False. It is no coincidence that as we enter an unprecedented period of economic depression, all the liberal media wants to discuss is racial disparities.
The ruling class is winning the class war, and as long as they can keep the working class fighting the race ware instead, nothing will change.
These protests are being milked for every last drop by the liberal media, in cooperation with liberal activist NGOs on behalf of the Democratic party.
If you don’t comprehend that the protests were a result of the historically unprecedented economic collapse, you don’t have a politically left bone in your body.
>From the patents it looks like I can thank inventors Mr. Krause and Mr. Chernov for their freedom sucking, major appliance disabling, communist, 1984-esque idea.
GE is, historically, among the most anti-communist of all American companies. Its role in breaking and/or corrupting major unions and collective bargaining rights in the post-war era had few equivalents. GE, as well as the US patent system, exists in absolute service of the capitalist system.
I’m not sure if node has something comparable, but python’s splinter feels like the perfect trade-off for me. I don’t like browser tests and splinter lets me spend as little time as possible small tests that I don’t mind deleting later.
Labor rights have a very long history worth learning about. The short of it is that profit from labor is definitional exploitation; the question is how much exploitation we consider economically useful.
I have been using scoop for about 1.5 years and it’s wonderful. I contribute to it as well. It’s simple, robust, reliable. I might prefer it over what you’re suggesting for Windows. I just can’t imagine Microsoft getting that right.
Or just keep the regular scrolling and have the second (and third, fourth, etc. if they fit) begin on the next line that would be off-screen in the previous column. This would be a great browser plugin that could be flipped on or off.
Most westerners, and certainly visitors to this site, have spent at least the past 30 years in the assumption that neoliberal capitalism marks, as Fukiyama spouted in 1989 as the wall came down, “the end of history”. It’s becoming difficult to recite why this claim was taken for truth but there was a reason it felt that way.
It’s more than just admitting we are wrong. We also have to find a way out, and there isn’t one unless we all do it together.
You’re exactly right that we urgently need to move beyond the blame and recognize it’s up to all of us to get out of this mess.
Historical trajectories point to 2 possibilities for the United States: denialism followed by Fascism, or a miracle followed by socialism (of some degree). The miracle is a shortcut through the contradiction Upton Sinclair articulates: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
