So anyone who is acting nefariously can circumvent with bit of work, and the rest of us are subject to another vector of mass surveillance.

I agree that people with the wrong political opinions should not be allowed to work, and that it's up to corporations to be the ultimate arbitrator of what is acceptable political discourse.

If you read your own link, you will learn that free speech and the first amendment are not the same thing.

Sorry, that doesn't fly. Working with people who have different political views is part of being a professional.

It's a team sport after all.

Something tells me that you aren't also going to defend the firing of anyone with open SJW beliefs for the same reason.

Immigration is a perfect example of how the left has traded working class issues for identity politics.

FFS, this story itself is a perfect example. Here we have a corporation firing an employee for 'wrong' speech - and the left is in full support.

That's a class issue, and the left has clearly sided with corporations over the working class.

>We had racial policy in the form of slavery, then segregation and Jim Crow, to discriminatory housing policies, to inequitable application of drug laws

All of those examples are the opposite of

>"treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group"

I for one am glad that corporations are the ultimate arbitrator of what is acceptable political discourse. -s

No. Real hospitals in the US and in Italy have offered to treat him, but the UK has indeed decided he should die and preventing the parents from bringing him to those hospitals.

>And what do you do if your preferred media posts what may be construed as a [opposing viewpoint] headline? Just unsubscribe immediately?

No, because I'm not fragile like liberals are.

I trust the government even less. Charlie Gard is a good example - the UK government has not only decided that he should die, but that his parents are barred from bringing him to another country for treatment.

On top that, the UK is saying that he has to die at the hospital and that his parents can't bring him home on hospice.

I would gladly subscribe to an NPR-caliber newspaper that doesn't have pushing liberal narratives as a #1 priority.

Just like Fox is #1 because it's the only not-liberal media outlet, a real not-liberal newspaper would have a huge following because of the lack of alternatives.

Why single out News Corp (Fox News) when the NYT, WaPo, and the WSJ are also involved in this?

No one in the US has contributed more the rise of ISIS than Democrats.

The current situation in northern Iraq is exactly what was predicted would happen if the US withdrew before the Iraqi government was stable enough. In response, Democrats said that the anti-government AQ forces were "freedom fighters" and said that what happened there was "none of our business."

This is the "peace" Democrats wanted.

So when someone from HL inevitably is jailed over this, will you admit that you and your outlook are wrong?

And in Democrat eyes, they were already hated villains and they are cheering for the company to hit hard.

Pretty meaningless when, thanks to capitalism, all new cars will be electric long before that date arrives.

You don't speak for all men, so please stop acting as though you do.

Being hired to do a job and being funded are two very different things.

>Doesn't make them less private.

Yes, it does actually.

So then you support removing all government funding from the college, yes?

Which doesn't change the reality of what I've said.

I even linked to an left-wing incident that happened over the weekend, with an order of magnitude more people.

Maybe in the past, the left has grown increasingly authoritarian on social issues over the last few years.

Just yesterday a mob of left-wing students tried to assault a professor over a social issue.

Thanks for posting, as this one event by the far, far right with a couple dozen people stands in sharp contrast to dozens and dozens of examples involving as many as hundreds of people from the left, and really shows how unequatable they are.

>I think this is actually totalitarian left

You're absolutely right. There is only one side organizing at grassroots level (indicating that these are not isolated occurrences, but rather are coming from the groups shared ideals) across the country to shut down the political speech of the other, violently in many cases, and that is the left.

I am genuinely curious why you think it is cause for celebration that bratty solider who made a massive blind data dump of classified information to sabotage the US military had their punishment drastically reduced.

This comment is so loaded with strawmen and vitriol I don't think it meets our communities comment guidelines.

True, some of them like Eric Clanton are professors from nearby colleges.

This is due in large part to the Colbert effect. The only source for what liberals believe conservatives think comes from sources like Colbert or Stewart.

It's part of a much broader issue that has lead to the "the sky is falling," "fascism is just around the corner" hysteria since Trump won.

I'm pro-life, hail this as well.

>rich can afford accountants and lawyers to keep their tax burden very light.

The top 5% in the US pay 55% of all Federal income taxes.
