    Marxists in Russia killed millions decades ago. Should we punch Marxist demonstrators in the U.S. today? Unless these so-called Nazis are actually engaging in violence, you are punishing one for the actions of another. Nazis are not typically violent today. White supremecists are not typically Nazis. White nationalists are not typically white supremacists. Right-wing demonstrators are not typically white nationalists. Claiming to fight bigotry by punishing one person for another's actions is hypocritical.

    Look how capitalism solved all of Russia's corruption and violence problems.

    But you could skip the ad hominim and go to the sources cited, which include academics stretching back to the 20s or 30s. Fascism as anything but a progressive idea is demonstrably a post-WWII revisionism. It's part of historical myth-making. Like how we all use the name Troy, even though it was called Illios.

    Except that calling Republicans Nazis has been en vogue for liberals since at least as far back as the 70s.

    It's a market. Sane rational actors would bow out and get a fucking job. Then YouTube would have less content. And if that content is worth a damn, YouTube would start paying a bigger share. My suspicion is this content is worthless, though.

    Creatives don't have a right to making a living from their creativity. Only the best of the best of the best creative output is worth money. The rest is dreck. YouTube's value proposition was not originally supposed to be everyone turning themselves into ad revenue streams. It was originally a way for people to get their ideas out there. YouTube is already giving you a free platform to spread all the dumb shit that pops into your head. They don't owe you shit.

  8. Re: Google dumps useful product...how shocking! on Google Quits Selling Tablets (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    It's readily apparent that Google has never tried to turn one of their devices into a profitable prospect. They've never bothered with any traditional sales channels, they only support brands for a year or two, they seem to sometimes be "dumping" devices at or near cost.

    Google makes great devices, but they have no desire to be a company that makes devices. They create ad services. As long as there's an Android ecosystem, Google has no need for their own devices.

    Instead, they seem to step in when the market is too stupid to move in the right direction. Google puts out a device to demonstrate what others should be doing. Then once it catches on, Google abandons it.

    I have been struggling to find a decent 7" tablet for years. The giant Zach Morris phone brigade fucking ruined this entire market. Those assholes are too cheap to buy a decent tablet, so they'd rather buy a giant McPhone and then they can't figure out what a tablet is for.

    I would give $1000 for a decent octacore Android tablet. The market is there, but it can't support all these poverty-stricken assholes driving the whole market into producing the cheapest shittiest devices they can come up with.

    I don't think it's quite fair to say corporatism is leftist. It can come from either side. From the left it's a partnership in control, from the right it's a competitor to control.

    To be fair, we have way more white people. There are plenty of peaceful white nationalists (the vast majority).

    Those were German Nazis in the 1940s. These are American Nazis of the 2010s. The venn diagram of those two groups is essentially empty. You can't punch one for the actions of another without being a hypocrite.

    You're missing the fact that this is numbers for screens in a household. If you watch half hour of news while your kid watches an hour of cartoons and your spouse watches two half hour morning shows, your family has racked up 2.5 hours of viewing time in one hour.

  18. I can't believe anyone gets paid for this shit. This is narcissists splatting their lame lives on the Internet for all to see. It's a way of boosting your ego through likes or thumbs up or +1s or whatever. Maybe women get more value out of the ego boost.

    No it isn't. Sharia does not have particular prescriptions and proscriptions. It is malleable. It takes on the character of the society implementing it. If the society is a regressive, misogynist, anti-semitic one, then its Sharia implementation will reflect that. If the society is a progressive, feminist, ecumenical one, then its Sharia implementation will reflect that instead.

    Religion can be used to justify absolutely anything. Including human rights.

    Even if you want to compare apps instead of devices, the Google Play Store has more apps and more people downloading apps than the Apple App Store.
