You can't spend your life as an evil robber baron and then make it up with charity. It doesn't work that way. Bill Gates held computers back for a decade with his illegal monopoly. People here had to deal with it on a daily basis. He did tremendous harm, all so he could not get rich, but get richer.
Right wingers don't get invited to media elite parties. Trump was a pro abortion Democrat forever. The accusations of racist didn't start until he ran for president.
When Palestinians get violent, it is their own fault. Saying Trump is responsible is to deprive them of agency and insist they cannot make decisions for themselves. This is how slavery was justified, by dehumanizing the victims and saying the whites knew better. Sad to see these outdated attitudes still around.
It would, though. It would take away his ability to communicate with the American people directly. Instead everything he said would be filtered by a hostile media that openly backed Hillary in the election. We already have enough problems with left wing media bias coloring our view of the world, we certainly don't need more.
He got an award from the NAACP. He was never a racist before he ran for president. Hell, Trump was invited to Matt Laurer's infamous misogynist dinner party. That's not something that the media elites do to a disgusting outsider. You had to be one of their own to get into that room.
But... the media told me the party of racism is the Republicans. Democrats are totally not racist. That's why the media refused to air the photo of Hillary kissing the Grand Wizard of the KKK. Can't shake the Devil's hand and say you're only kidding.
The "no bullshit" mentality is how we pulled ourselves out of barbarism and are forging together towards a progressive future. You're welcome to emigrate to any of the countries without these attitudes. Spoiler alert: they're shitholes.
A lot of people do, though. They buy products not for the functionality, but for the feeling they get from owning the product. Having a product that knows them and feels like a family member? Priceless. It's not machinery to them, all that counts is the good feeling they get from using the product.
Race is always relevant. If the BLM protests haven't taught us anything, they've taught us that. We always look at race with everything we do. What we have here is a largely white audience criticizing a brown man for his conduct that they don't approve of. It's at the very least problematic, at the worst outright racist.
But that always happens. They use socialist ideas that sound good to get into power, and then the mass murders start. It happened in Russia, in China, in Cambodia, in Germany, in Vietnam...you name the country. Venezuela is about five years from mass murder, I'd say. They've already jailed opposition leaders and trashed the legislature...but let me guess, they're not socialist either, right? Another example.
"True socialism is the welfare of all the people, and not of one class at the expense of others. Therefore we oppose class warfare."
-- Adolf Hitler, November 12, 1922
"I, on the other hand, have been striving for twenty years with a minimum of intervention and without destroying our production, to arrive at a new Socialist order in Germany which not only eliminates unemployment but also permits the worker to receive an ever greater share of the fruits of his labor.
The success of this policy of economic and social reconstruction of our people, which by systematically eliminating differences of rank and class, has a true peoples' community as the final aim of the world."
-- Adolf Hitler
Why Are We Socialists?
We are socialists because we see in socialism, that is the union of all citizens, the only chance to maintain our racial inheritance and to regain our political freedom and renew our German state.
Socialism is the doctrine of liberation for the working class. It promotes the rise of the fourth class and its incorporation in the political organism of our Fatherland, and is inextricably bound to breaking the present slavery and regaining German freedom. Socialism, therefore, is not merely a matter of the oppressed class, but a matter for everyone, for freeing the German people from slavery is the goal of contemporary policy. Socialism gains its true form only through a total fighting brotherhood with the forward-striving energies of a newly awakened nationalism. Without nationalism it is nothing, a phantom, a mere theory, a castle in the sky, a book. With it it is everything, the future, freedom, the fatherland!
The sin of liberal thinking was to overlook socialism's nation-building strengths, thereby allowing its energies to go in anti-national directions. The sin of Marxism was to degrade socialism into a question of wages and the stomach, putting it in conflict with the state and its national existence. An understanding of both these facts leads us to a new sense of socialism, which sees its nature as nationalistic, state-building, liberating and constructive.
Socialism is possible only in a state that is united domestically and free internationally. The bourgeoisie and Marxism are responsible for failing to reach both goals, domestic unity and international freedom. No matter how national and social these two forces present themselves, they are the sworn enemies of a socialist national state.
We must therefore break both groups politically. The lines of German socialism are sharp, and our path is clear.
We are against the political bourgeoisie, and for genuine nationalism!
We are against Marxism, but for true socialism!
We are for the first German national state of a socialist nature!
We are for the National Socialist German Workers Party!
Why are civilized countries utterly dependent on a shit tier country like America for their defense? Why don't they defend themselves? Why are they so flabby and weak?
Instead of speaking truth to the powerless, maybe try kindness and understanding towards the lowest in society. The bigoted classism on display was utterly disgusting, and entirely opposite left wing politics.
After a year of loud agreement that the masses are the problem and the smart people in society are being outvoted, I'm not seeing the problem here. Why would we want to make the world an amazing place for those racists? Not getting it at all.
Why, that's so nice you can afford a hotel downtown! $250 a night or so? Must be pretty sweet being that high up. Staying downtown...I wish most people could afford that, and take the train to the one place it goes. Outstanding good fortune!
In America, unfortunately the rural people have influence far beyond their numbers due to the outdated electoral college system. The urban elite are systematically disenfranchised. It's not any kind of democracy.
Freedom of religion is guaranteed under the UN convention of human rights. Did you forget that one, Adolf? Or maybe you just wanted to exercise your vile islamophobia in public. Either way, back to your hole, disgusting troll.
Entire world? Huh? How's it our problem? We have no culpability whatsoever. If any nation can be blamed it is China, for propping them up for so long. I'm really at a loss to understand how what happens in North Korea is anyone's fault but North Korea's.
WTF dude. Pure projection here. We're talking about Sudan, remember? Where'd we suddenly change the topic? If we're talking about me personally, I can assure you I had no problem with the ladies back when I was on the market.;)

Donald Trump is such a terrifying fascist dictator that literally nobody fears speaking out against him on any platform.

Slander a group? Scapegoat group? You mean like the deplorables?
You mean a socialist government started out well, but then it all went to hell and millions died? Wow, that never happens when socialists get power.
It's always nice to see raw, bigoted classism on Slashdot. It's more distressing to see such harmful hatred modded up. Shame, Slashdot.

The urban elite will win, while the racist rural masses will be eliminated. Where's the downside?
