    The alt-right is as much a reaction to a complacent, consistently-losing right wing establishment as it is to the rapid leftward shift of american politics in the last 13 or so yea…

    I think they're working out how they're going to justify what they're going to do with his movement after he's no longer in charge of it. In the last year about three different tim…

    Did it get easier recently? I tried getting into this about six years or so ago and found it really hard to get started. Finding appropriate applets (MUSCLE applet I guess was the …

    He is doing the same thing to NPR, and by extension NPR's listeners, what he was doing to low-info right-wingers: telling them what they wanted to hear, whether or not it's true. H…

    An observation on the right is that any organization that is not explicitly right wing will over time drift into being left wing. I think it's correct.

    Almost all the constant complaints I see fall into a couple categories: 1. forced reduced-functionality or questionable UI choices on a project 2. imported the buggy, unexpected be…

    Mincome is not compatible with businesses and political parties that rely on an endless stream of low-skilled immigration.

    That didn't sound like a Sarah Palin speech, not even remotely. What it sounded to me like was Richard Nixon, who proposed a similar thing for similar reasons, but couldn't get the…

    I was talking about Jacob Appelbaum, are you just being curt hoping nobody notices you're not being honest, or did you really not tell from the context of my comment? "One" would b…
