Churchill would have seen through Donald in a second. He would have realized that he is a petty, trifling man. Unlike the Donald who now thinks in no more than 140 characters, Churchill would have eviscerated him in glorious prose.

UC Berkeley, once the epicenter of free speech, riots to keep Milo from speaking.

So its literally violence to keep from hearing political speech. Nazi's did that too.

I wish there were more protesters at Hitler's speeches. But he squelched that shit. It took a little while though.

20 years ago it would have been hard to envision the rise of the meme. But evidence was there. There are a number of authors who did foresee it. They realized that education was on the wane and that, sooner or later, we would descend far enough (again) to be swayed by simple thoughts. The first thing that goes is analytical skills. All those competing thoughts - some of them contradictory(!) - make people melancholy. Best to just hold thoughts that can be described on one page.

"The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers... [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper."
"The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them."
"The only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters pure." --Thomas Jefferson
Those are three separate quotes BTW
"You're fake news" --Donald Trump

Twitter is just a bauble. The interwebs is the thing.
I was very much a part of the early web community - an early adopter. But I thought it would elevate us. I foresaw it as the end of the nation-state. But then I have always had a hard time understanding the common man's ability to be hooked into stupid shit - like religion. I'm still right - this is just rowing against the current.

That girl had a very tiny role. I am surprised that they did not do more with her. Maybe she died.
Mike Judge never disappoints - though I was never a fan of Beevis and Butthead.

imagine how much better history would have turned out if germans rioted and beat the shit out of nazis and their brown shirts and not given them a chance to spread their nazi garbage.

We should all set up a Fund Raiser to buy tin foil for @UncleBuck 's conspiracy theory of the Iron Cross in the United States:
http://www.adl.org/combating-hate/hate-on-display/c/iron-cross.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/#.WJPY4jsrK00
Nazi regime in Germany superimposed a swastika on the traditional medal, turning it into a Nazi symbol.
In the United States, however, the Iron Cross also became one of several Nazi-era symbols adopted by outlaw bikers, more to signify rebellion or to shock than for any white supremacist ideology. By the early 2000s, this other use of the Iron Cross had spread from bikers to skateboarders and many extreme sports enthusiasts and became part of the logo of several different companies producing equipment and clothing for this audience. Consequently, the use of the Iron Cross in a non-racist context has greatly proliferated in the United States, to the point that an Iron Cross in isolation (i.e., without a superimposed swastika or without other accompanying hate symbols) cannot be determined to be a hate symbol. Care must therefore be used to correctly interpret this symbol in whatever context in which it may be found.
