Its okay if they want to use cloud computing to augment console gaming, but the second the games become unplayable without it is where I draw the line. At that point not only are we paying full price to play only until its no longer supported, but the hardware we bought is now useless. How do we go back years later to…

Im still playing through the ps3 catalogue! I hope your right, I font want to fall 2 gens back again!

I also like to think that that Microsoft quote means that neither Microsoft nor Sony are in any rush to replace their current consoles. I realize both that are 5 years old now yet I still feel like they’re only just getting up to speed. I’m really not in any rush for new hardware. I still feel like I’ve barely…

One can agree or disagree with what you are saying, but enough to say that you were being coherent until your last line.

Well Black Bloc and the antifa they evolved into are “Anti-Globalist” and general anti-neoliberal which I would argue puts them on the radical left. However, I feel they are a perfect analogue. In political science we have something called the overton window, it is the range of views acceptable in a civil society.…

And those people are dumb too, its an issue with cable news. It fattens the waist and enfeebles the mind.

Republicans are a political party, conservatives are an ideological group they are different things. If you think Trump is ANYTHING but an egomaniac out for himself you’re wrong. Trumps ideology is literally what did I see on TV this morning...

Republican does not equal conservative... I hate those clowns as much as you.

I can assure you outlets like the National Review, Reason, CATO, and many others including myself have criticized this time and time again. Just because you don’t see it does not mean it isn’t happening.

First I pretty much am an expert in the topic, I wrote a thesis paper on it... Furthermore no the Republican Party represents the interests of the Republican Party, just as the Democratic Party represents the interests of the Democratic Party. Equating a political party with an ideology is a classic straw man argument…

This guy in the grey is a perfect example of what I am getting at:

Exactly! As that is what the article wrote about. Nobody changes their mind on the internet its the perfect of example of what Haidt talks about in The Righteous Mind (good book by the way) just I am impressed by you. You... saw something from the other side online, never lose it its sadly a dying ability.

Conservatives have been aware of extremists within their ranks for decades and have done little to nothing to oust such members absent the occasional political or public scandal so egregious that they must disavow themselves.

I totally agree, as a whole the Republican Party is complicit in everything Trump does and any person of merit and conscience should disavow them.

I can assure you the “Black Bloc” which morphed into Antifa existed long before the Alt-Right. In fact it was formed in the 1990's in opposition to the WTO.

It totally does Canada’s residential school system is an example of state sponsored abuse and degradation, it’s horrible and we have not done enough to right those wrongs. However, I am done with this discussion as its clear the idea of good faith discussion is not something you are capable of having. So have a good…

Housing policy, loan applications, criminal justice, predatory lending, ya huge amounts of the American system is built on the legacy of racial injustice. You won’t hear disagreement from me there, we may disagree on how to fix it but not that the issue exists. I am in no way uncomfortable about that, I just dislike…

Nope not playing the victim, just pointing out how quick it was. However, it does speak to discourse as I said when the first and apparently most common reaction instead of to engage in good faith is to imply hate in the other person.

Conservative is an intellectual tradition distinct from other forms of right wing politics. One would not call liberals the same as communists despite both being on the left, the same is true of the Alt-Right they are an alternative hence the name. They are of the right yes, no denying but they are not conservative.

I am just going to point this out and I know I will get blowback for it but it is important. Conservative ≠ racist or white nationalist. They are separate things. The Alt-Right, Gamegate, and their detestable ilk are not by very definition conservatives, the name “Alt-Right” comes from being an Alternative to the…
