    I don't think punching trash cans, setting fire to cars and breaking and looting are very effective ways to fight the republicans.
    Also getting their asses wrecked by the actual far-righters, but that's actually irrelevant, as you can't punch the nazism out of a person.

    That's the beauty, they glue to the democrats like weird headcrabs and then go to the streets and do all sorts of vandalism, violence and general thuggery, and this paint the dems with a bad picture, and those can't disavow the antifa because it will call em nazis until they yield.

    If i was the russian government trying to push the republicans, i would just secretly fund the antifa.

    My point is that the political side is irrelevant. It's just the act of spending money into those technologies that make the future worse, because technology don't choose side, it is on the side of those who wield it.
    You can kill an american with an AR-15 and a communist with an AK47. The tool will not take a side because it's only a tool.

    Unlike some far right people might define, SJW is used by most people meaning a far left fanatic individual that will try by any means to force people to follow their increasingly absurd laws.
    You can't have a "good SJW", because by definition is someone with quite evil or warped intents.
    But it's quite easy to find the sane people in this mess. Just find the person being called a nazi by the far left and a SJW by the far right.

    The hole is lower than that.
    The value of the money in an UBI society comes from the corporations being taxed for it.

    Baked GI can look quite convincing as long you don't actually rotate objects around.

    Textures are only sampled N times per pixel onscreen, not mattering if its a 32x32 or 4096x4096 piece of thing.
    Of course, caches may get into play, but i never seen an actual performance hit caused by a bigger texture, unless was a texture being pulled from the main RAM thru a slow bus (not that there is such thing as fast card bus).

    If you go by the academic and sociological definition of racism yes.
    But by the definition of that book that is used by the SJWs, you can't be racist against a white, because racism is privilege plus power, so they do a shitton of low brow racism against whites on most media platforms without punishment.
