What's odd to me is that this seems like it should be bad for Jews, and that they wouldn't want this to be the case, and that in general people wouldn't want a minority treated as the majority group in these cases...…
The rich white guys you mentioned in this comment are all Jewish, for what it's worth. Not trying to be a conspiracy theorist or a racist here, but trying to pin this on white privilege isn't entirely accurate.
Yeah, I should've been more clear, but that is what I was talking about.
It's a totalitarian ideology which is fundamentally opposed to liberal democracy. It shouldn't be tolerated for the same reasons Nazism shouldn't be tolerated.
The two are not mutually exclusive. Belief systems influence actions. Obviously it makes sense to call out the Neo Nazis within the Trump movement, so why wouldnt it make sense to criticize ideas which are effectively…
Even if that were the case, that doesn't make it a good idea to align yourselves with Islamists as many on the left have.
Surface Studio is actually selling at 2x what Microsoft anticipated it selling for, so it seems to be a bigger market than one would think.
Well they failed to do it but given the opportunity they would have used immigration and amnesty to shift demographics in order to dilute these people's votes (and make money for their donors by holding labor costs down)
There's more than one way to rig the system. A substantial increase in immigration and an amnesty program would have provided an even bigger opportunity for Democrats than gerrymandering has for the Republicans.
Calling out Republicans specifically over identity politics seems kind of silly, given how much of the Democratic Party's politics is based on race and gender.
I think it's also worth noting that this was not a particularly sophisticated attack. Podesta fell for a simple phishing attack. A lot of media attention around this has made it sound like something out of an action…
Wouldn't Apple's hiring policy likely mean that she was given the job on the basis of her race and gender? They have to be doing that in order to achieve the diversity numbers they're so happy to publish each year.
So why not try and fix the mismatch between the paycheck and the value produced by the worker rather than just abandoning the idea of producing any value at all? Even if someone is paid 10% of what they produce, I'd…
Yeah, I would imagine things are milder than they have been in my experience. But I've heard people say the phrase "white people have no culture" upwards of 10 times by several different people, the majority of whom…
Weren't those negotiations with Boehner mainly just intended to avoid sequester? That's a fairly unusual situation. Outside of that I don't recall anything, but I may have just not paid enough attention. As for the…
and then there's the question of how many therapists would validate this thought process? And how much will that number increase?
In my personal experience there seems to be a pretty big difference based on the age. People who are like 26 are much less aggressive about it than people who are 18-22.
It's not just a small percentage of activists. I'm 21, and I live in Ohio, which Trump won by 9 points, and it seems like a huge portion of people about my age are proponents of these ideas, on or off of college…
That is really not true given the full history of things. Most Republicans were very willing to compromise after Obama first took office, but he elected to completely ignore them instead since he had a super majority.…
Um...yes, it did. They manipulated everything they could to limit his exposure and got a decent number of African American voters to fill out absentee ballots towards the beginning of the primary before they had any…
That is a better way of saying it, I was more thinking of it from the perspective of the media coverage
That is too funny, almost too good to be true...kinda like how Anthony Weiner got pulled into all this Clinton scandal business.
Well, at least these aren't bursting into flames. (Although, hilariously enough, they are still sort of exploding, just in a different way.)
They care too much about backwards compatibility I think. .NET had done generics this way from the beginning.
Doing it a better way is hard
