Removing the internet might be the best thing for society at this point.

The DC protesters are chanting "No internet no peace"

And now "downton abbey"

I honestly think the guy with the megaphone is the only person who knows English in the protest.

Wait, did they cut off their cellphone towers or something?

I doubt it since I am watching a stream. Its mostly Africans with the streamer not even talking in English, I sersiously think these protesters don't even understand English.

The insane fucks who retooled Marxism as a religion, calling it Post-Modernism?

French.

The people at the root of that, Levi-Strauss, Derrida, Lacan, were not just French. One might as well call the Boasians Americans.

Before this decision, the members of the EC could vote any way they wanted, unless state law said other wise (i.e. state laws that said "the winner of the popular vote gets all EC votes" or "The EC votes will be distributed among voting %" [i.e. some one with 50% of the popular vote gets 50% of the states EC votes]}, which is why the NPVCI was a thing, it wasn't active yet because not enough states agreed to it, but it was getting close IIRC.

Will this decision interfere with Maine? Iirc they distribute EC according to popular vote percentages
Edit: please ignore me, I am late

This is random, but I recall reading somewhere that the last defenders to fall in the battle of berlin was a french SS division. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33rd_Waffen_Grenadier_Division_of_the_SS_Charlemagne_(1st_French)
I remember them being described as fanatical.
This appears to be more detailed https://www.warhistoryonline.com/featured/last-ss-unit-berlin-frenchmen.html

the last remnants of these guys eventually got captured by the free french in southern germany
the free french commander said something along the lines of "have you no shame wearing the uniform of the germans?" to which a captured french ss soldier replied "and why are you wearing the uniform of the americans?" which enraged the commander so hard that he had the entire group executed on the spot

they also hat a real grim marching song, much more bleak and dark in lyrics than the various other versions of the song used by other nationalities in the waffen ss

(video has slightly different lyrics and isn't the full song)

It really sucks to say, but it's true.

There's a lot of wonderful, amazing things about the internet, but it's literally bringing about the end of civilization as we know it, it's simply too much power in the hands of an immature species.

I never would have imagined the internet would have such negative consequences.

We just need to kick normies and comapnies/goverment off the internet again, and keep it a geeky/nerdy space again.

This is what really needs to be done, but how?

So apparently the protests can spread Covid since the Atlanta Mayor is now confirmed positive for it (likely after meeting with protest leaders or going to the protests.) Who would have thought all that close proximity to a bunch of joggers who don’t wash their hands would cause this? Is this attention seeking? A distraction from the disaster her town is in? An attempt to scare people? https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/06/atl...e-bottoms-tests-positive-for-coronavirus.html

No more cellphone/tablet internet (and this would kill me as a weather nerd, phone radar data is so nice to have), most normies don't even have PCs or laptops any more.
Hell when I was in Comp Sci 10 years ago there were "comp sci" majories who thought you can program in ipads (when they first came out) RIP your fingers.

You know they'll just blame Brian Kemp for it, timeline discrepancies be damned.

Kill the DNS servers, make the search engines harder to use.

And yet, no one on the right has gotten around to making a professional looking, neutral and normie friendly looking, alternative to Politifact / Snopes to counter the far lefty disinfo spin.

This is why Lefties (who organize) win over Righties (who don't). Granted, the second the Righties tried to organize, the Left would disrupt it, but at least make the damned attempt.

This is gonna sound cringey, but meme culture is currently the right's answer. People are increasingly becoming aware of how full of shit these fact-checkers are now thanks to the mass circulation of images exactly like this. Not one source that can have its payment processors sabotaged, but word of mouth.

Organizing and eventually taking your politics out the anonymous/decentralized is important, but deplatforming is a thing, so some failed attempts will precede the first successful attempt. And everybody on the right seems to be holding out for somebody else on the right to take one for the team first. It is a bad look, yeah.

Cuomo and De Blasio are responsible for this. I've said it before, Giuliani is an asshole but he knew how to run this city and make it work.

Naaa he wasn't an asshole, just a hard ass. I loved him. But again it depends on your perspective because if you were a New Yorker who was old enough to have lived through the 70s and 80s here (and I am) then you remember how bad it actually was. How bad the graffitti was. The crime. How filthy everything was. I could tell stories for hours about how many times I was robbed. It reached a point where I honestly thought that being a born and bred New Yorker meant that I felt indifference to being robbed multiple times a week. The gang violence and weapons - hell, I remember getting a taco at a mexican place on 2nd and st. Marks in like '83 (which was virtual suicide to be in that neighborhood at that time anyway) and a gang fight broke out in front of it. I sat there calmly eating my taco while watching people getting pounded on and stomped and thrown up against the glass storefront. Then someone pulled out a gun and started randomly shooting and everyone bolted. Not a single person in there, including me was remotely phased by it. This is New York - that's how it is here. No one thought there was anything that could fix the damage Koch did and Dinkins continued.

What Giuliani pulled off is a miracle and should be studied. He came down hard on the city and on top of it he backed the police 100%. The people bitching in Minneapolis have no idea - if that had happened here under Giuliani, he would have said something like, "Of course the cops kneeled on his neck! He was a criminal! In fact, let me read his record off to the cameras. If he wasn't high on narcotics, he wouldn't have died". I'm 100% certain he would have said that because he used to do that kind of shit all the time. Stop and frisk and profiling drove crimes to record low levels, until blacks protested that it's racist so they had to do away with it. Then blacks bitched that crime was on the rise in their neighborhoods again. People don't understand that you don't get, and keep, a city like NYC under control by being nice. This isn't Bismarck, ND - this is NYC. The minute you let up on the leash, the dog lunges at you.

One might say he's probably responsible for the scourge of hipsters and other well heeled out of towners who moved here in the mid to late 90s after he made it safe enough for them to live in "big, bad, New York" and gentrify the fuck out of it. I guess for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction.

There's a reason Giuliani has come out lately saying that De Blasio's a failure and he should run again. I'd vote for him in a second.

Sadly that would only allow the Washington Post, NY Times, and CNN to completely shape reality.

Yup, Memes sure would be useful in an election year.

As an aside, here's 3 memes that if you post to Reddit, Facebook, or Twitter, you are automatically banned. They're using the same technology they use to hunt down Child Porn to prevent this specific idea -- Voter ID -- from being pushed in a way that would get the left to accept it.

Off topic but I've always been fascinated by gritty 70s and 80s NYC thanks to movies like The Warriors and Taxi Driver.

I don't think I would want to live there, but I do think it'd be interesting to be able to visit, as someone that saw it firsthand, am I stupid for feeling that way?

Seriously? We're supposed to be taking budgetary advice from the stupid bitch who said that Bloomberg could have afforded to give every American a million dollars? The NYT Editorial member Mara Gay fucked up so badly that even Politifact fucking dunked on her.
