Democrats Looking To Ramp Up The Fascism

[Spurtacular]

I certainly am missing the point. Can you be more clear in what you mean?

It is in the sense that they can use their time for self-publicity as they please? I mean, that's available to all sides of the equation. I don't see how that is inherently a liberal-only advantage, if that's what you mean.

I think that's a whole other can of worms as to why over time the media skewed very liberal. The fact is that they did though.

[Spurtacular]

Actually, those were loosened by the current FCC chairman, a Republican. Talk about self-inflicted wounds.

FCC Relaxes Media Ownership Rules in Contentious Vote
November 16, 2017 10:50AM PT

WASHINGTON — Broadcasters will be allowed to combine with a newspaper in the same market, and could be allowed to own two of the top four stations in a city, as the FCC on Thursday relaxed a series of long-standing media ownership regulations.

The new rules, passed in a 3-2 vote, may be challenged in court, but if they survive, they will mark the most significant changes to media ownership regulations in a generation. They could lead to further consolidation and mergers among broadcasters, who have long argued that they need greater scale to compete with cable and internet companies for local ad dollars.

“The media ownership regulations of 2017 should match the media marketplace of 2017,” FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said. He said the agency was “dragging the broadcast rules into the digital age.” Pai added that the changes are needed, given current consumer habits, as people get their news not just from local stations, but from websites, podcasts, and social media.

The changes are taking place just as the FCC is considering whether to allow Sinclair Broadcast Group to merge with Tribune Media, creating a station group powerhouse with control over 233 stations and a reach of 72% of the country.

there was something in between that disrupted the trend. do you know what it was?

I wasn't arguing against the veracity of the actions of the person in question. I was jeering at your characterization of it all coming down to that one person and time.

You built the argument that media consolidation is one of the root causes of media being liberal. I don't think media is necessarily liberal (there's plenty of options out there for the conservative connoisseur).

But, in arguendo, let's pretend that it is. There's a lot of blame to go around and that includes Republicans/conservatives, which are indeed instrumental into allowing such media consolidation.

I mean, after all, Republican administrations are on track to be in power more than Democrat administrations for the past 30+ years (fairly even, actually). So I don't think this arrangement is working out too bad for non-liberals.

[Winehole23]

The No's?

[ElNono]

Yea, there's been no media consolidation before recently. :lmao

Well, it did prevent it past a certain limit on any given market. That was the point of the regulation: disallow a single voice to take over an entire region.

That actually loosened the grip on on information from captive audiences, and it's a good thing, IMO.

I just don't know anything is 'more liberal'... isn't Fox News the #1 ranked news network? How could that be?

Define 'overwhelmingly liberal'? Don't talk about religion? Support the gays? I mean, quantify it for me.

I do have to say that social conservatism has been in serious decline for the past couple decades, so, in my opinion, the 'normal' is obviously not what it was 30 years ago.

But I don't particularly think that's heavily tilted to one side or another, if we're arguing availability of viewpoints.

And "matter of opinion" is not hacky at all, tbh... Like, a good question would be: where do you get your news? There's plenty of outlets out there catering from the extremely conservative to the fruity liberal. They all report more or less the same news with very different viewpoints.

USA is a Western nation so naturally the institutions lean Left. Going deeper, this nation is steadily more leftist year after year for the past 50+ years. And lastly, thriving shows (such as 'Last Man Standing') are pulled for conservative statements.

A nation riding the fence would be Poland. And they don't highlight homosexuality, drug use or interracial dating on media.

[Winehole23]

the US is not more leftist than it was in 1948.

just look at the Democratic Party platform from that year: looks a lot like the DSA, tbh

also, we had actual commies in the USG.

[Winehole23]

Highlighting, if it brings about conversation about those topics, is actually much more healthy than keeping the subjects taboo. It's not like any of those cease to exist if you don't talk about them, and it's a big reason why social conservatism is in extinction.

I don't particularly think having that conversation makes anything more or less liberal. Conservatives are actually pretty outspoken about them too (ie: your post). I think that's actually part of the misconception.

I mean, except for the clear cut cases, who or what is considered 'radical' changes depending who you ask, tbh... some people think evangelicals are radicals, some other people think every islamic person is radical... some religious folks think atheists are radicals...

What exactly falls within the 'normal' is very debatable, although it's worth recognizing that there's a big gray area in the middle. It's also clear that middle area moves as we evolve as society. Sometimes because of a fade, sometimes because we now better now and we're just leaving behind things that no longer make sense.

[Winehole23]

the terms left and right are not analytically precise; neither are liberal and conservative, absent lengthy qualification.

maybe growing up in a two party system lends the distinctions credibility.

since there are only two parties that matter electorally, all political striving is presumptively a contest between red and blue.

[Winehole23]

in the scenario of oligarchy the division gets blurred. left and right unite with corporate power to make serfs of the people and extract the surplus value of the nation-state.

The largest social network, under intense pressure to combat propaganda, said it would work abroad with the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute, created in the 1980s and funded by the U.S. government to promote democratic processes. The institutes have informal ties to their namesake U.S. parties.

The partnerships, disclosed by company executives on a call with reporters, were among a slew of announcements from Facebook on election integrity ahead of major contests in Brazil next month and the United States in November.

A private company can generally do as they please and/or up to whatever collective bargaining agreement they agreed to (if one is in place).

Tim Berners-Lee on a new platform, Solid, that will give users a choice about where their personal data is stored.


In 2009, I said, “The web as I envisaged it we have not seen yet.” That was because people were using the web just for documents, not for the data of a big web-wide computer. Since then, we have seen a wave of open data, but not of read-write data. For example, much open government data is produced through a one-way pipeline, so we can only view it. With Solid, it becomes a read-write web where users can interact and innovate, collaborate and share.


Meanwhile though, there is a wave of concern, and related energy, desperate for change. People want to have a web they can trust. People want apps that help them do what they want and need to do — without spying on them. Apps that don’t have an ulterior motive of distracting them with propositions to buy this or that. People will pay for this kind of quality and assurance.

Let’s be sure to keep an eye on the

rampaging pervasive authoritarianism of this regime.

This week, Facebook revealed that Trump’s DOJ had issued it a very broad subpoena
“demanding the private account information of potentially thousands of Facebook users

in three separate search warrants served on the social media giant,” according to CNN (https://www.cnn.com/2017/09/28/politics/facebook-anti-administration-activists/index.html).

“The warrants

specifically target the accounts of three Facebook users

who are described by their attorneys as ‘anti-administration activists :lol

who have spoken out at organized events, :lol

and

who are generally very critical of this administration’s policies.’” :lol

Google tergiversates:


In a letter newly obtained (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5001428-Pichai-Response-to-Senators-Regarding-China.html) by The Intercept, Pichai told a bipartisan group of six senators that Google could have “broad benefits inside and outside of China,” but said he could not share details about the censored search engine because it “remains unclear” whether the company “would or could release a search service” in the country.


Pichai’s letter contradicts the company’s search engine chief, Ben Gomes, who informed (https://theintercept.com/2018/10/09/google-china-censored-search-engine/) staff during a private meeting that the company was aiming to release the platform in China between January and April 2019. Gomes told employees working on the Chinese search engine that they should get it ready to be “brought off the shelf and quickly deployed.”


According to sources and confidential Google documents, the search engine for China, codenamed Dragonfly, was designed to comply with the strict censorship regime imposed by China’s ruling Communist Party. It would restrict people’s access to broad categories of information, blacklisting phrases like “human rights,” “student protest,” and “Nobel Prize.”


The Chinese platform was designed to link people’s searches to their phone number (https://theintercept.com/2018/10/09/google-china-censored-search-engine/), track their location, and then share (https://theintercept.com/2018/09/21/google-suppresses-memo-revealing-plans-to-closely-track-search-users-in-china/)t (https://theintercept.com/2018/09/21/google-suppresses-memo-revealing-plans-to-closely-track-search-users-in-china/)hat data (https://theintercept.com/2018/09/21/google-suppresses-memo-revealing-plans-to-closely-track-search-users-in-china/) with a Chinese partner company. This would make it easy to track individual users’ searches, raising concerns that any person in China using Google to seek out information banned by the government could be at risk of interrogation or detention if security agencies were to obtain copies of their search records.

"if we had a plan we would be happy to discuss it"

Of course, should we have something to announce in the future, we would be more than happy to brief you and your staff on those plans.”

[Winehole23]

regulation could benefit monopoly digital platforms:


It will be difficult to limit the company’s power. Under what has been called “surveillance capitalism,” social media companies that provide free products always have an incentive to violate privacy. That is how Facebook makes money. Because Facebook profits by making more personal data available for use by third parties, its business model points in the direction of abuse. In the case of its 2011 FTC agreement, Facebook appears to have simply sloughed off a legal obligation, preferring to risk fines rather than accept an impediment to growth. There is little reason to think it won’t make the same choice again.2 (https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/10/25/facebook-autocracy-app/#fn-2)


Regulation might make Facebook still more powerful. Network effects, which make a service like Facebook more valuable to users as it grows larger, incline social media companies toward monopoly. The costs of legal compliance for rules like the GDPR, which can be ruinous for smaller start-ups, tend to lock in the power of incumbents even more. Unlike smaller companies, Facebook also has the ability to engage in regulatory arbitrage by moving parts of its business to the cities, states, and countries willing to offer it the largest subsidies and the lightest regulatory touch; it recently shifted its base of operations away from Ireland, where it had gone to avoid taxes, so that 1.5 billion users in Africa, Asia, Australia, and Latin America wouldn’t be covered by the GDPR. Zuckerberg and Sandberg have both said they expect regulation and would welcome the right kind—presumably regulation compatible with more users, more engagement, and more data.

Also, this was a conversation in progress. I'm pretty sure that the pre-recorded argument is that the hat rule is not enforced and that is why the teacher is talking about "bending" rules.

How Trump Fuels the Fascist Right

President Trump makes constant use of the language and logic of the “new right,”

a toxic blend of antebellum white supremacy, twentieth-century fascism, European far-right movements of the 1970s, and today’s self-identified “alt-right.”

And his words and deeds have empowered and enabled an upsurge (https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2018/02/national-security-pros-its-time-talk-about-right-wing-extremism/146319/) of white nationalists and extremist organizations—from Atomwaffen (https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/atomwaffen-division) to the Proud Boys to the Rise Above Movement (https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-picciolini-white-supremacists-20181007-story.html)—that threatens to push the country into violent social conflict.

Amplified by social media (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/24/opinion/sunday/facebook-twitter-terrorism-extremism.html), this new right rhetoric is

inciting unstable men to violence through pipe-bomb mailings and temple shootings.

Everything about Trump’s discourse—the words he uses, the things he is willing to say, when he says them, where, how, how many times—is deliberate and intended for consumption by the new right.

When Trump repeatedly accuses (https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-signs-of-creeping-fascism-are-all-around-us/) a reporter of “racism” for questioning him about his embrace of the term “nationalist,” he is deliberately drawing from the toxic well of white supremacist discourse and directly addressing that base.

Trump’s increasing use (https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium-how-did-the-term-globalist-became-an-anti-semitic-slur-blame-bannon-1.5895925) of the term “globalist” in interviews (https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/10/29/trump_nationalism_means_i_love_the_country_im_not_ a_globalist_i_want_to_take_care_of_us_first.html) and press conferences—including to describe Jewish advisers such as Gary Cohn (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/03/the-origins-of-the-globalist-slur/555479/) or Republican opponents like the Koch brothers (https://www.jpost.com/American-Politics/Trump-attacks-Koch-brothers-with-antisemitic-dog-whistle-563841)—

is a knowing use of an anti-Semitic slur, in the words of the Anti-Defamation League (https://www.adl.org/resources/reports/quantifying-hate-a-year-of-anti-semitism-on-twitter#%E2%80%9Cglobalist%E2%80%9D-as-code-word-for-%E2%80%9Cjew%E2%80%9D), “a code word for Jews.”

Trump’s self-identification (https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/10/23/president-trump-nationalist-globalist-rally-sot-vpx.cnn) as a “nationalist,” especially in contrast to “globalists” like George Soros, extends a hand to white nationalists across the country.

His pointed use of the term “politically correct,” especially in the context of the Muslim ban (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/04/24/travel-ban-donald-trump-campaign-promises-president-tweets/542504002/), speaks directly to followers of far-right figures such as William Lind, author of “What is ‘Political Correctness’? (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/rec3.12258)”

a new right has emerged in America.

The central tenets of this American new right are that Christian heterosexual whites are endangered,

that the traditional nuclear family is in peril,

that “Western civilization” is in decline, and

that whites need to reassert themselves.

The main goal of the American new right, Shaw explains, is to discuss “the one topic that white conservatives are not allowed to discuss,” namely “race.”

Spencer, in his contribution to A Fair Hearing, describes the superiority of certain athletes who are “white, and not just white, but Anglo and Germanic,” with clear reference to Aryan supremacy.

A main guidepost of the new right, Shaw highlights (http://blogs.law.columbia.edu/praxis1313/bernard-e-harcourt-readings-notes-on-the-alt-right/), is that “Jews not only wield obscene levels of power in Western societies, they use that power to damage native white populations.”

“White genocide is underway,” Shaw warns, and those responsible are Jews, Muslims, leftists, and non-whites.

His last campaign ad in 2016 vilified (https://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-closing-campaign-ad-seen-as-striking-anti-semitic-tones/) three opponents, all Jewish:

George Soros,

the former Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen, and

the CEO of Goldman Sachs Lloyd Blankfein.

the South African government is engaged in a genocidal campaign against white farmers.

“‘diversity’ and ‘multiculturalism’ do not ultimately enrich white lives,” Shaw contends, “but rather tend to make white societies poorer, more dangerous, and finally unlivable for whites.”

he is carefully, skillfully, and consistently speaking directly to his hardline nationalist supporters in their exact language, making their tropes and memes his own.

Trump rehearsed (https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-signs-of-creeping-fascism-are-all-around-us/) perfectly the new right’s core argument regarding the racism of anti-racism.

a more immaculate enactment of the Faye-Friberg conceit of inverting anti-racism into racism.

Trump knows exactly what he is doing—as he does when he disparages “globalists” or Soros, mocks “political correctness,” or uses demeaning and dehumanizing expressions such as “infest (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1009071403918864385?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5 Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1009071403918864385&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthehill.com%2Fhomenews%2Fadm inistration%2F392977-trump-dems-want-illegal-immigrants-to-infest-our-country),” “animals (https://www.vox.com/2018/5/18/17368716/trump-animals-immigrants-illegal-ms-13),” “rapists (https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/06/politics/trump-mexico-rapists/index.html),” and “shithole (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-referred-haiti-african-countries-shithole-nations-n836946)” countries to describe immigrants and African nations.

These are deliberate fodder for his white nationalist base.

many of the new right’s cardinal texts work as dictionaries that redefine, recast, and infuse with political meaning ordinary language—what they call “metapolitical” dictionaries.

Empowered by President Trump, the new right is being dangerously radicalized.

This includes a chapter on how to “physically remove” leftists.

The language is violent and explicit.

“Physically removing leftists has gained so much traction because the idea is instinctively both logical and appealing,” Invictus writes, continuing:


The means of physically removing leftists, however, is not as simple.

While throwing commies from helicopters à la Pinochet has become the alt-right’s favorite policy proposal,

this is clearly an inefficient solution.

The Pinochet regime only executed 120 communists in this manner, and we are faced with many thousands of times this number.


President Trump is enabling extremists through what sociologists refer to as “scripted violence (https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/11/16/right-wing-extremists-are-already-threatening-violence-over-democratic-house/?utm_term=.7ae49c2f7c12).”




Speaking openly to the new right, Trump is rallying and emboldening a counterrevolutionary politics.



If the American people do not act soon, we risk being caught in a downward authoritarian spiral or violent

civil strife.

Unfortunately Congress is corrupt to the gills and totally inept. People like Jason Chaffetz and Trey Gowdy realized this and moved on. We can thank a lazy and indifferent voter base for that.

I'm not leaving Congress because of that, it's just tough to juggle being a Congressman, amateur barber, and a fluffer for gay porno shoots. I only got 2 hands!

Trump already released his tax returns though. :lol Maddow made a big deal out of it, and it backfired badly on the pitchfork mob. Pelosi is as dumb as her constituents.
