I was being facetious. Giving up on entire communities is asinine. If someone in a Chicago or New York or wherever can learn JavaScript and how to pat themselves on the back really hard so can someone born in Appalachia. And I'm sure someday they'll all be using Microsoft SQL on physical servers when everyone's moved on to cloud-based NoSQL instances, because they've been disadvantaged quite a bit and blaming them for it is useless.

If they're racist traitors then in all seriousness I could not care less about whether they live or die. But I don't think that applies to most of the people we're talking about here

Are you saying that Appalachia is behind the times? It goes a bit deeper than that, particularly in coal communities. I only ask because I don't know what those coding standards mean

All the crazy poo poo now happens while I'm asleep again. :(

Good to see we're all still on the same page when it comes to bashing the fasch.

Also, while drones are a point of interest, my cousing flies for BA, and posted a visualization of the disruption a drone flown near Gatwick airport caused back in July, pretty nifty.

https://vimeo.com/228662010

More details and raw radar footage here http://nats.aero/blog/2017/07/drone-disruption-gatwick/

Ironically enough, it seems that the drone wasn't 'near' the airport, and well within airspace sanctioned for public use a ways away from Gatwick, where a photojournalist had been covering the scene of a fire in a caravan park or something. Apparently, overzealous reporting/observation resulted in the sighting, and the drone not actually being 'near' Gatwick resulted in it not being spotted again when airport crew went looking for it.

"You guys did this to yourselves by refusing to show up on election day. IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE TO VOTE, GUYS, GOSH. Now beat feet, idiots."

Agreeing with VV on this one.

Aside from security and infrastructure of all flavors, government's main job is to protect the bits of society that get left behind as it advances. That doesn't mean preserving coal mining towns as living museums, but it does mean preventing people from descending into poverty and desperation in the course of 1 to 2 generations. It's easy in hindsight to suggest this was the obvious conclusion for coal, but remember that political candidates have been dangled coal-related promises for decades in order to get elected.

Everyone benefits if the government supports and sources exit opportunities, retraining, and welfare for people who specialized in an industry that's being phased out.

Obviously what we are seeing recently is not justified by any of that. But if we don't like the ugly results of leaving behind a subset of the population maybe we should support preventative measures in the future. In this case, it's already developed into full blown cancer, so we may as well bust out the scalpel and chemo shermans and M1s.

Then don't vote against that type of thing. I promise if poor rural America changed their outlook on social programs that would benefit them as well as millions of others, I will change my tune. Until then, they can keep voting themselves into poverty just so they can spite liberals and/or not give any help to black/sick/poor people, while the leaders they elect try to get massive tax breaks and gently caress their voters even more, and I'll keep sending my sympathies elsewhere.

Basically it's this: if you continue to vote for people who want to gently caress poor/black/sick people, then gently caress you too.

Guessing here, but I imagine the first instances of getting rural poors to vote against their own interests had to do with exploiting racist sentiments, particularly in the south, by political candidates.

I agree that things are way out of hand, but we didn't get here by accident. This poo poo is in someone's best interest and this is just the latest poo poo in a long line of poo poo that was in someone's best interest.

Well, it's not a noted turn of phrase, but I meant stuff like housing discrimination, hiring practices and biases based on someone's name, saying someone is doing great "considering his/her background," different pay for the same work, etc.

quote:

Photos of Cvjetanovic protesting circulated on social media, denouncing Cvjetanovic as a racist.

“I did not expect the photo to be shared as much as it was. I understand the photo has a very negative connotation. But I hope that the people sharing the photo are willing to listen that I’m not the angry racist they see in that photo.”

However Cvjetanovic, a self-proclaimed white nationalist, defends his beliefs.

As a white nationalist, I care for all people. We all deserve a future for our children and for our culture. White nationalists aren’t all hateful; we just want to preserve what we have.”

Yup, this goes back to my point yesterday about how racists have repackaged themselves and rephrased their message. I don't know if anyone read the cville article I posted last night; one of guys states that he isn't a racist - he is a white nationalist who just wants white people to be "able to assemble and advocate for their rights like other groups".

The internet has started identifying and doxxing the more visible fascists who attended the rally in Charlottesville. At least one of them has already gotten fired over their attendance yesterday.

A lot of people came from as far away as California to attend this rally, including some veterans of the Berkeley brawl from earlier this year, and also, that Vanguard America group that the suspect reportedly marched with is the same one that blanketed a neighborhood in DC (Bloomingdale- the same neighborhood where Seth Rich got killed :tinfoil:) and tore down the pride flag at my favorite bar in that neighborhood.
