If you can be ostracized from society for criticizing its stories, then it's state run, and your state has rampaged through all boundaries seizing everything, in which case, you probably don't have a 'state' per se, you have a shell controlled by a small 'interest group'.
Did I ever say Xinhua wasn't state run??
Also do you actually know what you're talking about? Are there examples of this?
And obviously you have no point, a news outlet can be state run without such overt acts. At very least the Chinese are honest about their thought policing. Seems like a plus to what we have.
In our society, most people who have valid criticism just end up reproaching themselves and honestly abandoning their notions, maybe even labeling themselves as "crazy".
At least in China things are more straightforward and less totally fucking insane.
No, it's meant to be something to inspire "manifestos", as you say (nice use of a 'super special word' to make everything your opponent says wrong, by the way), and a great deal of other things
Saul Zaentz was born on February 28, 1921, to immigrant Jewish parents in Passaic, New Jersey.
What a surprise.
In 1955 he joined Fantasy Records, for many years the largest independent jazz record label in the world. In 1967 Zaentz and other partners purchased the label from founders Max and Sol Weiss. The partners signed roots-rock group Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), fronted by former Fantasy warehouseman John Fogerty.
Guilty of unleashing that awful poison on the world
In 2011, Zaentz's company began several legal actions against small businesses in the UK to enforce their "Hobbit" trade mark, including the Hungry Hobbit cafe in Sarehole, near Birmingham and a pub in Southampton, England, which had traded as The Hobbit for twenty years. This raised the ire of many British correspondents such as Stephen Fry, who described it as "pointless, self-defeating bullying."
This shows how the plutocracy can economically pressure artists, appropriate their work, and suppress their message, and spit on them as their work makes tons of money they will never more than a penny of.
The significance of Tolkein's work is ground-shattering. It embodies every value our civilization was built on, most of which are presently being torn to shreds by the media machine and its...associates...and their other businesses. It's potential to inspire people against the status quo is enormous. So much so that it's a very real danger to the system.
The main purpose of the creation of the movies was not just to accumulate a mountain of gold, it was to suppress the message of the book and prevent a generation of young people from being truly inspired by it. The story is similar with the burst of 'fantasy' genre fiction. Instead of allowing Tolkien the possibility to promote his book freely, the publishing industry, horrified by the success of Lord of the Rings, sprang to generate a wave of vacuous bullshit to choke its potential to spread.
Most people are not too smart, they think something like 'OH FANTASY, I KNOW THAT SHIT, SWORDS AND MAGIC AND SHIT, AND MIDGETS SMOKE WEED LMFAO', and that's exactly what the film and publishing industries, and their common associates, want. Lord of the Rings is an order of magnitude above the rest. It's not 'fantasy' genre fiction, it's literary monolith, a mythology for the ages.
If you dig into this story and ask yourself some hard questions, the story around the treatment of the Lord of the Rings can open your eyes to how this society works, for who, and why.
And anyway, however you want to cut it, most of the government and the media are essentially the same entity here. Democrats = media, at any rate, that can't be argued against sanely.
Pain is an absolutely essential component of the information you get from your environment. It's a required part of complete cognitive process.
In case you missed most of reality (mass surveillance, stupefying media, federally mandated false education, economic disparity (bubbles, crashes, depressions), etc.), most of society exists to control you. The medical industry is no exception. It exists not to help you achieve your potential through good health, but to CONTROL you, keeping you healthy enough to work but too unhealthy to compete against higher status people.
By cutting out much of the stimulation and motivation that small pains provide, people are kept apathetic, stupid, and weak.
Your aching joints are telling you to stop being a lazy sack, your cuts, scrapes, and burns are trying to increase your coordination, and your headache is telling you order your life to reduce stress.
As if ANYONE couldn't tell this with common sense, as if this doesn't occur to every single doctor, as if this isn't on the mind of the doctors who devise medical protocols.
Of course it's intentional. Just because you don't know what to do about it doesn't mean you have an excuse to ignore it.
Yes, send the brain-washing signals to the corners of the Earth where people are disenfranchised from the benefits the internet enhances for the rest of us.
And it's not even worth the trade off for any us, as you can see by the world-upside-down changes that have come over people in the last 20 years. Most everyone is essentially totally insane. The potential of the masses to be free-minded seems permanently destroyed.
That's a blanket definition with no resolution. Why don't you just try to tell us 'All men are pigs, it's science'?
There is no excuse, no matter who the target is, for this insane perversion of justice, this blatant spurt of witch trials.
"But she said it was so! And I don't like the guy anyway, so what difference does it make?"
The true damage done is to the minds of the people who support this madness. The "thought" process involved in accepting this charade is poison for your humanity. Sure, you're trying hard on the "compassion" side of it, but all mammals have that at least. What about the RATIONAL MIND and WILL TO SEE THE TRUTH? If you lay that aside, civilization unravels. We degenerate into animals. All of us who see that need to set aside all differences and band together to weather to storm of public insanity that would destroy us all.
Sure, let's just twist "intelligence" and "art" to mean nothing.
The machine has no will, no soul, no innate purpose; therefor no intelligence. It has nothing to express, so it can't make art.
This kind of thing just promotes soullessness. It's a literal, physical opposite of art. Instead of inspiring you toward living life, it 'inspires' you to be complacent with death.
Sure, the idiotic researchers making this poison are probably 'innocent' and just think they are 'progressing science', but the people funding them know what this is and are wholly malicious. Our culture has been hijacked since the end of the World War, and so few people seem to have noticed.
Post-modernism is a weapon to destroy us all, as foretold by many. If only the middle class used their wealth to improve themselves instead of pissing it away because 'life is so hard I worked so hard I deserve it". I guess that's what happens when you have an anti-meritocracy to suppress competition against the plutocrats and give a bunch of morons money.
More totally irrelevant 'partisan politics' fanfare.
More perpetuation of the venomous and idiotic notion that common people can do something about pollution by making small changes to their lifestyle.
If you want to save the environment, throw down this system and stop the insane consumption of resources for its own sake. So VERY many of us have our motivation, our outrage, stolen away from us by these false outlets for our discontent. Stop falling for it. Take up your problems with those who actually cause them. And being polite isn't going to cut it. You're going to need a sterner argument than mere words can provide.
And the structure of the government has mattered since when?
It's all completely corrupt and held on a leash by the plutocrats. When's the last time we went 10 years without war?
AAAHHH TERRORISTS
The 'party lines' don't matter. Stop getting distracted by such meaningless bullshit because of your insecurity and desire to feel like you understand what's going on.
If fascists "peddling" protected classes killed millions of people, then how can you assume jews being a protected class won't lead to the same or worse?
Seriously, do you have a brain? I'm speaking out against a protected class existing, and you are accusing me of promoting them somehow. For who?
Slashdot Mirror
Sure, it's interesting.
This is how the editors get their pay, by feeding us a stream of stories to influence our thoughts.

Eventually you have start calling kettles black
The plutocracy has gutted our civilization and there is nothing apparent worth working for in line with our historical values.
Rest assured though, they will find something to work for soon, and when they do, the plutocrats are going to burning at the stake.
This shows how the plutocracy can economically pressure artists, appropriate their work, and suppress their message, and spit on them as their work makes tons of money they will never more than a penny of.

Fuck you, retard
This symbolizes how the plutocracy can appropriate any art they want and twist it into poison and spread it all over.
Who cares? Apparently not brainless drones like you, but some of us REAL PEOPLE realize this is a threat to future.
A Jewish-owned airline based in Portugal wants to make passengers lie prostrate stacked on top of eachother?
Xinhua is state funded, not state run.
Yes, it does.
And anyway, however you want to cut it, most of the government and the media are essentially the same entity here. Democrats = media, at any rate, that can't be argued against sanely.
The government is there to serve the people. It's progressively become more about leading the people.
Especially the people who insist the government exists to serve the people but don't hold it do it's responsibilities.
There's nothing irresponsible about having children at a young age. See: time immemorial
Just because you're a childless dried up cunt doesn't mean everyone else is wrong.
You are such a stupid bitch, seriously, everything you say is stupid.
the state-run Xinhua news agency
funny how you never hear:
the state-run BBC news agency
so very funny

You say this as though one branch of the government or other isn't tapping every phone call at all times.
I think the true headline is they were forced to admit they USED 3.3 million of the records they already had.
A vector for them to force their contribution to the mass surveillance drag-net onto millions of innocent people

Your logic is brainwashed and circular.

You. Are. A. Total. Moron.
The market would be tanking.
How can anyone innovate, compete, and do business when everything they make can be destroyed 'with a click of a button'?
This situation is enforcing the status quo to a hideous degree. The time is long past for violent revolt.
