athiests are the social justice left!

because the left is completely taken over with communisim

and comminists hate religion.

also name me ONE atheist that doesnt hate trump. one.

A lot of well known atheists are anti-social justice too.

[mickmoranis]

A lot of well known atheists are anti-social justice too.

do they vote for democrats or bernie sanders? Then guess what, theyre social justice warriors that provide a vote for a candidate that is a social justice warrior, and then they are ignored and provide nothing that anyone listens to or maters.

The thing is the democrat party has been taken over by wolfs in sheeps clothing. What little brains are left voting for those people THINK that they are voting in their interests, but they are not, theyre just voting for the party that says they're looking out for their interests.

There will never be free healthcare, unless the GOP wants it. The left didnt do anything to fix education in 8 years, the left increased military spending more than any GOP candidate in our lifetimes, the left tries to reduce our rights and are looking to change the very fucking constitution to strengthen their control

its a joke man, anyone who thinks they are in control of anything, and have the ability to think differently, but votes fora democrat, is completely fucking lost.

God help you all!

I don't hate religion, or trump. That would bring me down to your level. I do think it's foolish that someone who thinks they have all of the right answers (because loud on forums) worships a book made up by men to herd the sheep. Seems to be working well even 2700 years later. Thanks for the entertainment.

I am atheist, and trump will be the greatest president in the history of our country.

I do believe people have a right to believe what they wish as long as they don't push their beliefs on others.

so long as my religion will allow me to allow you to send yourself into eternal damnation then its cool, honestly I think gods ok with it.

I do however believe that Trump has done far more good for me personally than any other president in my lifetime and I absolutely love how he got mainstream media to spiral down the toilet while they point fingers.

Ok here is how it works.

Time is a spiral.

When you were a kid you told your parents, "you just dont get it" and they didnt.

They told their parents, "you dont get it!"

and on and on.

Now you're an adult and you're like, I DONT GET IT!

and madonna well shit, shes a grandparent, she hasnt got it in like 30 decades.

Here's the reality. Nothing changes, it just rotates, everything is the same, yesterdays music was shit, todays music is shit, yesterdays kids were assholes, todays kids are assholes.

I cant attest for pre-1900's life, as kids were farmers back then, but since kids were able to stop working, nothings changed, it's just been re-skinned to the point that it looks confusing.

Monsanto Ordered To Pay Former Groundskeeper Nearly $290 Million In Damages (https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/08/10/monsanto-roundup-former-groundskeepers-cancer-290million/)

A San Francisco jury Friday ruled in favor of a former Benicia Unified School District groundskeeper who claimed the chemical glyphosate – contained in the popular herbicide “Roundup” – caused his cancer.

...

This jury found Monsanto acted with malice and oppression because they knew what they were doing was wrong and doing it with reckless disregard for human life,” said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a member of Johnson’s legal team. “This should send a strong message to the boardroom of Monsanto.

Suffice it to say, I think there’s a point where death is the only humane solution and dragging out endless suffering is cruel beyond comprehension. Suicide is not a solution I’m in favor of anyone choosing, but I respect anyone’s rational choice to do so. This isn’t the case in situations like depression and those suicides stemming from depression, the vast majority I’d imagine, are always tragic because they could be prevented. That’s the population I want to work with to help stop it.

good article on Alex Jones and the rise of corporate censorship (http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/alex-jones-and-the-rise-of-corporate-censorship/21658#.W2860BYpDDs)

In essence, so-called liberals and sections of the political class now want corporations to do their dirty work for them. They want the capitalist elites to do what it has become somewhat unfashionable for the state to do: ban controversial political speech. What an extraordinary folly this is. To empower global capitalism to act as judge, jury and executioner on what may be said on social-media platforms, in the new public square, is to sign the death warrant of freedom of speech. What if these bosses decide next that Marxist speech is unacceptable? Or that Zionist speech is dangerous? In green-lighting the censorship of Jones, we grant corporate suits the moral authority to censor pretty much anything else, too.

People on both the liberal left and the libertarian right argue that what has been done to Jones is acceptable because this is simply a case of businesses deciding freely who they should associate with or provide platforms to. This is disingenuous. This was not a clean, independent business decision – it was a rash act of silencing carried out under pressure from a moralised mob that insisted Jones’ words are too wicked for public life. This isn’t the free market in action – it’s the bending of capitalist power to the end of enforcing moral controls on speech. There is one very interesting thing that will spring from this incident: we will witness the severe limitations of right-wing libertarianism. Libertarians’ obsession with the state, their belief that things are only bad if the state does them, means they are incapable of arguing against capitalist authoritarianism, and in fact even support it on the basis that this is the free market being the free market (even though it isn’t). Libertarianism is devastatingly ill-prepared for the new authoritarianism, for tackling the rise of outsourced censorship and informal intolerance.

The problem is only lawyers seem to have any understanding of the importance of precedent. There is a precedent now that offensive language or political ideas outside the mainstream can be banned from social media.

Social media is the modern public square...It is not the same as providing a platform for a hosted talk. When over half the country gets their news from social media -- its censorship is more relevant than just any privately-owned business.

We just got out of the stranglehold of information that existed since the dawn of T.V. -- and now we are letting a new wave of gatekeepers take their place.

Get off your high horse. That precedent has been a practice for over a century. The press, media, or whatever label you wish to apply has cooperated or not with government entities based on what they perceive to be in their best interest. FDR asked the Holocaust to be suppressed in order to stymie entry into WW2, the US wasn't ready early on. Spanish-American War was propagated by Hurst because we needed oil, Carribean, and Pacific territory (The Phillipines). Learn some fucking history, ya moran. Corporate censorship is nothing new. Hell, Little Richard wasn't the voice on his early recordings because you couldn't have a black man riling up white kids to move their hips in suggestive ways. Again, learn some history. You're dumber than Mick with this bullshit.

You seem to be rather unaware that the when people started going to the internet for their news -- these gate keepers were ineffectual at controlling the information people were exposed to (compared with the previous newspaper and TV eras your talking about). This development coincides very well with things like Trump, Sanders, War weariness, and the Tea Party.

As you pointed out -- there is a long history of media companies being shills for the government and their corporate donors. It has gotten better with the internet -- but that is before a handful of corporations decided to attempt to monopolize the internet.

There is 1 of 2 things going on here.

1) People think it was great when a handful of guys controlled the national news and want it to return that way.

2) People are too fuckin stupid to look past Alex Jones personally and look at the precedent being set.

It's definitely number 2.

Corporate censorship is not new, what you have people asking is TODAY, do we as a society want them to STOP doing it?

Like, in the past you had barrier of entry to get on the TV, now anyone can (because the internet is now the TV) and we're seeing more rampant examples of corporate censorship, because there are moe people with access to post on "television" from their bedrooms.

We are also changing the conversation today, vs in the 1960s, because now corporate censorship is hitting something that up until the last 10 years, has been a FREE place where there WAS no censorship, beyond people getting arrested if they posted kid porn on the internet.

But yea, its the fact that this area WAS free of corporate censorship, and now the corporations have taken it over and the censorship hits people more directly.

NOW

nobody who has half a brain and says, "its wrong that alex jones was shut down off youtube" is saying that the 1st amendment should protect him from that! or that it does in any way shape or form.

WHAT they are saying is, SHOULD we be OK with corperations doing this?

SHOULD we want corperations to make decisions about what is in our best interest? DO we want to tell them to STOP?

We have seen the decline in the press, we have seen the decline in the news paper, we have seen the decline in access to geninuine news, and we have seen an increase in free news.

The results, bother people sure, but the problem is, the media DUMBED itself down, to compete with the free media... and now because they couldnt compete, they are SHUTTING the free media down, so they can have control of it again.

ITS PERFECTLY acceptable to ask society, DO WE WANT people to be silenced because we disagree with them?

DO WE WANT society as a whole, philosophicallyl TO SHUT DOWN the speech of people we disagree with?

THERE IS NOTHING constitutionally that protects you from a private person shutting down your speech on their private platform. HOWEVER its perfectly acceptable for us to ask society, philisophically, ARE WE FAILING to protect our OWN rights to free speech?

When someone says, the first amendment! when theyre talking about this shit, theyre saying "IF OUR GOD DAMN COUNTRY wanted the right to free speech, shouldnt WE AS INDIVIDUALS support it in our day to day life, instead of fight against it?!"

its a simple philisophical question, that you should ask yourself.

ANd if you think that they SHOULD be shut down...

WELL.. then you have to accept that innocent people are going to get shut down with them hence INCEST-PEDOgate.. So far James Gunn lost his job because of society not accepting speech from people they dont like, it just turns out in this case it was comedy.

We as a society should believe people can improve. The concept of rehabilitation seems lost on this young zealous generation..

That being said some censorship is okay. I don't agree with disfactual information being acceptable. Example, anti-vaccers. There will always be paranoid/schizoid types who takes this stuff to heart and it doesn't end well.

On the other hand, it's not bad that people are standing up to corporations. 1960s vs today isn't that comparable. Most corps then had Americas sole interest at mind. Now they're all globalized and take a far larger share off the top for themselves.

301 ‘Predator Priests’ Named In Pa. Grand Jury Sex Abuse Report: ‘They Were Raping Little Boys & Girls’
(https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2018/08/14/pennsylvania-diocese-sex-abuse-grand-jury-report-released/)
“One boy was forced to stand on a bed in a rectory, strip naked and pose as Christ on the cross for the priests. They took photos of their victim, adding them to a collection of child pornography which they produced and shared on church grounds,” Shapiro said.

Shapiro said the priests would mark their victims by giving them gifts.

“To make it easier to target their victims, the priests gave their favored boys gifts – gold crosses to wear as necklaces. The crosses were markings of which boys had been groomed for abuse,” Shapiro said.

But I'm sure it was just a handful of bad apples in an otherwise great and moral institution.

One thing is for sure, we need more religion in modern society to keep us all on the right track and uphold our values. All this anti-sexual liberal stuff is ruining society that was working fine without it.

The logic of God's existence in reality.

1. God is Omnipotent - (all powerful)
2. God is Omniscient - (knows everything past, present, and future)
3. Suffering exists

Assuming the above are true, God, knowing that suffering will occur, has it within his/her/their power to stop it, does not prevent suffering, but allows it to happen.

Anyone who has it within their power to prevent suffering, knows that it will occur and does nothing about it is either:

a. lazy
b. an a$$hole (evil)
c. Doesn't actually have the foreknowledge or omnipotent power of which they claim.

Elizabeth Warren is the first to propose a high-profile long term solution to escalating counter-productive wealth inequality.

How to Cure Corporate America’s Selfishness (https://newrepublic.com/article/150695/cure-corporate-americas-selfishness)

Corporations have always been “creatures of the State,” as Teddy Roosevelt once called them. But they have become a kind of Frankenstein’s monster, unmoored from their creators to wreak havoc on the countryside. Corporations no longer consider the broad public interest in making decisions, nor do they worry that the state will ever revoke their license to operate. They only consider the desires of their shareholders, which has led to record corporate profits, stagnant wages, soaring inequality, and a shrinking middle class.

On Wednesday, Senator Elizabeth Warren proposed a counterweight to this relatively recent phenomenon in American business. Her bill, the Accountable Capitalism Act, revolves around a simple idea: The government would grant corporations the right to exist through a public charter, and could use that power to put obligations on corporations to benefit the broader public rather than a small handful of shareholders.

...

There’s proven evidence that this model of corporate governance can work. “Co-determination,” the term for worker representation on corporate boards, has created a form of capitalism in Germany where workers are far more equitably compensated and decisions are made with an eye toward long-term goals.

But you don’t have to look overseas. America in the 1950s and 1960s followed a model where executives and directors had a broader view of corporate responsibility. Because of structural racism and sexism, not everyone shared in its benefits. But combining a more egalitarian society with a more egalitarian corporate governance would reduce the dissonance between a more socially equal society and a more economically divided one.

Corporate governance is the most underrated element of the modern capitalist economy. Essentially modern corporate structure is the reason America has far more wealth inequality in Europe. Shareholders and capital are completely unbound by responsibility to anything but their bottom line in the U.S..

Even that becomes unenforceable much of the time because the CEO is often the largest shareholder (or leads a constituency that is). So if there is anyway the CEO can enrich themselves at the cost of the company's bottom line, they usually get away with that. In these situations there is literally nothing but their personal wealth considerations.

Time to replace that with a "we're all in it together" approach. Which is clearly shown to work better than the neoliberal arrangement. If you want workers to give a shit about the corporations they work for, you better give them a steak in them. And if you don't want management running business into the ground for their own enrichment, you better not incentivize them to do so.

Warren is so out of touch she thought it would be wiser to be a socialist cuck (that is less than the shadow of bernie sanders) and NOT support sanders in the 2016 primary.

The thing is with socialism, you have to not pick sides. She picks sides. That means she's an authoritarian. Not a socialist.

You understand there are ways of getting capital/money without adding to production right?

The entire profession of corporate law is essentially warfare with oral arguments and written word instead of weapons. Its mostly a numbers game where each side hires an army and fights for something like a patent.

And patent is simply a legal invention that limits what people could naturally do. You see what someone is doing and do it for cheaper etc...We came up with patents to preserve the right of wealthy people to buy property and sit on their ass while the productive people in the enterprise are actually creating the wealth.

The people creating the wealth in a mining operation -- are the people mining the god damn ore. Not the people who have a government say they own it and have a right to the profits by virtue of being the owner.

And the guy buying the ore at x and selling it at y is not making the operation any more productive either. In yet, just about every wealthy person in existence makes far more money this way than any actual production they do.

There are only so many ways to increase production -- but there are unlimited ways to swindle your neighbor. IDK how long you thought this con job would continue with less than half the population on the take.

Catholic League “Debunks” Pennsylvania Molestation Scandal: It’s Not Rape When The Child Isn’t Penetrated
August 16, 2018

Catholic League president Bill Donohue today posted a lengthy “debunking” of media reports about the still-unfolding and massive molestation scandal wracking the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania.

Donohue’s missive includes his usual charges of anti-Catholic bigotry and personal attacks on “salacious” Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro.

There’s also this:

Shapiro said that “Church officials routinely and purposely described the abuse as horseplay and wrestling and inappropriate contact. It was none of those things.” He said it was “rape.”

Similarly, the New York Times quoted from the report saying that Church officials used such terms as “horseplay” and “inappropriate contact” as part of their “playbook for concealing the truth.”

Fact: This is an obscene lie. Most of the alleged victims were not raped: they were groped or otherwise abused, but not penetrated, which is what the word “rape” means. This is not a defense — it is meant to set the record straight and debunk the worst case scenarios attributed to the offenders.

Furthermore, Church officials were not following a “playbook” for using terms such as “inappropriate contact” — they were following the lexicon established by the John Jay professors.

Donohue goes on to denounce the media for using the term “pedophilia” to describe the incidents when, Donohue claims, most of the victims were “postpubescent.”

And, as he always does, Donohue rants that the media is providing cover for the LGBT movement by not describing the assailants as “gay priests” and by sensationalizing the “minority” of cases involving preteen girls.

[ScaringChildren]

are you trying to argue that it’s not rape when a child isn’t penetrated, Wonkie?

We have been pitching this group economic populism for decades. They have responded by shelving their economic interests, voting against blacks, immigrants and for the economic status quo.

One guy says "Mexico is going to pay for a wall" and they trip all over themselves to vote for Mr. Trustfunded NY landowner. If Mitt Romney just has it together enough to ignore political elites and hate Mexicans -- he would gotten the vote.

The only light I see is that not as many Democrats fall for the reverse of this. "Let's just shelve our economic issues and work on race stuff" doesn't play as well.

if the corporation is going to act in the best interest of the shareholder, then the employees need to be shareholders to even the playing field.

anything else is simply unfair. its not about socialism so much as common sense.


PROBLEM -

- Corp serves shareholder interests.

- Shareholder interests damage the livelihoods of employees. This is not disputable.

SOLUTION - Make employee shareholder.


Employee now directly benefits from all "cost-cutting" decisions the CEO makes. Problem solved. Corporate greed checked without needing to level taxes against the corporation in order to pay out hidden social costs/healthcare/Medicaid.

This shopping-mall state has gotten too big for its britches-- and the average shopper doesn't have enough money to spend.

If your country is a glorified shopping-mall according to its policies on border and citizenship, well then, they need to be able to participate in the shopping-mall state in order to be a true American citizen and live out its full fledged rights in the pursuit of happiness.

No matter what system you live under, you will still need to fix yourself.

You never take responsibility, you only blame others around you for your problems.

Again, the same attitude will flare up when only party members are allowed to own and drive cars in your utopia.

You thrive on inequality. It gives you purpose.

And you are greedy, which is why you advocate for a society that tears others down just so you don't feel as bad about being a loser.

It's all about you. Some "Collectivist"...

We call this ad ad hominem. We've been doing that with these kinds of shitty arguments for several thousand years now. The term was invented by Aristotle. He also claimed that if there wasn't a sufficient welfare state (like the one in this country after WW2) the government would collapse into a dictatorship.

just note that it's dumb to think that putting all the economic power into a communist american state would work. it would be even more corrupt than our current system, which has a semblance of checks, balances, and public visibility.

It's not an ad hominem.

It's the truth. A truth you can't refute.

What are you going to do when your neighbor gets paid the same as you, while he tests ice cream for a job and you shovel shit?

Are you going to blissfully sigh and think, "Man, what a beautiful and equal society."?

[Topgunben]

Its no longer a choice. 21,000 in missing USD on every corporate salary is a serious problem.

These are middle-managers at Fortune 500 companies. They are missing money. 1999 is the statistic you need to be familiar with to have any clue as to what you are talking about.

TopgunbenX (Generation X) aka irrelevant, dated, and out of touch.

People were rehired after 2008 for LESS money at Fortune 500 companies. Its only DECLINED in the face of 4.1 GDP growth. Why?

We went through rough times this past 8 years, and aren't likely to see a recession like this again in our lifetimes. There may be troughs along the way, but nothing like 2008.

I don't like the idea of corporate welfare anymore then the next guy. I don't blame Zucky for that though. I blame our government that has been in the business of picking winners and losers for the past 70 years.

An example would be, why don't we just go to a flat income tax? Say 10%. How simple would it be to own and operate a business instead of the horseshit we have to deal with today? Unfortunately Trump hasn't done anything to drain the Tax swamp. He is one of them on this one.

[Ahldagor]

Mandatory stock options can't come fast enough.

if the corporation is going to act in the best interest of the shareholder, then the employees need to be shareholders to even the playing field.

anything else is simply unfair. its not about socialism so much as common sense.


PROBLEM -

- Corp serves shareholder interests.

- Shareholder interests damage the livelihoods of employees. This is not disputable.

SOLUTION - Make employee shareholder.


Employee now directly benefits from all "cost-cutting" decisions the CEO makes. Problem solved. Corporate greed checked without needing to level taxes against the corporation in order to pay out hidden social costs/healthcare/Medicaid.

Its a capitalist solution.

The trouble is that this makes too much sense, Azzar. I agree with you tho'. Allow your workers to benefit and build retirements then they will work for themselves while benefitting the corporate entity. Now to sell it as a trickle down is a different matter that's more difficult than implementation of the practice.

[Bainers]

Theres no reason to have this discussion its asinine and has been had for literally thousands of years.

For example, he gets all kinds of shit for disagreeing with Islam.

Literally sound the same.

I was a Guiliani guy maybe a few years ago. He's just really showing the ugly side of his New York City personality now. He seems to be struggling with context and appropriateness a lot lately, both signs of potential mental faculties giving way.

He still "makes sense" its just that some stuff seems over his head now. Like he cant perceive himself anymore and how he sounds...

It could be the New York thing bleeding through or maybe he really is in the early stages of dementia.

I don't know how he got so out of touch. Still waiting for a good article to do a deeper analysis on it.

He rode the 9/11 train to the bank, and can't think of another thing to do politically, my guess. The NBC guy called it on the meme factor tho'. I get trying to sow some mistrust for what Trump may have to do (he's not going to give testimony to Mueller), but your dementia angle might be a thing; or his ego is screeching in the back of his head to save his ass and reputation while he tries to save a party face. Manafort's proly going to prison for the rest of his life, and this could just be a distraction run. I'm gonna be a damn near dead lush by November at this rate of hilarity tho'. More beers.

Manafort may actually get off. At least most of the charges.

If the evidence was overwhelming, the jury wouldn't be in deliberation for so long. They even needed a fresh definition of 'reasonable doubt'.

Yikes.

I think Manafort is guilty of something but it looks like the prosecution didn't build a strong case.

The country is going to lose its shit if they come back with a not guilty.

Seems like another case of the fervent accuser trying to hide their truth.

[LulzSect©]

But in the months that followed her revelations about Mr. Weinstein last October, Ms. Argento quietly arranged to pay $380,000 to her own accuser: Jimmy Bennett, a young actor and rock musician who said she had sexually assaulted him in a California hotel room years earlier, when he was only two months past his 17th birthday. She was 37. The age of consent in California is 18.
