I just went over to Zerohedge and found a front page story about Facebook. You wouldn't think that would be fertile ground for neo-nazis, but let's look at some of the highest-rated comments:
"I love the smell of KIKE roach burning in the morning"
And on just the first page of comments, I've counted 11 instances of the word "kike" or some variation, and 4 mentions of "oven" or "gas".
This is what you call "anti-establishment". Zerohedge is the Daily Stormer with stock tips.
If it's like anything I've seen at universities in Canada or the US these days
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that you haven't been on a college campus in decades, and probably haven't spoken to anyone who has anything to do with higher education in at least that long.
When you say "like anything I've seen", why don't you tell us what you've "seen"? If it's anything like what I've seen in your other comments, it will be equally imaginative. My guess is that what you've "seen" really means, "what I've read on Breitbart and the Daily Caller".
The current power structure that hates Trump because he's sorta anti-establishment?
Everything you've said here is bullshit, but this one takes the cake. Every single branch of government in the United States is currently being run by pro-Trump Republicans. Every.Single.One. To say he's "anti-establishment" is ridiculous on its face. He is the establishment. He is the swamp.
Daily Stormer is a neo-Nazi site. Zero Hedge is an anti-establishment site.
You will find a lot more anti-semitic and racist stuff on Zerohedge than you will on Daily Stormer.
Here, do this simple test: Go to Zerohedge right now. Pick a story that mentions "bankers" or "Soros" or the word "global". Now count how many comments before you get to one that is shockingly anti-semitic. You can do the same thing with any story that mentions a black or hispanic person in any context and racist comments.
Plus, how can a site be "anti-establishment" if it supports the current political power structure?
Glasses, bowtie and/or tweed jacket... and be sure to never say anything, just look at them inscrutably when they speak. You'll get tenure in a fucking week.
Spoken like someone who has no idea what it takes to get tenure.
Don't believe anything you read on Zerohedge. It's basically the Daily Stormer with stock numbers and their articles are far more likely to be copypasta from Infowars than anything real.
If you want to see a good film noir on YouTube right now, check out THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS (1946), starring Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin and a 24 year old, smoking hot Lizabeth Scott. It's good nasty fun and there are no commercials. It was directed by the great Lewis Milestone.
Here's a link. Don't ever say I ain't done nothing for you.
Criterion Collection (AKA WarnerMedia) has announced their plans to make their entire collection available for $9.99 a month or $89.99 for a year (for charter subscribers) to replace FilmStruck. It will be known as the Criterion Channel.
I'll pay $10 a month for the Criterion Collection in a heartbeat.
Bio-Dome? I don't even think they play that on cable.
Pauly Shore was robbed in the Oscar nominations that year. ; )
The user interface on the phone network is almost invariably hooked to a fucking ringer which interrupts people and demands a real-time response.
You've never heard your computer or mobile device make a notification sound? And the truth is that you can turn off your ringer just like you turn off your notification sound. It doesn't change the fact that a bot is using up bandwidth that you paid for. Whether it's email spam or a robocall or some trollbot.
Assuming there isn't another major conventional war that forces major shifts in tactics, or some other major development in weapons technology?
Major shifts in tactics aren't forced by conventional wars, but by asymmetric warfare.
One of the major roles of government is mutual defense of the citizens from external threats.
Our military budget hasn't been spent on the mutual defense of the citizens from external threats for at least 70 years. Some would say that the last time the US military defended US citizens from external threat was more like 150 years ago. So your argument is completely irrelevant to the F-35. It will not be used to defend US citizens. Ever.
Saying that single fighter program could somehow fund the entirety of US healthcare is wrong and social security is baseless and wrong.
That's actually not what I said. I'm saying it would fund the difference between what we're spending now on health care and what universal health care for all Americans would cost and still have enough left over to make Social Security solvent for many decades.
Seriously, the F35 program will be 80 years old in 2070. Do you really think the F35 will still be viable sixty years from now? For comparison, the F8 Crusader's lifespan was 45 years from first flight to when it was retired.
Let's not bullshit: The F35 program is not about the F35 being used by the military, but being sold by Lockheed Martin. It was a taxpayer-funded boondoggle from the beginning. There are moral and practical arguments for why universal health care would be good for the country (and its citizens). There are no such arguments for the F35.
The F35 has an expected $857 billion full life cycle cost over 53 years.
Since the F-35 first hit the drawing board in 1992, I'm not sure where the "53 years" comes from. Maybe you're using military math.
Plus, when did you ever hear of a military program that actually came in at it's expected expenditure? Originally, the price tag for the F-35 was supposed to be about $50 billion. We're up to $857 billion and counting (and that's a very conservative estimate).
"Whitaker, a former U.S. attorney, served on the firm’s advisory board "
Really doesn't sound like "His Company"
It was enough Whittaker's company that he made promotional videos for them and wrote threatening letters to customers who complained about the fraud. He was apparently very involved with the company.
Just remember, the head of the Justice Department is Trump's new appointee Matthew Whittaker, who was a patent troll whose company was shut down for fraud and whose claim to fame was a toilet designed for guys with really big dicks and a time-traveling bitcoin-based commodity..
What we spent on these stupid fucking planes that we're never going to use would be enough to pay for universal health care AND shore up social security for decades to come.
I mean, as long as we're borrowing the money anyway, can we please invest it in people and not dumb shit?

This "blockchain gaming" sounds like a truckload of horseshit.
I wonder if these new cryptocurrency press releases have anything to do with this:

The data suggests otherwise.

Bots is bots and nuisance is nuisance.

Should we also fine the ISPs for every bot they don't filter? Or maybe just the individual websites?
Your Trump cyber force is awake.

But what if the military and military contractors are actually the parasites?
It's nice to be appreciated. Most of my jokes are just casting pearl necklaces before swine, but it's gratifying when somebody gets one.

Asylum is legal immigration.
Opposition to the current government of Israel is not the same as anti-semitism.
