The bloke doing the work had a contemplative sit, and steadily made himself a neat rolly. "Is that to steady your nerves before you go back up?" I asked. He replied "No, it's for afterwards because I'll be shaking too much to roll a cigarette".

He did a stupendous job, just magic to see him tackle such a nasty tree.

if I am identifying the people that were mostly involved with the generation of that tech, because the truth is they were mostly white male geeks.

Should I also not mention they were mostly male?

Am I suggesting women like to communicate through menstruation?

or would that be a ludicrous overreaction?

Of course there were women, and black people, and non-geeks working in the field but the overwhelming majority of the people involved in making the tech Byrne talked in the link about were white males with a larger than average score on the autistic spectrum, or geeks. As such they would have a greater influence on the direction the tech headed in, which is the topic we are talking about.

To say that is not racist or sexist

Sociologically it doesn't make one jot of difference who develops a technology.
What makes or breaks it is the share of society that adopts it.

Maybe someone can explain. Why do racist nationalist types cling to 1930s German National Socialism...there are other types of racist bigotry...even on its own awful terms it is a failure. A bit like the left with Marxism in that respect. That they are total shits is an acceptable but unsatisfactory answer.

Also, the Spanish version - which let's face it lasted until the death of Franco - is catholic. And catholics are right up there were balcks and jews as US Nazi hate figures. The historical reason for US anit-catholicism is different from UK, of course. Catholics is code word for immigrants.

This is a normal post There is still a religious bent to their bigotry. You still see the "we hate jews cos they killed jebus" lot in the mix.
But there is a growing section of Odalists in the US that are turning to Norse heathenry to justify their white supremacy. You can see the Odal rune on some of their pretty little flags.

Generally they are regarded as a bunch of fucking cunts by heathens in the rest of the world...

This is a normal post His inflamatory statement yesterday was just ridiculous; the petulant whine of a spoilt brat previously forced to say the right thing.
I've no doubt there was violence on both sides, but absolutely no parity between the two.
Also, have you seen how tooled up some of the nazis were? Sweepstake on how long it takes before Trump has to doggedly claim that there was "violence on both sides" of the bloodbath?

This is a normal post For sure and he's gone back on his pre writing script yesterday and claiming parity.
I'm saying to pretend there was no violence on the left as some have done is a falsehood.

Personally if people are willing to combat fascism with force then great.

The battle of cable street was an important moment in UK history and wouldn't want something like that re-written and sanitised.

As far as I know, attacking a person for espousing a personal belief, however repugnant, is still illegal. The US declared war upon a country, not a political party or belief.

The problem, as we have seen recently in the US, is if you believe violence against nazis should be unchecked, a bad actor could label another as a "nazi" and harm them, seize their property, etc. It is a dangerous path.

It's not what I would personally do no, but it doesn't alter my view or make me feel a shred of sympathy for them.

As for the actual death happening after the rally was shut down, I guess it was completely unrelated or their own fault for not getting a permit. If it was a Muslim, you're be calling them a terrorist.

Like most countries you have hate speech laws, you even examine people's social media when they enter your country.

Free speech does not mean no consequences.

This is a normal post Hahahah, there's that ubiquitous description of leftist protest: "mostly peaceful".
But I agree with the theme of that article, for sure. I'm sure we've all been bullied for things we think, how we look, our religion, our nationality - the key is not to reuse those actions on things we don't like because we just justify the earlier bad acts.

And there have been consequences! Imagine being subject to the Mob that is social media: call you out, get you fired, ruin your life and without a moment's pause to verify that what you have been told about that person is true.

This is a normal post Don't know about illegal but i've always prioritise morality over the law anyway.
In the late 90's we tolerated the espousal of the personal belief in an extreme form of islam. Many marches we protected by the police. A busy road outside a mosque was shut every friday because they were banned from praying inside.

Those exact same people that marched went on to form Isis and we've got a problem in europe that's going to take a generation.

Our own anti facist movements seemed to leave them alone rather than confront them. Which is a shame.

People protested peacefully against going to war against Iraq, Hundreds of thousands marched without violence. The UK went to war anyway on what turned out to be a lie.

On the flip side, in the early 90's the government introduced an unpopular tax. We fucking rioted, we used violence and because we rioted that tax was removed.

In the mid 30's the black shirts tried to march through the east end of london. They had the right to march, they had police protection.
The people met this march with violence and drove them back.

When confronted with fascism violence is justified because the alternative is to legitimatise as a valid political viewpoint.

The point I am trying to make is sometimes you need to have a scrap to make sure complete arse hats get nowhere near achieving their political aims.
