I'm pretty sure for $1000 a month you could have co-op hosted servers with the best bandwidth or even completely hosted servers. He is bullshitting hard. $17 a month gets you BASIC managed hosting from Rackspace. So imagine $1000 a month... Selaty has to be making bank off this. But Free Market, right?

Are they trying to say Michelle is paying her stylist $780,000 a year? I bet the tax payers are footing that bill!

Basically people being so ignorant, they don't even understand the topic well enough to know they're missing information, and then refusing to learn more about it to lessen their ignorance. If you want a fancy two dollar word, a professor at Portland State University named Peter Boghossian called this kind of thing "Doxastic Closure" but basically what it is is a fancy way to say "closed mindedness" as other people described earlier. No need to invent phrases or words when we've had perfectly good layman terminology for forever.

To go along with this, Tea Partiers worhship scripture and the Constitution, yet know little about both. Pew did some research on how much people know about religion and found that Agnostics/Atheists knew more on average (http://www.pewforum.org/u-s-religious-knowledge-survey-who-knows-what-about-religion.aspx). I imagine you could also look into how little these people know about Constitution law.

Those same Christians frequently target and attack muslim organizations when they try to do even the simplest of means to express their religion to boot. These are the kinds of Christians for whom the establishment clause only exists to protect the freedom of THEIR religion, not anyone else's or lack thereof. Yes, I'm talking about the "America is a Christian nation" brand of fundamentalist revisionist-history fuckwits. More on that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGAvwSp86hY While we're at it; gently caress people for whom 'freedom' means 'only my freedom, not yours.' The TPC site is a perfect example of that - they call it a site for 'free speech' - but in practice they only care about making a space 'free' for speech of very narrow ultra right wing conservatives whom they agree with completely. This also goes to the 'states rights' assholes as well, who invoke this dogwhistle whenever they're stomping on the rights of minorities as protected by the federal government.

The fact that different races are considered separate entities is racist in subjective contexts. Jobs should be given based on an individuals qualifications and not their minority status. Race should only ever be considered statistically, not subjectively. That would be great, and when the USA becomes a post-racial society, I would agree with this 100% but unfortunately, there is a still a real problem with Racial Minorities having less employability than White Americans. See this study on the subject quote:The results indicate large racial differences in callback rates to a phone line with a voice mailbox attached and a message recorded by someone of the appropriate race and gender. Job applicants with white names needed to send about 10 resumes to get one callback; those with African-American names needed to send around 15 resumes to get one callback. This would suggest either employer prejudice or employer perception that race signals lower productivity.

They want freedom to do what they want, but they do want other people to have freedom from coercion, In case anyone is confused why this is the case that so many people could have twisted 'oppressing minorities' into 'freedom' and 'federal law protecting minorities' into 'tyranny', here's something that may give you a clue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAZFeyJ56D8 A lot of hooping and hollering about 'southern rights' but no mention of course, of the rights of African slaves. (Because they are sub-human to the confederacy.) Here's a counterpoint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dobTb5a2Ggo Anyway, my point is when you hear these people talk of 'freedom' they are really talking about the 'southern rights' version of freedom - that is, freedom for themselves, but no one else's freedom counts. Because in their view, if you don't align with someone's ethnic/sexuality/religious/political views, you don't count as a full human being deserving of having your rights protected. You might be a commie or a gay or a black man or an atheist or a quaker or whatever they decide not to like and scapegoat as their vicious whims demand.

I've always seen it as perceived conflict between positive and negative rights. Conservatives can't be bothered to consider that they support a system that oppresses other people and can't be bothered to stop doing so.

All of this stems from wealthy businessmen who got fat off the exploitation of cheap labor through slavery, and used racism to keep the whites and the blacks they exploited fighting against one another. Racism as we know it in the US started off as a trick to con the oppressed into oppressing themselves. It's the same thing with the demonization of socialism. Socialism is an ideal political weapon to use in the fight against plutocratic tyranny. So of course, every aspect of socialism has been thoroughly demonized by the same kinds of wealthy assholes who came up with the 'hey lets get rid of indentured servitude for the whites but keep slavery for the blacks' idea. It's also why you get republicans trying to get 47% pitted against the rest and back and forth, when occupy wall street is trying to unite everyone to go after the greedy rapaciousness of the top 1%. A lot of the tea party members should really be in the occupy movement - but they've been thoroughly brainwashed by a brand name that's appealed wrongly to their basest feelings. The tea party, an astroturf organization deliberately designed to divide and drive people apart, is a perfect example of this mentality - it is unsurprising that one will keep finding people with the hosed up 'southern' version of 'freedom' aka 'freedom to oppress minorities.' They want the 'freedom' to stick their boot in the face of the other person who's getting ratfucked by the top 1% just like they are. It's a carrot-on-a-string routine to keep the lower classes infighting rather than going after the real enemy.

/\ The problem is also that Americans have a universal knowledge that Socialist is "bad" but are universally ignorant of what socialism is. So if you don't like something, just call it socialist and everyone will jump on board. You don't have to examine anything, be self-actualized, think critically, or examine your world view. Nope, just call it socialism and you can remove any room for debate.Utz posted:For those wondering about the server costs: I run a popular website with way more traffic than TPC and my dedicated server costs comfortably under $1k/month.
