Oh, for sure Nazi Germany was socialist. It was just "the wrong kind of" socialist. The Soviet Union, "true socialist", was international socialist. Germany was national socialist. Ever wonder why they had such a vicious war? It was a civil war, the worst kind. They couldn't both be right.
The funny part is where you think there will be a Democrat administration in the next 20 years. The DNC is on fire right now, the corporate wing kicked out the SJW wing and stacked the Rules Committee with its supporters. They came out in court and stated that they don't run a democracy, they are a private organization who can appoint whoever they like as nominee. They've got nothing, nothing in the tank for 2020 and beyond. Hillary Clinton wants to run again. Creepy Joe Biden is just waiting for his scandal to drop, for some bizarre reason the media isn't running with his child fondling. Senator Al Franken is a sex offender and who knows how many other bombs are in the closet waiting to go off.
There's Tulsi Gabbard but she's on the shitlist for reaching out to Trump. If Trump can deliver economic growth and jobs which he appears to be doing, and especially if he can do something for the blacks in the inner city, the Democratic Party is finished.
Here's a fun party trick: go to Google.com, type in "Hillary Clinton", and try to get autocomplete to say something bad about her. Then, try it with "Donald Trump" (impeachment was the first auto-complete result I got, it may vary with your location).
During the James Damore scandal, I couldn't get Google to suggest anything at all about his name. It just suggested variations on "d'amore", the French word for love. Weird, eh?
The story leaves out the most important part, one we know by direct empirical evidence is more newsworthy than anything else: What kind of shirt was the spokesman wearing when he made the announcement? This critical piece of information is missing and we cannot possibly judge the impact of this news release without it.
Boy, it's really telling that our reaction is, "They asked that man for his honest opinion about how they could get better, and DAMN he was an idiot to answer honestly! What was he thinking!?"
You can tell who is really in charge these days by saying "women are good X, men are good at Y, women are bad at Z, men are bad at Q" and the only part people care about is that you said women are bad at something.
He said many women were not as drawn to the current work environment that tends to exist around software engineering. He even suggested changing that environment to better suit women so more would be more interested in working there. You can argue against the science, but you cannot say that that is a misogynistic viewpoint. But that's exactly what he was fired for. It's sad, Google used to be such an awesome company before they went evil. I used to really cheer for them when they succeeded. Now, Google just like all the rest of the corporate bastards, I just want them to lose.
Actually, children aren't the problem, people are barely having kids these days. The real problem is allowing immigration from low-carbon countries to massively high carbon countries. A westernized immigrant has a 302% larger carbon footprint than if they stayed at home.
The estimated 637 tons of CO2 U.S. immigrants produce annually is 482 million tons more than they would have produced had they remained in their home countries
The impact of immigration to the United States on global emissions is equal to approximately 5 percent of the increase in annual world-wide CO2 emissions since 1980.
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.

Glenn Thrush of Politico was exposed seeking Podesta's approval of articles about Clinton. Even Thrush wrote "please don't tell anyone" and "I'm such a hack". The smoking gun: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-...
The consequences for Thrush? He was hired by the New York Times after the election. What does it say about a company that it does these kinds of things? How does a person like that ever find a job in journalism, much less at the NYT? What the hell?
Paul Krugman Lies. Gets 8k+ retweets. . . "Ok, It's not true". 160 retweets. It's a simple matter of psychology: post misleading news, wait for people to react, it's something known as "impression formation". Once an impression has been formed, it sticks. This is how they psyop the masses. This is how they persuade people. A lot of these people will never check the news, they'll never check the sources, they'll never look for the original testimony, and they'll never see the truth.
Too often we label whole groups from a perspective that uncritically accepts a stereotype or unfairly marginalizes them. As one reporter put it, words like moderate or centrist "inevitably incorporate a judgment about which views are sensible and which are extreme." We often apply "religious fundamentalists," another loaded term, to political activists who would describe themselves as Christian conservatives.
We particularly slip into these traps in feature stories when reporters and editors think they are merely presenting an interesting slice of life, with little awareness of the power of labels. We need to be more vigilant about the choice of language not only in the text but also in headlines, captions and display type.
That's a foolish argument. China has as many foreign bases as it wants to have. If they want more, they can easily get them.
Whaaa? Huh? In order to be a superpower, you need global reach. China doesn't have it. It's a regional power. Hell, they're hemmed in by three solid lines of defense. Look at a map sometime and draw a line from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, to Vietnam. Pretty solid, and that's just the first line keeping China boxed in.
The US has the Strait of Malacca, anchored by stalwart ally Singapore, and this is China's jugular vein because it's where all their oil comes from. The US Navy cuts this off, poof China is done.
I feel you do not really appreciate just how bad China's position is, nor do you understand what a superpower does or is. Where's China going to put these bases? Are people going to call China when there's an earthquake or something?
Leftists seem to think that perchance they didn't call people racists, sexists, homophobes, and Islamophobes enough. Maybe if you just verbally shat upon the stupid, uneducated, hateful, and soon-to-be-extinct white masses in flyover country who put Trump over the top, you could have shamed enough of these irredeemable rubes into voting for a party and an ideology that clearly hates their guts.
You can put that "New York Times was not reporting false news or outright lies" idea to bed because they absolutely do. Why don't you hear about this all the time? It's huge news when they do it, and they do it often.
Glenn Thrush, the former senior staff writer at Politico who found himself in hot water when a WikiLeaks dump in October revealed that he ran an article by Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta prior to publishing, thought the Georgia results were lackluster. Thrush is now a political correspondent for The New York Times.

New York Times says Trump's tweets incite violence, yet published an image of Stephen Miller's severed head on a pike.
The same people criticizing Trump for his WWE tweet had no problem with the New York Times sponsoring a play that depicted Trump's assassination.
A New York Times reporter called Melania a hooker and they wouldn't even release the name of the reporter that said it, let alone fire her.
"Without your help," a beaming Fidel Castro said while nodding at Herbert Matthews during a visit to The New York Times's offices in April 1959, almost exactly a year after he'd visited Marquez-Sterling, "and without the help of the New York Times, the revolution in Cuba would never have been."
China has one, singular, military base overseas. That's not a superpower. It's not even close. Maybe after they pass up France we can revisit the conversation. China has no global power and is hence not a superpower.
James Damore did not say what most people think he said. He did not say women are unsuited for tech jobs. He did not say women only have tech jobs due to affirmative action. That is all bullshit piled on by those mau-mauing him, in an effort to expel someone whose questioning made them uncomfortable.
Why it made them uncomfortable is the fascinating part of all this.
It makes them uncomfortable because it shatters the brittle shell of their enforced narrative, which can only be kept by keeping everyone from saying anything against it. It is very much a "the king is naked" situation. If James Damore is allowed to say men and women are different, the entire project of social justice shatters.
And yet everyone who doesn't live in academia or in a social justice echo chamber knows that men and women are different.
Google revealed themselves as evil the moment they publicly replied to the memo. The only non-evil move from the start was not to acknowledge it in the first place, and then if they wanted to be secretly evil, fire him down the road for whatever reason. Instead Google could not stop themselves from showing they were ideologically motivated, just as this memo accuses them of.
I've been using duckduckgo.com for search, and it's fine. It's not 2001 any more, the horrid results of Yahoo and the others aren't relevant any more. God help me I've even used Bing a couple of times. And hey, if it is that rare occasion you can't find something, go ahead and use Google just that once. But please stop using them on a daily basis because they're evil.
Since when does the Left give a shit about the deplorables? You actively hate the population of the USA. The long-term success of the USA is the worst thing that could ever happen. It would just embolden the jingoists and racists to continue bombing the piss out of the rest of the world, and a revitalized economy would provide the cash to do it with. Patriotism is racism. Supporting America is jingoism. Where do these bizarre sentiments even come from?
See, I just don't get this. WTF? Since when does the Left give a shit about the USA? According to the Left, America is the worst country on the planet, global warmongers, slavery, Jim Crow, etc. They actively wish to break up the country and have nothing but hatred to offer the people of America, whom they call 'deplorable'. So I'm having a hard time understanding this sentiment. Ruining America is the goal. I guess the Left is just mad they're not the ones doing it?
SuperpowerS, plural? There have only been two superpowers, the USA and USSR, and one of them is in the grave. It is on this occasion that I am reminded of one of the finest actors of all of film, Andre the Giant, who said: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Nazi Germany wasn't socialist. *facepalm*. National Socialist German Workers' Party. Gimme a fucking break. Fascism grew directly out of Socialism. They're two branches of the same tree. But they can't both be right, eh? That's why the Nazis had such a war with the Soviets: National Socialism vs. International Socialism. The war between brothers is always the most vicious.
Uh...huh? Coleman Young ruined Detroit during his term from 1974-1994. The shithole it is today is due to his policies. By the way, stop "Googling", Google clearly turned evil. Moreover if you're going to verb it, it doesn't take a capital letter.
So they took five days to figure this out, eh? I bet the restaurants during the conference were fantastic. Let's take a look at what the conference really decided: the need for an even better and longer conference next year.
He said countries are likely to meet on the issue again for two weeks next year for further discussions focused on how autonomous weapons work and how their use should be controlled.
"I am very happy with the start we made," he said.
It is at this point I am reminded of Blazing Saddles, one of the finest political documentaries ever made.
Governor Le Petomane: Holy underwear! Sheriff murdered! Innocent women and children blown to bits! We've got to protect our phony baloney jobs, gentlemen. We must do something about this, immediately, immediately, immediately!
Reporters, Taggart and the Governor: Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph!
Poe's Law strikes again. I can't tell if this is serious or not. We're actually living in a world, right now, where someone can suggest that segregating citizens based on their race is an act of racism â" and THAT PERSON gets hit with death threats, stalkers, and accusations of being racist. Let that sink in. Looking at actual racism, and calling it racist, makes *you* the racist.
And it is California's pride to contribute, seeing that they have so much, and others have so little. That's basic socialism right there. I can't believe you're simultaneously defending socialism and complaining about taking from the rich and giving to the poor in the same post.
