How bold of you to assume I only watch Fox News...

But enough about Bill Clintonâ¦

I shouldn't even have to dignify this with a response... I oppose fascism. Antifa, however, are not *merely* "anti-fascist" and never have been, even going back to their roots. They label their enemies as fascist as the moral framework by which to justify the use of violence to defeat them. This label frequently lands on people who are defending Western values (representative republics and Constitutional government among those) and free market economics, things that are not fascism. This is because these institutions stand in the way of building their desired communist utopia. This is to say, Antifa is made up of anarchist, socialists, and communist tankies, all of which I *also* oppose.

Off topic, but this is my first set of posts after a long hiatus. Posting from my iPhone is a crap⦠smart quotes/apostrophes screw up the post.

Antifa is a loosely affiliated band of communist agitators (a tradition going all the way back to Weimar Germany). Their end goal is communism. They oppose ANYONE who isnâ(TM)t sufficiently dedicated to Marxism. Iâ(TM)m not saying fascist donâ(TM)t exist. Iâ(TM)m saying actual fascists arenâ(TM)t common, and Antifa targets anyone who 1.) opposes communism, and 2.) anyone who opposes violence and intimidation as tactics against the former.

Antifa and other hard left groups lob the fascist accusation to anyone notable whoâ(TM)s anywhere to the right of Stalin in order to justify harming them or their families. Being opposed to Antifa is being opposed to political violence.

Suppression of "misinformation" is still government censorship if the feds are putting the screws to you.

Ni hao! Welcome to SlashDot!

The numbers answer the "what," not the "why."

I'll clarify what I think was the point of the post you're responding to: Trump isn't a career politician. He hasn't arranged his every waking moment to look squeaky clean to the American electorate. Up until this point, he hadn't any political aspirations, and therefore, it would have been pointless. This is just a fancy way of saying that career politicians are artificial as a side effect of trying to get elected repeatedly. Trump has never run for elected office before, and so he hasn't been fake -- at least not in the same ways that an experienced politician would. As to whether or not he'll be graded on a curve... that's really for the voters to decide.

Yes. And for statist government types, such a change has the added benefit of hindering *people's* freedom of movement.

In answer to your questions, 1.) yes, and 2.) no. She committed a serious crime. It shouldn't matter what she's running for. And I'd say the same thing if the shoe were on the other foot, and it was Trump facing federal charges for passing classified information through an insecure and unauthorized email server in order to hide political favors for private donations. We deserve better than a political class that is above the laws they impose upon us.

I only have two Logitech gaming devices (G15 keyboard and a wired gamepad), neither of which I would describe as poor quality. I've also had few to zero issues with just about every Logitech device I've owned, save headsets. Obviously, YMMV.

You clearly don't understand the term "accelerating" then. Think of driving a car. Even when you're "decelerating," you're still traveling forward, but your speed is slowing. The same applies to population, but replace the word "speed" with "growth," and it's equally accurate.

I'm assuming (always dangerous to do) you were being facetious, but this idea isn't new. The problem is violence predates language. The idea will never be foreign because all manners of organisms use violence to compete and survive, even should they not have a language per se.
