Submission + - #metalgate SJWs prove their real purpose: censorship (deathmetal.org)

Submitted by hessian
hessian writes: Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) comprise the driving force behind the incursion into metal against which #metalgate is a reaction. Metalheads do not want to be told what to think by a self-appointed cabal determining what is “true” based on their ideological agenda. It does not matter which agenda that is, only that it swallows up truth and metal equally and uses them as means toward its real goal, which is power and control.

Submission + - #GamerGate, #MetalGate, And The Campaign Against Creativity (returnofkings.com)

Submitted by hessian
hessian writes: It is clear that the social justice warriors are campaigning against the social outcasts rather than the misogyny, homophobia, racism, or general prejudice they claim to be fighting against. In the wake of their attacks on the gaming world, and on the cusp of their attacks against the metal world, one must wonder what is next. AnimeGate? ComicBookGate? LARPGate?

Submission + - 2600 offers to distribute "The Interview" for Sony (2600.com)

Submitted by hessian
hessian writes: By freely offering the film online, millions of people will get to see it and decide for themselves if it has any redeeming qualities whatsoever — as opposed to nobody seeing it and the studios writing it off as a total loss. Theaters would be free from panic as our servers would become the target of any future vague threats (and we believe Hollywood will be most impressed with how resilient peer-to-peer distribution can be in the face of attacks). Most importantly, we would be defying intimidation, something the motion picture industry doesn't quite have a handle on, which is surprising considering how much they've relied upon it in the past.

Submission + - SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS ARE COMING FOR OUR MUSIC #metalgate (metaltalk.net)

Submitted by hessian
hessian writes: SJWs are a divisive and destructive force in the world today. Masquerading under the guise of social justice they seek a position of victimhood and aim to label everything that stands against them as prejudice. Their modus operandi is to use shaming language to close down the conversation leaving them free to assert their dominance.

Submission + - How SJW's Picked The Wrong Fight With #MetalGate (reaxxion.com)

Submitted by hessian
hessian writes: You may have noticed #MetalGate trending pretty hard on Twitter and being reposted by popular GamerGate personalities, and that is in no small thanks to David Draiman, frontman for the band that pretty much introduced me to metal, Disturbed.

Comment The web is shrinking (Score 4, Insightful) 396

Problem with the web: too many websites with too much content, not one answer that can be given consistently to similar questions:

Solution: standardize the web, with Wikipedia, Google Knol, etc. and squeeze out those smaller websites so they stop mucking up the corporate profits.

When the sheep get warm and comfy enough, yank anyone who doesn't dish out for SSL, and make it so that it costs a thousand dollars a year to reasonably publish on the web, instead of the pennies it did a few years ago.

Then, you have total dominion and total control. For much profit!

Submission + - What Is #Metalgate? (returnofkings.com)

Submitted by hessian
hessian writes: Unlike #Gamergate, this is not something with a new sex scandal or coverup revealed. Rather, it represents the consequences of leftist invasion over an extended period of time. Leftists in the last several years have been trying hard to infuse metal with social issues instead of just enjoying the angst. The above video discusses this at length. The Washington Post wrote in 2006,

Submission + - #metalgate explodes as SJWs attack heavy metal (deathmetal.org)

Submitted by hessian
hessian writes: It is easy to see however why someone might want to — as writers have in the past — call heavy metal conservative. Metal avoids “social issues” and other internal questions of a society and instead looks at the health of a society as a whole, or in other words, how sane it is. We see a world gone insane through a refusal to pay attention to reality. The methods of that are beyond an artistic genre and should be injected into it, but since 2006 at least trying to reform metal has been a pet project of SJWs.

Comment We need more open file storage (Score 4, Insightful) 302

I appreciate the reasons for the war on piracy, but TPB was more than a pirate nexus: it was a great place to links to downloads via bittorrent that everyone could get to.

The internet needs to return to its wild west days of open file storage. True, lots of people are going to pirate, but that's technologically inevitable. The anti-piracy people are destroying necessary stuff along with what they fear.

The game is to find a unique angle to approach your research that's essentially clickbait, then produce some results, and figure out some way you can claim victory and go home.

If you're just doing this to get on to the next stage, it makes sense to plagiarize and get it out of the way. You can get to the nice fat yearly income that way without having to know much of anything.

Do we have a quality of scientists problem because science is such an esteemed (and often well-paid, in private practice at least) career that people who should not be scientists are trying to be scientists?
