Only ONE side is suppressing people's speech. It's the Left. The Right is fighting hard for free speech, which a few years ago wasn't even mildly controversial.
Telling it like it is is now malice, eh? I've run across this in other forums. Any criticism of women is taken as misogyny, and making successful arguments is harassment.
If women demanded bigger pockets, women's clothes would have bigger pockets.
So, engagement is OK when Google does it? Uh, that's not the argument we heard with North Korea. Engagement is bad. We have always been at war with Eurasia.
Wha? I'm not a communist, I'm an anti-communist. I don't really understand how you can confuse the two. Yes, communism has been tried at scales large and small and has failed every single time. Why else are you so reluctant to relocate to where you can live under communism? If it was so great, there would be people flocking to communist countries.
When corporatism and government blend together like in America, is there really any difference? During the 2016 election, it was difficult to get Google auto complete to suggest anything bad about Hillary Clinton. But all one had to do was enter Trump and watch the epithets pile up.
100% of kids can't go to college. Recognizing that and dealing with it is a great strength. We used to have vocational education in high school before it was gutted a decade or 2 ago.
This sort of hectoring, accusative attitude is precisely why electric cars are such a hard sell. People just get turned off by all the hostility of the community. It's toxic and people don't want anything to do with it.
It's not a contrary political opinion, communism very openly states it must be the only political party in a country. Moreover it seeks to unite all countries under a single world government. It must be resisted at every turn. Anyone who advocates it needs to visit a communist country and see how well it works. In Cuba, there are no rich or poor. The government distributes society's resources equally. The fact that they don't have any resources to distribute should teach you something about communism, but I doubt it.
Everyone on this site cheered when Google went evil and fired that man for saying men and women are different. Working with China? What else do you expect from an evil corporation? This is actually pretty tame. Google isn't giving people cancer like Monsanto or robbing their bank accounts like Wells Fargo.
Took 3 seconds to find. Tons of other references available. Why is there denialism about this issue? Hell, in 1989 Bernie Sanders traveled to Cuba on a trip organized by the Center for Cuban Studies, a pro-Castro group based in New York, hoping to come away with a "balanced" picture of the country. The late, legendary Vermont journalist Peter Freyne sighed that Sanders "came back singing the praises of Fidel Castro."
I have to give it to you for the whataboutism in your last sentence. Not many people use whataboutism in its original sense, to deflect from the crimes of Communism, any more. But here's an example spotted in the wild. Pretty cool, actually.
No one is suggesting we adopt Cuba's form of government.
I hate to be the one to break this to you, but a lot of people, especially in our universities, are suggesting exactly that. Distributing society's resources equally among all people is a highly attractive idea.
The High Plains Smallpox Epidemic of 1837 was caused by personal contact with infected passengers from the riverboat St. Peter's, owned by a fur trading company. The epidemic on the High Plains centered around Fort Clark which, despite the name, was not a military installation. It was a privately owned fur trading post. The boss of Fort Clark was Francis Chardon, a fur trader. His personal diary survived to this day, one of numerous eyewitness accounts preserved from the time.
Not only were infected blankets not distributed, but correspondence from Joshua Pilcher, the Indian Bureau's sub-agent to the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Ponca at Fort Kiowa, just south of Fort Clark, to Mr. Chardon describes one particular problem interfering with attempts to contain the epidemic that is curiously relevant to today. A smallpox vaccine existed in 1837, but Mr. Pilcher noted "it is a verry delicate experiment among those wild Indians, because death from any other cause, while under the influence of Vaccination would be attributed to that + no other cause[.]"
Sound familiar?
In 2006, Ward Churchill was found guilty of seven counts of research misconduct https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... by the University of Colorado Ethics Committee. He was fired in 2007. He promptly filed suit, and won a jury trial for wrongful dismissal. The jury followed the instructions to the letter in coming to their conclusion, but recognized Churchill for the lying shitheel he was and awarded him precisely $1.00. (One juror denied any such motivation in a public interview.) A judge vacated the jury verdict on the grounds that the (state) university enjoys quasi-judicial immunity. The Colorado Court of Appeals upheld that decision. The Colorado Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal and in 2013 agreed with both the first judge and the Court of Appeals that the university was immune to suit in these circumstances. The US Supreme Court declined to get involved.
It took 19 years from when Churchill first published his fraudulent bullshit in 1994 to the time when the judicial system finished with the case. It could easily take four or five generations for his lie to finally exit the public consciousness. This despite the fact that humanity currently has the fastest, most ubiquitous communications systems in the history of the species.
Ward Churchill: I've never really stopped to spell out why I was saying what I was saying, or to flesh out the annotation, partly because I mentioned them in the context of developing broader arguments, and partly because I considered what I was saying to be more or less self-evidently true. So, I glad-handed things a bit. Mea culpa.

If those that demand no Voter Identification were concerned for the poor, they'd facilitate the acquisition of ID, not seek ways to avoid it. After all, what's the best job you ever had where you didn't need to identify yourself?
Only ONE party disapproves of measures to make our elections secure, and also your president lied to you. Voter ID is NOT a function of America's "racist past". EVERY COUNTRY THAT'S not a dictatorship has some form of assuring that the person voting is entitled to. EVERY COUNTRY.
Building large firebreaks is illegal in many jurisdictions due to environmental laws. Clearing fuel for fires is illegal as well. Putting fires out is legal, so it will keep happening.
Wait a minute, the Left despises the American working class. Remember the deplorables slur? Bitter clingers? Democrats got NAFTA passed. And to suddenly reverse and say the Left cares about the workers? This is some serious Orwell level "we have always been friends with Eurasia" moment here.
They are Americans first and citizens of the world last. Fuck that noise. You think we're obnoxious and stupid, and you're free to say that (in America anyway, probably not your country). Go ahead and sleep easily due to the free security we provide, the protest against the US military starts early tomorrow morning. In short, fuck off, you ungrateful jerks.
A country with extremely high carbon emissions, one that is irresponsible and depraved for wanting to increase its population and therefore carbon footprint. A country that has long been the target of attacks for interfering in other countries, acting like a bully. Why's it bad that America is withdrawing to develop itself for a while? It's what the entire world was literally demanding.

As for Fake News, they just keep providing more and more evidence. NBCâ(TM)s national affairs analyst John Heilemann said that thereâ(TM)s a decent number of Trump supporters that would be ok with the president killing their parents or grandparents.
The mainstream media, everyone. Making shit up. How is this not Fake News?
Here's everyone's favorite publication that just hired a racist, the New York Times:
"[Trump] is not rounding people up and murdering them without any due process."
Ready for Goldberg's reply? Sit back:
"He would certainly like to."
Seriously - that was her reply.
The lady who is representing the New York Times.
She wasn't fired for making things up. Just watch that video and tell me they can write a story about Trump without injecting their personal politics into it. What do you call a mainstream media that invents things out of whole cloth? Fake news.

So you're fighting against imaginary foes? And injecting misogyny into it by stigmatising victims of domestic abuse? How'd this get modded up?

You sound very frustrated that nobody wants to listen to your far left views. Maybe you'd be happier in a country that shares your values - like Cuba.

That's not socialism. Socialism is government control of the means of production. Anyone tells you anything else is socialism, he's lying.
The smallpox blankets thing was neither an act of terrorism nor an attempted genocide because it didn't happen. The entire story is a fraud, perpetrated by a former "ethnic studies" professor named Ward Churchill. http://quod.lib.umich.edu/p/plag/5240451.0001.009/--did-the-us-army-distribute-smallpox-blankets-to-indians?rgn=main&view=fulltext

NAACP requires photo ID to attend anti-voter-ID protest march
Indian citizens have voter ID and they are buttfuck poor, much poorer than the worst of the American poor.
California liberals allege voter fraud, demand voter ID. Democrats think voter identification laws are important for their party elections, but think they're not important when it comes to our elections.
Maxine Waters, an advocate against voter ID, requires an ID to attend her town hall meeting.
Hillary Clinton's Book Tour. Valid Photo ID Required. Suppressing minority turnout, or is this one of those things that's OK when Democrats do it but wrong when anyone else does it?
Calling people monkeys is racist, period. It's a common insult for people of color. Of course you know this already.
Building large firebreaks is illegal in many jurisdictions due to environmental laws. Clearing fuel for fires is illegal as well. Putting fires out is legal, so it will keep happening.

Whoa, that racist comment just came out of nowhere! Why'd you have to bring race into it?
This comment is literally whataboutism.
