King Rama VI - who perhaps not incidentally had studied at Oxford - described the Chinese as "Jews of the Orient" when ordering their expulsion from Siam.
Afaict "white nationalism" is the creation of the feverish imaginations of a handful of rich, bigoted Ivy League corporate-Progressives who together control the semi-official "news" / propaganda organs. Most likely the myth of "white nationalism" developed as a self-delusion, to help degenerate ruling class exploiters explain why the working class hates them, without admitting to themselves that they parasites on the social body.
In as much as any actual "white nationalists" exist in the real world - and I'm not convinced any do - they exist only because they have been conjured into being by a non-stop barrage of multi-channel propaganda.
From what I've observed, anyone who talks seriously about "white nationalism" is a bigot, a fool, either a capitalist or more likely a running dog, and has internet tough guy fantasies of being a genocidaire against their own countrymen. In short, they're a Nazi.
Disagree. Corporate censorship is a direct affront to personal freedom of speech and conscience. Lack of net neutrality is a financial threat to web publishers, and therefore an indirect threat to freedom of speech.
Both are important. But our first priority must be reducing censorship on the de facto public squares of the internet.
Yup. The corporate social just-us nazis at Google et al. remind me very much of the "fundamentalist Christians" who were prominent a couple decades ago.
The same huffy self-righteousness. The same raging hypocrisy. The same burning desire to force their morality on an unwilling public. The same mean spirited, small minded, small hearted outlook on life.
The social just-us nazis do seem rather better financed than the fundie fake-Christians were. (I guess suitcase full of cash from the Chinese intelligence services can come in handy.) But they are just as tiny a fraction of the population. And just as intensely unpopular with the average Joe.
Google is a surveillance company. The ads are just a cover. They make the majority of their revenue from selling surveillance data to repressive governments.
No need. Big Brother Google already fired all their competent engineers. All that's left now are H1-Bs and screaming social just-us activists. I mean, seriously, have you seen the utter shit quality of Google's recent software?
Cost of living keeps sharply increasing all across America. The only thing that hasn't been skyrocketing are wages. Stagflation is back with a vengeance!
Yet the official statistics say there is near-zero inflation. So I'm sure there are some credulous bootlickers here who will argue that noooooooo, even tho everything everywhere costs a lot more than it used to, there really is no inflation. 'Cuz authoritay told them so.
No no no! Big Brother Google will only censor scaaaaaaaaary Nazis. Oh noez - Nazis are everywhere!! Hitler himself might be hiding under your bed. Eek!
Censorship is good and only wrongthink gets censored. People are too stupid to run their own lives, so they need to be protected with Science(tm) and FACTS(tm)(R)(c)!
There's zero chance Google will ever censor any goodthink. 'Cuz Big Brother Google loves us all.
What I really want to know is: At this march, will there be vendors selling rotten tomatoes, rancid eggs, etc with which to pelt the anti-sex pro-lynching Googlenazis?
He's no real Communist. He's probably never even read Marx; much less Lenin, Stalin, Mao, or any less famous thinkers.
Hard question #1 for real Commies: okay, we have abolished private property. NOW WHAT?
I know Lenin's answer. But to most people today, including those who sympathetize with Communist ideals, Dictatorship of the Proletariat seems like a flawed idea with some pretty bad history.
See these "antifa" brownshirts aren't really interested in economics or political philosophy. When you call them Communists you're giving them way too much credit. They're just a bunch of angry, angsty college kids... who are looking for a socially acceptable excuse to join a lynch mob.
More OBVIOUSLY fake news from the failing New York Times. "Because his contact list is on the unsecured phone" - *really*?
I understand that Progressive Democrat partisans are known for being small-minded, small-hearted herd animals. But seriously, does anyone who has ever been remotely close to fedgov believe the US military and intelligence services are so utterly incompetent? Yes, yes - NSA spies on the entire world's communications - but they can't figure out how to copy an address book between two iPhones? Suuuure.
Remember back in the day, when NYT was more credible than the National Enquirer? Ahh the good old days!
No. He didn't try to use the coercive power of big capital and/or the state to force you to obey a bunch of rules he has no intention of obeying himself.
No need for above-the-law style corruption if your laws are sufficiently wicked. All the great massacres and tyrannies of the 20th Century were fully lawful at the national level.

I include it as part of the "everything everywhere" that has been sharply rising in price for the last decade, while wages stayed stagnant.

It's a witch hunt against straight men. I don't see any particular racist aspect to it.
Comrade, where is your sash? Directive 572.34b requires that members of the Junior Anti-Sex League wear their sash at all times when in public.
There's no preview on mobile.
But the bike is Agile(tm)!
And we changed the definition of "neo-Nazi" from "someone who advocates literal Nazism" to "anyone a Democrat happens to disagree with today".
That's equivalent to a person getting caught speeding at 100mph through a school zone, drunk off his ass... and getting fined $0.15.

Oh my brother - you don't *really* believe that, do you?
If in fact you do believe it... can I interest you in purchasing some timeshare property on a Florida swa.. er.. beach?
Sorry dude - no way I'm typing on a primitive, unergonomic flat keyboard like that.
