quote: I don’t know how the algorithm works or what data it takes into account but your search was quite vague (Iran is a big subject). That’s why you got the Al Jazeera story which did have Conservatives in the title And really, you could look further down the list.
quote: I’m talking about people being hound off twitter for appearing in a movie that some on the far Right objected to (The Last Jedi) for just one example. There are many, many more.
quote: It’s the industrialists who exported jobs, because Third World countries are cheaper to operate in. To replicate those conditions you would have to turn America into a Third World country. You say that you need coal - so you want government intervention to prop us an uneconomic industry. That is precisely the sort of thing I mean. Conservatives used to oppose that - that is why British Conservatives presided over a great loss of manufacturing capacity in the ‘80s. And really, why is investigating private companies for commercial decisions a good thing? To make them do what the President wants? That IS regimentation of industry. And really do you think that turning America into a polluted hellhole is a good idea?
quote: Funny how telling the truth is Marxist.

quote: Well you did if you looked further down. But you didn’t try a more specific search, did you? Replacing Iran’ with Soleimani dies far better in finding relevant results - and Democrat reactions are far less prominent. Searching on Conservative channels would probably do better shrill.

quote: I said nothing about wording that does not include conservative. I suggested replacing Iran with a more specific term, or searching on channels that will likely have the content you want.
quote: The truth you made up and don’t have any real evidence for?

quote: It describes today’s Right much better. But that’s your usual m.o.
quote: Funny how Marc’s attempts to show that ended up with him revealing his own contempt for liberal democracy. And then we have the gerrymandering, voter suppression attempts and electoral fraud from the Republicans.
quote: And that pack of lies demonstrates plenty of contempt for Parliamentary democracy. Thanks for providing the proof.
quote: There’s plenty of anti-semitism on the Right including the Charlottesville marchers. And I don’t see much opposition to punishing the murderers in the recent cases.
quote: Eugenics was generally accepted by both sides back then. But now scientific racism is more from the Right. The Bell Curve being a prominent example. And the claim about Planned Parenthood is a vile smear, but then that is your standard m.o. too. And of course the Left isn’t communist. Even the more left wing voices in the Democratic Party aren’t communists.
quote: Of course it fits the Right better even at that level, but you leave out things like the Nationalism - which is very prominent among Trump supporters. Face it Faith. You’re the Fascist. Edited by PaulK, : No reason given.

quote: So? What makes you think you have better evidence than he did?
quote: No you weren’t - you were talking about scientific racism which these days is a predominantly right-wing view - and your lies about Planned Parenthood’s past don’t change that.
quote: Nationalism is a feature of fascism. (And nations aren’t natural to human beings, so nationalism can’t be either)
quote: You try to pretend that fascism is on the left as part of your usual inversion of reality.

quote: And there goes the usual lie. I don’t know why you keep doing it, it’s just so obvious.
quote: Modern conservatism - at least the Trump brand is all for a corrupt dictatorship. Hence the attempts to increase the power of the Executive (as long as a Republican is in charge), and to neutralise the threat of impeachment as well as all the attempts to rig the electoral system in their favour. To be honest - with all the lying and hate and religion - I’d say that the aim of too many conservatives is the rule of the Antichrist.

quote: Right now he’s proposing a massive expansion of the President’s immunity to prosecution. I don’t know how you missed that. Or how you missed him putting his personal interests ahead of the nation’s in the Ukraine.

quote: Well I’m glad that you admit your own contempt for democracy. Though I don’t think many people want to go back to a situation where only 6% of the population can vote.

BBC
Western forces in the region have settled into a defensive mode, in fear of retaliation from Iran. The Iranian-backed Shia militias are likely to take a more anti-American stance, reducing their activity against the Sunni ISIS.

quote: The reasons are, of course, your political bias and a fear of personal inconvenience. The scientific effort - including much serious work - is exactly how the problem should be identified and understood. It’s the objections that are more problematic. And how should a serious problem that requires global political action be discussed differently and what different actions shou,d be taken to deal with it? How would you propose to deal with the increasing CO2 in the atmosphere? How would you get agreement from China or India - or the rest of the world? How will you take account of the fact that the longer it is left the worse things will get? It is all very well to say that things should be done differently but proposing a different course of action that would actually be better is far from easy.

quote: When Republicans are getting upset about freedom of the press, calling for political opponents to be jailed on dubious grounds and flirting with White Supremacists that’s a pretty hard case to make.
quote: Given the massive criticism faced by Obama - some of it outright insane - this seems hypocritical to say the least. Of course it is just your standard hypocrisy. In your civilised society you and your tribe get to say what you like but all criticism of you must be forbidden. That isn’t liberal - or civilised - at all.
quote: The courts agree that reasonable questions have been made, and certainly some have found that he did overstep the bounds.
quote: You know, you may think it is clever to pretend that your enemies are like you but it really gets boring.

quote: I other words you are upset about the freedom of the press. You don’t like the fact that the press is reporting truths you want suppressed and that’s why you keep lying about it.
quote: In other words you do want them jailed on false charges to protect your corrupt leader. Who got caught. Again.
quote: And another fact. Aside from Bannon, and all the racism Trump has a hand in you’ve got Steve King in Congress. I don’t know why you waste your time with all this lying. It’s just so transparent.

quote: In other words you don’t care about the outcome - you just don’t want anything to inconvenience you. If it means that too little is done, too late then you don’t care.
quote: The civil war started because the slave states wouldn’t let go of slavery. Not because of a crusade to eliminate it.
quote: Then I guess you had better vote Democrat. The Republican policy has been to increase the debt. As Trump has done.

quote: I hardly think that happens much here. Every so often someone attempts to help Faith but she never accepts it.
quote: Not really. You’ll see a number of reactions when Faith posts something outrageously ignorant or bigoted but you certainly don’t see gangs making fun of her. Which would be very easy to do and very tempting given her arrogance. But I guess playing the persecution card is so much easier than admitting that you and Faith have a habit of being ridiculously wrong.
quote: It is funny how someone with a history of dishonesty would reach so far to try to accuse others of the same.
