Why Liberals Are Turning Against the Internet

1st August 2018

Read it.

A reliable Voice of the Crust realizes that, oh noes! When the reins of power are gathered into few hands, bad things happen.

“Silicon Valley Is Not Your Friend,” cried a recent headline in The New York Times. Perhaps surprisingly, the long article below called for federal regulation of the destructive and arrogant information high-tech companies now being blamed for the election of President Donald Trump and much else besides. Having spent years telling its readership that Zuckerberg was a revolutionary innovator and boy genius, The New York Times has had second thoughts. If you believe that the most pressing danger facing the American Republic is sitting in the White House, the author explained, then think again. Apparently, it’s hidden in Silicon Valley.

Toronto Asks for $32.6 Million From Government to Control Gun Violence

1st August 2018

Read it.

You know, the guns that are banned in Toronto. (Maybe they’re all road-tripping from Chicago, who knows?)

Yeah, banning guns will surely eliminate gun violence, no doubt about it.

Twitter: We Don’t Shadowban, Unless You’re a ‘Bad-Faith Actor’

1st August 2018

Read it.

Tech companies are re-writing the dictionary and its hard to keep up with all the changing definitions.

President Trump, the RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, and GOP members of Congress all reacted on July 26 when Vice released a study indicating that Twitter was shadowbanning conservatives by removing them as results in the Twitter search bar. CEO Jack Dorsey and several other employees denied it several times on Twitter and released a blog post saying that they did not shadowban. Well, sort of.

Twitter qualified its statement saying unless a user was a “bad-faith actor” or interacted with “other communities” that were bad faith actors.

I.e. ‘not progressive’.

Trump Supporters Filmed Hurling Sustained Abuse at Journalists Following Make America Great Again Rally

1st August 2018

Read it.

All of it richly deserved. One think you’ll never see in the DemLegHump Media: ‘Journalists hurl sustained abuse at Trump supporters’, because all you have to do is turn on the TV to see it happening in real time.

They can dish it out, but they can’t take it.

A Half Century of Amnesia

1st August 2018

Steve Sailer looks ahead a bit.

Whites who are made aware by researchers of just how precarious their children’s long-term political position will be are likely to favor more conservative policies. It’s almost as if citizens assume that the point of the United States is, as the Preamble to the Constitution states, to benefit “ourselves and our posterity.”

In other words, white people become a problem for Democrats when they are made aware of the fate Democrats are plotting for them and theirs.

The political problem for white people is that there’s nothing they can do about being white. They are being targeted for something that will not change. So eventually they wake up to the fact that if they don’t do something about white people being targeted politically, it will turn out badly for them. So they eventually have to get tribal, as the various Fashionable Minorities are being, in order to survive.

White people are not inclined to think racially about themselves, but are coming under increasing pressure from ‘non-whites’ to do so because they are being forced into it. And once white people start thinking of themselves racially the Fashionable Minorities (and their wranglers in the Demagogue Party) are going to really regret it.

SOCIAL JUSTICE LEAGUE: Superheroes Are Promoting LGBTQ Tripe Instead of Fighting Crime Now

1st August 2018

Read it.

It’s hip, and trendy.

After all, crime is merely caused by oppression, and oppression is caused by people not Getting With The Narrative.
