Where'd you get that idea? Do you speak Persian? If not, the only story you get is from the bitter losers who were exiled after the Revolution. Don't listen to them. Iran's government is legitimately popular and they elected a government that represents them. And why shouldn't they be popular? They got a sweetheart deal from Obama where they profited massively and they had to give up little in return. Screwing over The Great Satan in a deal always goes over well with the people. If your entire knowledge of Iran comes from protesters, you're not getting the whole story.
Remember the vile misogynistic assault on Sarah Palin? It was OK to do it to her, but as soon as Hillary ran, it was wrong.
It's not exactly an absurd set of characterizations to say that the American Left despises the working class. They voted for Trump! The Democrat strongholds of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin betrayed their Party and turned their coats to vote for the enemy. To better understand this attitude, let's look at this article that Twitter's CEO retweeted and commented "Great read".
The next time you call for bipartisan cooperation in America and long for Republicans and Democrats to work side by side, stop it.
The best way to understand politics in America today is to reframe it as closer to civil war.
Good job shoehorning America in there, even though it's totally unrelated. You Americans always have to change the subject to yourselves, don't you? Every story, every day, every time is always about you. Ever wonder why the world despises you so much?
Surprise, there are more important things than prioritizing economic growth over all. Refugees are unskilled and incompatible with their host cultures. They are backward, don't speak the language nor care to learn, and are illiterate in their own native language. Importing them is a bad solution, as Germany has shown us.
It's amazing to see left-wingers pretend that they care about the working class. Last I heard, you were in favor of simply replacing them with fresh immigrants. Ones who are easily kept in check, have no idea what their rights are, and easily bought off with trifles. Let's just drop the pretense you give a shit about any of these deplorables.
What good are cheap crap goods if nobody has the money to buy them? This benefits our working class at the expense of our wealthy. Force China to accept our goods at the same rates we tax theirs at. If they won't play fair, fuck them.
How many flights a year have that? Unless you're on one of those, a seat belt isn't necessary. Every turbulent flight I've ever been on has just been bouncy. Sure, fasten your seatbelt but it's not like you'd bounce off the ceiling. You're using an extreme example.
Honestly I wonder why we bleating sheep even bother. Why have we not withdrawn all our armies from the wealthy nations of Europe and used that money to help our own people?
Let this be a lesson as to why you shouldn't commit evil acts and retard the growth of computing for your personal profit. The reputation sticks around for decades afterwards.
Microsoft made their bed. They can lie in it. They knew exactly how evil they were being with their "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" philosophy, and they were OK with that. Let them savor the bad reputation that comes with that choice. Why do people feel the need to play the "poor old Microsoft, why won't you quit picking on them" game on Slashdot?
You entirely miss the point. If this was a government fuckup, then someone in government is responsible. Someone senior, whose job it was to make sure these things don't happen. Someone who was given an adequate amount of money for the task. There might need to be an audit to see how this money was spent, and this must never be allowed to happen.
If this is classed as a security breach, this official's career (and everyone's career she has a mentor relationship with) is in danger. However, if it was a dirty hacker, then everyone can breathe easy: the excellent system we built was victimized. Prosecute, slap him in jail, and relax. Crisis averted. Nobody need be reassigned or demoted.
So you actually, really, truly believe that there are unseen enemies out there, sabotaging a discussion forum on an obscure tech website. Seriously? Slashdot has zero reach, it's not worth the trouble. Something like 95% of Slashdot readers never click on the comments. These days, it's the same 50-100 people talking to each other.
That's why this conspiracy theory nonsense is so destructive. It teaches people like you that there is no such thing as legitimate opposition to your ideas. Everything you see that disagrees with you must be the work of those dirty foreigners. It's the Red Scare Part II. Now, what do we know about blaming the foreigners for our troubles?
Yes? And? So what? The Savak was not nearly as bad as what the Ayatollahs did after the revolution. They were necessary to keep society on track, and not hijacked into Islamic barbarism. What happened when the Savak couldn't keep the peace any more? Revolution and slaughter, and a regression to medieval morality.
It was Crimea they annexed, not Ukraine. And the civil war in Ukraine was started by us. Russia annexed Crimea at Crimea's request after the West overthrew Ukraine's democratically elected government and installed a puppet government.
F off, I am an American who has been posting on Slashdot since it was the Chips n' Bits blog. This sort of shouting "you're a dirty foreigner!" has got to stop. It's xenophobic and precludes honest discussion.
Iran's government is legitimately popular. They're not "right-wing", they're Islamist. Islamism doesn't fit on the Western left/right scale, it's a third axis. The average Joe of Iran thinks an Islamic government is great, and it's how people were meant to live.
Come on, engaging in conspiracy theories makes you no better than those you hate. Contrary opinions doesn't mean a cabal is out to get you. Relax, breathe, look under your bed for KKK members.
The Shah was a good guy. He was a reformer and wanted to bring Iran into the modern age, over the objections of their people. The ayatollahs are legitimately popular. Just not among the Iranian exiles that dominate Western coverage. But the average Joes of Iran really like their Islamic government.
Nah, Western elites prescribed shock therapy and neo-liberalism for Russia. Unsurprisigly, it resulted in a few mega-rich and mass poverty. Is it any wonder Russia turned away from our oh-so-great system? We didn't try to make friends with them, we tried to ruin them.
We're not the good guys. Neither is Russia. At least they don't go around bullying other countries like we do. This World Police bullshit has got to stop. Our role as International Mob Enforcer means so much to the 25% of American children living in poverty even though their parents work full time for minimum wage. How about we cut back on bombing other countries, tell the Europeans to pay for their own defense, and spend our money on ourselves instead.

Silicon Valley is on the SJW side.

They hate us. Remember when they encouraged the BLM riots and cheered as people were attacked and neighborhoods burned? They encouraged and paid thugs to attack Trump supporters at rallies? Yup. It's because the Left regards the Right as "The Other" and doesn't feel that the rules of civilized discourse apply.

Good job with the hostility there. Gonna win a lot of elections with that attitude.

So, do you or do you not know that this certainly means that it's compromised by the NSA? You didn't reach that conclusion?
It means the NSA has broken it, fool. They wouldn't be quitting it otherwise.
Well, it's accurate. How would you put it?

You're no liberal and stop saying you are. You're a leftist.
Excellent! Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out, and may history forget ye were our countrymen.
