, after all the investigations and debunked conspiracy theories, the strongest argument for alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US federal election is $100K of non-political or partisan Facebook ads - more than half of which ran after the election, and a quarter of which never ran at all.
Putting it into perspective: Total election spending: $2.4 billion. Total Clinton/Trump Facebook ad buys: $81 million.
Nobody is in denial about the unfortunate revival of States Rights, a discredited racist doctrine decisively refuted in the Civil War. This FCC nonsense is just a vehicle to revive this outdated idea. Don't fall for it! Keep the power to regulate in the federal government where it belongs! Don't be Russia's tool.
China is a nation of 300 million (USA sized) people attached at the hip to 1,000 million poor third world backwards peasants. To get a handle on this, imagine that tomorrow morning every US citizen woke up with 3 clones beside him. Obviously your reaction would be, "get the hell out of my house, you deplorables!" after which the clones would be on their own with no safety net, no welfare or medicare, and the US government would not allow them to stay in the civilized cities, banishing them to the rural areas (hukou system).
That's basically the situation in China. So these 800 million users are 300 million normal people plus 500 million morons from flyover territory. Needless to say they have little to offer besides cheap labor for the benefit of the capitalists on the coasts. Kind of a metaphor for our own situation in America, eh?
Uh...so have you been in a coma for the last 20 years? The rogue superpower? World police? Unelected global tyrant who disregards the UN? You have got to be fucking with me. Please provide citations to the positive feedback the American people have gotten. All we hear on the ground is what racist, sexist, transphobic monsters we are. And fat, don't forget fat-shaming. Please tell us where we overweight, bigoted shitheads are hailed as saviors. Did you know we rape 1 out of every 4 women who enter our university system?
Don't walk into the trap! This is all a plan by Trump to take power away from the federal government and give it away to the states. Don't let the discredited, racist doctrine of States Rights get popular! We crushed this idea in the Civil War, remember your high school history classes? If you go along with Trump's plan, the toxic after effects will long outlast his impeachment and dying in prison. Don't let states take control of powers that are rightly the preserve of the federal government, no matter how much you don't like it. It sets a poisonous precedent that will come back to bite us in the ass in the years and decades to come, long after Trump is an asterisk aberration in American politics.
Don't fall for it! The plan is to outrage people and use that to devolve federal power to the states. Keep the control in the federal government where it belongs! Admiral Ackbar says it's a trap!
Don't fall for this deception!:( Trump's whole plan is to devolve power from the federal government to the states. This kind of thing just empowers his MAGA agenda! Don't go along with it! We'll be sorry after he's out of office and we have 50 different standards designed by people who went to State U instead of a single standard designed by graduates of America's elite universities. This has the potential to poison the well of wise federal government control for decades to come. Don't let this transparent agenda fool you!

You are the fascist here. It's obvious to everyone but you.

I bet he has no idea how much he has in common with Facebook, Twitter, and Google.
