    The "alt-right" is a figure of the imagination of the "alt-left". There are nothing but radicals on both sides, let's call them for what they are.

    There have always been radical leftists as well as right-wing radicals, I'm just not sure where we skewed into the alternate dimension where radical leftism is so capable of browbeating the mainstream centrists into submission. I see the SJW-left as being as dangerous and unhinged as the violent religious right. Say that, however, and you're a "Nazi". When I tell folks it's not cool to flippantly call people Nazis, I get called a Nazi.

    The projection is so strong on the left, that it just continually alienates centrists and pushes them FARTHER to the right! Then we end up with what we have today, you're either a "leftist" or a "Nazi". Both are insulting to me, because I am neither, and I surely don't want to be called either one. Heated discussions ensue, and people walk away even more polarized than they started out. I think it's high time to walk away from all of it, and let the pieces fall where they may. Enjoy life while you still can and don't worry about "leftists and Nazis".

    Again, you keep using that term. No one is a "neo Nazi" just because you say they are.

    Again, you mean "racist" or "fascist", you should be using quotes so people don't confuse the historic derogatory meanings of those words with the new SJW definition of "people I don't like".

    "Nazis". It's always best to use quotes as to not go full-Godwin.

  8. $70 offer still available where Comcast faces competition from WOW or RCN.

  9. I play games to challenge myself on a personal level, not to interact with people. Social interaction happens in meatspace, everything else is abstract. If someone's idea of social interaction truly is playing an online video game, I recommend they turn it off and leave the house for at least a month. Online socializing is social masturbation.

  10. It infuriates me to no end that people think it's hip or somehow cute to take a word, remove a vowel, and think it's somehow now some hip creative name for their stupid service or tool. Dataminr. I'd like to find who ever came up with that and let them meet the Analizr, I'll leave what that tool would do as an exercise for the reader.

  11. Now you're just being disingenuous. Stop it. The judge is a member of the "San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association", (but somehow not the hate group "National Council of La Raza".) Hrm.

    So, let me ask you again, would it be acceptable to you if a caucasian judge was a member of the "San Diego Ku Klux Klan Lawyers Association" (but not, say, the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan) and was presiding over a case where a black person was involved?

  12. Can you please cite this? If so, then fine. I'll admit when I'm wrong. Maybe Trump got bad information, too. Or, perhaps, a federation of Hispanic judges shouldn't use the same name as a group of radical Hispanic supremacists?

    Could you imagine what people would say if the tables were turned? "Oh, he wasn't part of that KKK."

  13. I can imagine.

    I wasn't trying to be snarky, just that most people don't realize that Trump was actually a Democrat for decades, and most of his policies are fairly left-leaning when you give them an unbiased examination. He's like a classical liberal in that he's pro-first amendment, doesn't want to destroy the second, and has really done more for minorities and the LGBT community than Hillary could ever have dreamed of, and really wants to bring good paying jobs back to this country even if it costs the big boys at the top. He's just used his grassroots blue-collar support to take over the Republican party as a vehicle to drive him to the presidency. In my opinion, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. But you'd never know i, because the press has been so thoroughly conquered by scum.

    He is the true populist, unlike the shill candidate Bernie. All we can do now is see if things get better or worse for the people.

  14. Other than that, you know, refusing to rent to black people is pretty racist. Kind of by definition. And not sexist? Are you fucing kidding me?

    Please show a citation where Donald Trump (not one of his businesses, not some low-level agent of one of his real estate companies, not some employee of his who Trump probably never even met or knew personally, Trump HIMSELF) refused to rent to black people. I'll be waiting.

    I'm sure there's probably some racist sweeping the floors in a sub-basement at Apple or Google, should I boycott all their products if it one day comes to light? If the janitor was hired under Steve Jobs' watch at Apple, does that now mean Jobs himself is a racist? Grasping at straws, man. Hillary is the one known to use the N-word frequently, not Trump.

  15. He explicitly said that a judge with ties to a Hispanic supremist group (La Raza) might be biased because Trump wants to keep out ILLEGALS and this seems to have incensed those types. Also, he explicitly called for a temporary halt on immigration from Moslem countries until the people coming in could pass security/background checks to make sure they aren't affiliated with any terror groups. As for building a wall, you already know that's proposed to stop the unchecked flow of ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and that those who follow the existing process to come to this country legally would be welcomed with open arms. You knew that, right? RIGHT?

    Can you even think critically about these things, or are you blinded by your own projection of hate?

  16. I'm flabbergasted that people as stupid as you exist. Do you actually think the "KKK" is still a thing? Really? Let's be frank, here, whatever is left of the KKK is a handful of useful idiot rednecks and a whole lot of government agents. After Trump "disavowed" the "KKK" endorsement, he was asked about 20 more times by the media why he wouldn't disavow the KKK. Funny how that works. Yet, here we are, and people like you still actually believe this tripe because it fits your worldview.

    For your own sake, please, I beg of you. Wake up and realize that the whole world isn't out to get you and there isn't a "racist" around every corner. The world is a much better place once you realize most people are just that: people trying to get through their days unbothered. Continuing to believe a lie after it's long since been disproven doesn't help anyone except the master of puppets who're pulling your strings.

  17. Heh, yeah. Although the petty property damage doesn't bother me all too much, I worry much more about the people getting beaten and dragged behind their vehicles like in Chicago because they were the wrong color in the wrong neighborhood. And people burning effigies of Trump in the streets. By goodness, grow up!

    Being pissed because your candidate lost is one thing (even if the irony of their lack of self-awareness is lost on them), but trying to start a civil war because you've been mislead by the media is quite another, and it's one lesson everyone has to learn the hard way at some point in their lives or you never truly become an adult. Starting fires and killing people only gives the media whores what they want.

    Sounds like now In Republican America, state interventions Trump China?

    This is why you're confused: Donald Trump isn't a Republican. Not in the traditional sense, anyway. Why do you think everyone in the GOP was trying to tank his campaign. If the liberals are to be believed, they would fully agree with his "racist, hateful, xenophobic, sexist and dangerous" rhetoric. Not that he ever said anything that falls into those categories, mind you, but of course the Republican establishment tried everything in their power to sink him, he came right out and said he's going to knock down their house of cards!

    Trump is more of your classic Democrat than anything resembling a traditional Republican or neocon. If you watch mainstream media, you wouldn't know it (as both sides had enough reasons to hate him, calling him outlandish names like above and taking every word he ever said out of context was fair game) but had he ran for office as a Democrat in the 1980s/1990s or 2000, he would have been universally revered by the left.

  19. (This is not to suggest that I welcome a fascist in the White House, or a trade war with China, obviously. I just wish we hadn't lost most of our electronics manufacturing capacity with the end of Commodore in the early nineties.)

    It's OK. You're allowed to (even loosely) agree with something Trump has said or an idea he's had without a qualifier at the end to signal your virtue. Remember, this is America, and your first amendment guarantees you the right to free speech.

    Hillary lost, so these kinds of "signing statements" are no longer necessary unless maybe of course if you have a liberal boss who also reads Slashdot and knows your handle. Otherwise, rejoice in the fact that you can speak your mind without reservation!

    You have to understand that they can't help it. They're running a program they've been coded to run, just like a computer. Anything that's not in 100% agreement with their opinion is automatically flagged as "hate", "dangerous", "scary", and must be stopped "at all costs". Do we blame the computer when it executes the commands it is told to execute and then gives an incorrect result? No, we'd blame the programmer.

    We need to look no further than the schools/universities, media, celebrities, and those who control them (the programmers) to see why leftism is losing. Radical leftism is a failed ideology, but like all malevolent actors they just assume they can brute force their code onto enough systems so that they control the botnet. They've programmed these "machines" to react in this way. Unlike computers, however, we can't just wipe the hard drive and start with a fresh image--and unlike coding we can't debug the routine to see why it provides the incorrect result.

    All the rest of us can do is continue to spread the words of truth, honesty, love and liberty rather than the inverted result you get from the malfunctioning machines.
