Nazi Fears and ‘Hate Speech’ Hysteria are Being Amplified to Attack Civil Liberties

It doesn’t take courage to denounce Nazism. Moreover, it appears many of the people incessantly proclaiming how anti-Nazi they are, happen to be the same folks who have the most to answer for when it comes to all sorts of transgressions against the world over the past couple of decades. That said, I’ll give my my quick two cents on the Nazi, white supremacist hysteria currently being amplified by the corporate media.

The general proclivity to obsess about how one’s group, whether it be a nation, political tribe, or race/religion is superior to all others represents such an immature and unconscious way of seeing the world, it’s really hard for me to believe so many people still see reality through such a lens. This type of thinking tends to attract very insecure people. People who cannot look at themselves individually and be proud of the person they see. As such, they scurry around looking for a group with an established superiority myth which they can then latch themselves onto in order to feel better about themselves.

The good news when it comes to Nazism/white supremacy, at least here in the U.S., is that most people appear to be at least conscious enough not to fall for the most basic and primal type of tribalism — i.e., finding a race-based superiority cult attractive. In contrast, the more nuanced superiority cults, such as those based on mindless nationalism or political identity, are far more entrenched here at home, and present a much greater danger to our future.

Before some of you lose it, I wrote “mindless” nationalism for a reason. I think it’s completely normal and healthy for everyone to love and appreciate their own national/regional culture, this is not what I’m referring to. I’m talking about the hordes of mindless automatons who simply fly the American flag and constantly profess their super-sized patriotism, while being completely unaware of the multitude of evil and anti-American actions being done both at home and abroad in their names. It doesn’t seem to matter to these types that their government is acting in total opposition to the Constitution they ostensibly claim to uphold. These people might be less shallow than a self-professed Nazi, but they are far more dangerous to decent, ethical Americans at home, and billions of innocent people abroad. Political party tribalists represent a similar threat, as I’ve discussed on many occasions.

To summarize, Nazism has become almost as discredited as slavery within the minds of most humans. Meaning, it’s such a patently grotesque, childish and unconscious ideology, it can and will only attract very small pockets of people. In fact, given the rampant corruption, wealth inequality and societal decay we’re experiencing in these United States, I’m somewhat encouraged that the movement is as small and insignificant as it is. Of course, I could be wrong about all of this (we’ll have to see how things unfold if the empire collapses chaotically), but that’s how I see it at the moment. Should that ever change, of course I will fight Nazism, or anything similar with all my energy. In contrast, I think other forms of mindless tribalism, political and nationalistic, are far more likely to cause major disasters in the years ahead.

If I’m right about what I wrote above, why is the corporate media acting so hysterically in response to this small collection of hateful misfits? Let me share a few tweets I wrote yesterday to start the conversations.

You can probably tell where I’m going with this. Namely, a lot of really terrible people are trying to reinvent themselves by hyping up the Nazi threat. I’ve discussed this dangerous phenomenon in recent posts, but it’s important enough to keep hammering home. The examples are pretty much everywhere you look. Here’s a particularly shameless example I came across earlier today:

Sarah’s not exaggerating. Here’s the exact quote Madeline Albright made on 60 Minutes:

Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price—we think the price is worth it.

60 Minutes (5/12/96)

Lesson number one. Don’t let terrible people get away with moral preening about some relatively insignificant Nazi threat when these are the very same people who have run this country and much of the world into the toilet bowl. Lesson number two. Don’t allow authoritarians to manipulate your emotions about white supremacy (or any other threat for that matter) as an excuse to take away cherished civil liberties. These types have been selling us on giving away our rights since 9/11, and they continue to use any threat they can to take away those that remain. Free speech is the holy grail for tyrants, and anyone who suggests we give up speech to protect ourselves presents a threat to us all. I came across two examples of this today in the normal course of my reading.

First, an attorney who works for UCLA named K-Sue Park, wrote an op-ed published in The New York Times titled, The A.C.L.U. Needs to Rethink Free Speech. It’s one of the most incoherent, authoritarian pieces I’ve read in a while and, although a painful read, you should definitely check it out. It doesn’t take much logic to recognize that her call for the government to decide which speech is acceptable and which is not, is actually far more dangerous to society than a few hundred Nazis getting together in Virginia, irrespective of the terrible loss of life.

Another example of this authoritarian impulse was penned by Leonid Bershidsky in his Bloomberg article, Facebook and Twitter Are Too Big to Allow Fake Users. To be fair, this article was written before the Charlottesville attack, so I would not characterize him as using the attack to push this narrative, but it’s a wildly dangerous view nonetheless. He writes:

Social networks should be obliged to ban anonymous accounts. If they refuse to do so voluntarily, government regulators should force the issue.

This is a completely unhinged response to the problems of “trolling, fake news and cyberbullying,” which he identifies. It’s the equivalent of taking a nuclear bomb to a knife fight. As someone who spends a great deal of time on Twitter, I can tell you that some of the most insightful and humorous accounts I follow are anonymous. This makes total sense because most people have jobs, and people with jobs can be easily fired or ostracized. Not because they’re writing pro-Nazi tweets, but because everything is essentially political these days, and if your boss happens to be a member of a different political tribe, it could affect your career. Did we already forget what happened to James Damore?

If social media companies suddenly banned anonymous accounts, the entire internet and discourse on it would instantly become 90% less interesting, creative and dynamic. Much of the promise of the web would be crippled by such a policy, and humanity would be far worse off for it.

Such a policy would crush political speech online, and limit it largely to those who create political content professionally. I could see why people in power would want to do this, but I can’t grasp how anyone else could be so naive to support such a agenda.

As Patrick Chovanec (who lived and worked in China), so insightfully tweeted:

Ultimately, we need to recognize that fear is our biggest enemy. The corporate media tries to keep us in a constant state of fear, because it’s in a state of fear where we are most vulnerable and hence easily manipulated. Don’t succumb to fear. Stand strong, be courageous and don’t every give up liberties because some pundit tells you it’s what you need to do to fight whatever enemy they happen to be hyping at the moment.

Finally, let’s finish with a classic clip from the late Bill Hicks, who I consider to be an American prophet. He said it much better than I ever could.

  1. (Have loved Hicks forever… and he’s got the cred.. he faced death/cancer in his thirties.) I think Trump isn’t the problem… those who voted for (and truly love) him are the problem.! Part of their ignorance is that human nature places highest priority on social acceptance/approval… we would not have survived without it. Explains a lot of churches, clubs, politics, etc … the need to belong overrides the need to be ‘good’. And hatred/self righteousness is a real boost to one’s sense of identity, for both sides, I think. (see Wiki on ‘antifa’.. eyeopening)

    Didn’t Teddy R. say that loving your country doesn’t mean loving every government. And racism is especially deep here… just read that medicos have long subliminally assumed blacks don’t feel pain like whites (great book… ‘The Suggestible You’) etc. The plutos have cultivated insecurity here (unlike Europe.. but they’re dismantling it there, too)… fear is their friend. So, have you got a meme that? ‘Don’t let them stampede us over (our civil rights) cliff … or ‘out of our civil rights.’ “The 1% are not our friends.” Or, how about, for the ‘Christians’.. ‘Who said, Turn the other cheek?’

    We have to start the process of educating/learning… by trying to ‘understand’ and it’s not easy. (I recommend ‘A Paradise Built in Hell’ by Solnit, for hope.)

    • Nancy, I am asking you a sincere question. How do you feel about the people who voted for and loved (continue to love) Obama in 2012? By that time he had prosecuted 7 wars, deliberately murdered a teenager because he had the “wrong” father, had kept people in indefinite detention in Gitmo where they were still being tortured, engaged in rendition to torture, sided withe the banking industry against the people devastating ordinary people’s lives, engaged in mass surveillance of our population and prosecuted more whistleblowers than any past president.

      Did you feel that people who voted for, loved him and continue to love him are part of the problem facing the US today?

    • Arioch,

      I think Hillary is farther up the food chain than Obama or Trump.
      The last president who had an actual place at the top of the food chain instead of just being a lackey was Cheney.

      This isn’t what I was writing about to Nancy but it is my answer to your question.

  2. Michael, as usual, I am about 95% in agreement with you. You are very even-minded in your ability to see things from multiple perspectives (I wish more of your commenters could do this).

    “It doesn’t take much logic to recognize that her call for the government to decide which speech is acceptable and which is not, is actually far more dangerous to society than a few hundred Nazis getting together in Virginia, irrespective of the terrible loss of life.”
    Absolutely. One note, though, is that I do agree with Ms.Park that the ACLU should not offer *legal support* to the white supremist. That is money better spent elsewhere, as Ms.Park opined. The ACLU should instead file an amicus brief in support of the 1st Amendment rights of the racists and let them find their own lawyers.

    “It doesn’t take courage to denounce Nazism.”
    Bannon has it right: racial politics plays into Trumps hand. Trump loses Bannon, and he’s finished. Bannon is still the puppet master, only he is smart enough to hide the strings from the puppet. However, while the Confederate statues is a losing issue for Democrats and not really of importance for the country’s long term health, the false moral equivalence that the President of the *United* States expressed goes to the core of our country’s values (just like the freedom to express that hate) and can’t be left unchallenged. Just because Antifa did not act well, does not mean that they are on the same level as hate groups.

    As a side note, my view on “Is Trump a racist?” matches this excellent quote:

    “Did he believe any of it? The question doesn’t apply. He is immune to belief. The tweets will dominate today’s news cycle. The rat mashes the button that makes food appear. In this awful cage, it’s all rats and buttons everywhere.” – Albert Burneko

    People think the problem is that Trump is too egotistical, but that’s not quite it. He doesn’t put his name on building to *demonstrate* how great he is. He does that to *convince* people that he’s great, “believe me.” He is, ironically, the quintessential snowfalke. Anything that makes him look unpopular (crowd size at inaugaration, popular vote count, etc.) or not powerful (losing control over Russia ivestigation to an independat counsel, having his staff tell him what to say/think about Charlottesville) are his soft points and will lead to his downfall. My fear is that it is so obvious how easy he is to manipulate, that the wrong people will take advantage…

  3. The erroneous term Nazi is always applied by guess who? But never Communist etc. The term coninues to be an anti-German one, never ceasing. Of course, the Germans have long lost their backbone, and do not fight back, along with Merkel, who now is converting Germany to the Moslems. Most of us N. European descent Amis, have German dna. All part of the anti-white program. HH

    Reply
    • Hank, most of the “anti-white” propaganda is started by whites themselves. AntiiFa and Black Lives Matter employ paid protesters with the sole purpose of stirring racial tensions. They take angry, misguided youths and use them as pawns in this game. The leaders and financial backers of these groups are never seen on the ground with them standing up for all this so called racism they see. There are indeed black leaders of these groups but they are extremely well payed and the furthest thing from oppressed minorities.

      Another analogy would be ISIS suicide bombers. Do you think the leaders of these groups would ever strap a bomb to themselves for Allah? Absolutely not!

      How much has Al gore given up to save the climate? Not a thing, in fact he uses more than everyone else.

      There are endless analogies but the common theme is its all built on lies and exploiting the gullible.

  4. This is an interesting article I found at counterpunch:

    “The white supremacy that some of us see as more insidious is not reflected in the simple, stereotypical images of the angry, Nazi-saluting alt-righter or even Donald Trump. Instead, it is the normalized and thus invisible white supremacist ideology inculcated into cultural and educational institutions and the policies that stem from those ideas. That process doesn’t just produce the storm troopers of the armed and crazed radical right but also such covert true believers as Robert Ruben from Goldman Sachs, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Tony Blair and Nancy Pelosi – “decent” individuals who have never questioned for a moment the superiority of Western civilization, who believe completely in the White West’s right and responsibility to determine which nations should have sovereignty and who should be the leaders of “lesser” nations. And who believe that there is no alternative to the wonders of global capitalism even if it means that billions of human beings are consigned permanently to what Fanon called the “zone of non-being.”

  5. Jill-In response to that article. The radical left has infiltrated all the educational systems and is part of the reason many young folks are not critical thinkers. They have been entrenched in our educational system and the media for decades. This past election cycle just brought it to forefront.

    The framers of the constitution proposed the best system of government the world has ever known and that is a very small, decentralized government. Unfortunately since Washington onward, the government has continued to grow.

    Until humanity learns to drop the idea of idol worship or electing people to “lead” us, we will continue on a path of systems that will fail. Corruption is part of the human condition and no man, no matter how good is beyond it.

    • Andrew,

      I very much agree with your point that we need to stop idol worship and the election of “savior” leaders. That has been such an incredible disaster.

      I have different thoughts than you about a couple of your other points. While I do agree the radical left is in the schools, I would also add that the very far right is in their with them all the way!! The think tanks and many professors hold views in line with an authoritarian worldview. Whether we call it left or right, to me, it’s all the same-authoritarianism.

      Also, I have thought for a while now that our founders left us a flawed document. It is one of the better Constitutions yet they actually took many of their ideas from some of the Native American tribes whom white settlers had come to know and respect. The flaw in what they wrote came from the fact that they did not mean all men were created equal and they wrote the document accordingly. That was a mistake.

      However, over the years, these flaws have really been improved upon as we came to recognize the equality of race (for example). We still don’t recognize the equality of women in our constitution and there is work to be done on many fronts, including class and getting rid of the idea that corporations are human beings with rights just like a living person.

      This Constitution is a really good start. Dropping the idea of having leaders who will swoop in a “fix” things would help enormously in having everyone get together to make a govt. which works for everyone. Just demanding that we stick to a govt. of law, not individual people (fiat), would be a real improvement at this time!

  7. I am sick of how people just ignore the stuff the black lives matter terrorists have done and antifa terrorists. Other than this one idiot who did the hit and run (killing a white person, something the media and all the hysterical liberals are ignoring), all these incidents that have happened over the last couple years have been by antifa and black lives matter and not the white supremacists/neo nazis.

    This isn’t a defense of the white supremacists since they are idiots but rather a simple statement of reality. What Trump said was correct since it was the antifa clowns who went there and started the violence so they by simple logic share some of the blame of what happened. To say otherwise shows one lacks the ability of accepting reality.

    It’s pretty remarkable that things are getting to the point where it seems like someone who is black or claims to be a liberal would get almost universal defense and support from this corrupt media and all the brainwashed SJWs on social media. I mean these people continually defense supposed Muslim terrorists while they are flipping out over statues and white supremacists who aren’t actually doing anything.

    The country is doomed unless sane people start to stand up and put an end to this insanity.

    Masked, violent leftist crowd mobilized “to make sure no one forgets that Nazi’s are scum” is an excellent idea.

    After WWII in Eastern-Europe the same guardians of democracy made sure that all the Nazis and Nazi sympathizers were erased from politics.

    It took them a bit longer than 6 months to finish their job, but withing a couple of years of tireless fight against the Nazis they eventually cleaned up the entire political system in Eastern-Europe.

    It just happened to be that every single politician and all political parties proved to be fascist one way or an other and they all had to be eliminated until only the Communist party and their selected group of leaders were left.

    At that point the only logical democratic choice and duty to make sure that democracy remains Nazi-free was to declare a single party “people’s republic” and put all other politicians to jail or better yet, execute them.

    Western democracies always failed to acknowledge the historical role of Communists in eliminating Nazis after post-war Eastern-Europe and the USSR.

    Shameful as it is, Western democracies who originally fought against Nazism, waged wars, economic embargo and other strong-arm imperialist actions against Communism.

    Eventually a right-wing, anti-Communist fake US President (he was actually an actor) managed to dismantle the only guarantee against the re-birth of Fascism in the region, the Soviet Communism.

    Hardcore Communists in Eastern-Europe predicted that it was only a matter of time when new generation of Americans will realize the grave mistakes of their parents and they will continue the historic role of the radical left to be the guardians against the Nazis in the USA and around the world.

      To no avail. Few screens of American reports about Korea – the opposite of my search terms! – and one exception is 2011 article in The Atlantic (western MSM) about NK’s then report.

  10. Now for an update of what should be a normal campaign for Santa Fe NM City’s election in March 2018.
    1. My friend Ron Trujillo is running for mayor and my friends cousin is running for city council.

    2. A Hispanic grandmother started a group called Santa Fe Power to fight Bloomberg’s soda tax and it was defeated by a landslide last May. The corporate powers were very upset with the Santa Fe citizens for saying no you can’t dictate what I want to drink.

    3. Fast forward to my past two weeks. The Democratic Party has labeled this group as a racist white supremacists group. The Democratic Party’s message is don’t question or speak out because you will be blacklisted as a racist. Vote for our corrupt candidates.

    4. The Democratic Party is shipping in tons of nonprofits to start racial tension in New Mexico. A state that doesn’t have any white supremacists groups. Except for Eastern New Mexico and we call that Little Texas.

    5. A Santa Fe Antifa group showed up last December in Santa Fe.
    They threatened Santa Fe Power last Monday.

    6. My Facebook account and phone was hacked by Santa Fe Antifa on Tuesday because I made a joke that they looked like armed robbers when they showed up at Democratic Party rally labeling Santa Fe Power as racist. Also since I am helping two honest outsiders get elected.

    7. Antifa showed at the rally ready to beat up the Hispanic grandmothers who organized Santa Fe Power. Some of these ladies were part of the 1960’s movement.

    8. Now these grandmothers are fighting with Santa Fe Antifa on Facebook. This might be the first Antfa group that gets jumped by a gang on their way to a fake anti racism protest for messing with these old ladies.

    10. The entire state is finding out that one family controls both parties. The plan is that this family is to allow the Democratic Party to take complete control of the state government. In return all of the elected positions go to these family members and their puppets. The rest of the population are serfs who will be blacklisted if speak out. Obama and Hillary are building a Democratic Party machine that is totalitarian.

    11. It won’t work because the truth is spreading like the Pueblo Revot in the 16th century via gossip. A shadow party is forming composed of
    Republicans,Democrats,Independents and Greens to get outsider candidates elected.

    12. The majority population of the state knows the Democratic Party is importing hate politics into the state with faux billionaire foundation funded nonprofits. The Democrats are going to have protests and riots painting the Anglo and Hispanic population as white supremacists. Instead it’s uniting us to fight it.

    13. Frankly this could bring down the Democratic Party in New Mexico because the party is stupid enough to attack the Catholic Church. New Mexico has a huge devout Catholic population.

    14. The Democratic Party is getting to be a really sick and twisted party.

  11. This why antifa is a complete joke:

    “Fascism is Fabian socialism plus the inevitable dictator.” – John T. Flynn

    Without a Corporatist State first being established neither Nazism or Fascism can exist.Just look at the history of Germany and Italy in the 1930’s. Mussolini established a Corporatist State first and Hitler followed his lead. The differences between the Nazis and the Fascists were insignificant and both were Socialist at their foundation.

    The US is now a full blown Corporatist State thanks to a procession of Presidents that The People elected going back to Woodrow Wilson. The exception was JFK. We all know what was done about him. Then we got LBJ. Who was the complete opposite in every way as a person to Jack Kennedy. Lyndon Johnson was their insurance policy which they wasted little time cashing in.

    The white supremacists are a tiny little minority mostly comprised of nutcase white trash meth heads that are insignificant other than they make perfect foils. So they are creating a bunch of bullshit around Confederate war memorials and statues to give them a higher profile.

    Antifa is primarily comprised of Trustafarian champagne socialists with Black Amex cards mixed in with their maladjusted middle class wake n’ bake stoner buddies from college who couldn’t afford to do what they’re doing without their Trustafarian buddies family money.

    Both groups are just pawns.Whereas people like Michael Krieger are Toto pulling back the curtain so everyone can see that the great and powerful Wizard is just a salesman pulling levers to create an illusion of absolute supremacy.

    Yes, our civil liberties are threatened. But it’s still just a side show that will eventually be exposed once enough people realize that the snake oil doesn’t work.

    So the best thing that everyone who understands all of this can do is spread the word. Even if it’s just one person at a time. Just plant the seeds and don’t succumb to fear (aka/ courage).

    “All these incidents that have happened over the last couple years have been by antifa and black lives matter and not the white supremacists/neo nazis. ”

    A few comments
    – In your opinio a white supremist “incident” only counts when somone dies
    – BLM and Antifa have never killed anyone, so I see that you bar afor an incident is much lower for these groups. No bias there at all…

    – BLM was created in response to police shooting unarmed black men (some of which were probably justified, but definitely not all). There have been numerous studies showing that blacks are disproportionately tarageted by law enforcement. Mnay of these studies found racial bias even when you factored out other factors such as poverty level, and when you looked at convictions vs arrests and other stats.
    – Antifa was founde to counter Donal Trunp
    – White supremist groups were founde when other races were moving towards *equality* with whites

    ****
    ALso, the thing you and many others are missing is that while a few people are defendign Antifa’s actions, most aren’t. What they are doing is saying that Antifa’s actions are not as bad as the white supremist. This is why you keep hearing tersm such as “moral authority” and “false moral equivalency.’

    If a father murdered the killer of their child, would you also say they are equally bad? Same actions, differnt moral authority.
    What about a soldier killing an enemy soldier in battle? Is the soldier a murdere?
    If a school yard bully was pickign on a little kid (they never pick on strong kids because bullies tend to be cowards looking for a power trip), and another kid intervened and fought with the bully, would you say that their actions are morally equal?

    Antifa is defending basic human rights. The way they did it is not justified, but the fact that they were defnding a principle that most Americans uphold makes is the reason the “brainwashed SJWs) hold them in higher regard than the white supremist they fought with.

    • BTN- Apparently you and fatsio have completely missed the point of this post.

      BTW, the white supremacist movement (aka/ the KKK) was founded directly after the civil war by Nathan Bedford Forrest. It’s initial purpose was to run off Carpet Baggers and Scalawags. When it quickly morphed into lynch mobs Forrest left.

      As I already pointed out, antifa is a joke, and the joke is on them.

    • > – Antifa was founde to counter Donal Trunp

      That is precious.

      So we can now settle that American Antifa movement is nothing about Fasicsim/Nazism and is only hunting for Trump and Trumpers.

    • > What about a soldier killing an enemy soldier in battle? Is the soldier a murdere?

      Just like I said yesterday.

      When American soldier murders 500 millions of Iraqi or would be killing 3 millions and a half of North Koreans – “it is worth it”, because he has a license to kill called “moral authority” and “manifest destiny”.

      When Iraqi or Korean subhumans dare to shoot back at the said American soldiers – they are damned immoral terrorists, because they did not purchase the “moral authority” license first.

      Moral authority of Guantanamo should be really addicting. Those actions are “not as bad” as Guantanamo captives themselves are, so Guantanamo must continue. But in no way that is defending Guantanamo, in no way!

  14. “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
    — Matthew 10:28

    Don’t fear those Several People and Persons who can cause you death in the Political Body, but who can’t kill your real-life nature; however, anticipate and avoid those agents of temptation who try and are able to destroy your natural fact of being, and anticipate those People who try & coerce your soul AND your own physical fact into the Legalisms of State, which put both your nature and your real man into a debtors prison to The People.

  15. One of your best articles. I have been trying to say the same, but I am called a racist and a Nazi sympathiser for doing so. I personally do not care what people think or express. I only care about if they have the power to carry out their beliefs. I am in an interracial marriage, something they would be against. I have no worry about them being a threat to it. Jews and minorities should not feel threatened either. They have no power. We should let them have their rallies and ignore them. Nobody needs to disavow them. It should be obvious their views are not American values.

    I have stated on a previous article the real reasons for the outcry. They are:

    1. The Russian narrative is failing; therefore, they have to fall back to “Trump is a racist.”

    2. As you pointed out, there is an attack on free expression. The goal is to shut down dissent. Mostly, of the Trump supporters. But, as you will see, if you say something that does not agree totally with the Trump critics, you will be attacked. A middle ground will not be allowed.

    3. To give a Blacks a Boogieman, that the left will say they are protecting them from, all while doing nothing about their real problems. This is one Jimmy Dore would agree with.

    I am a regular reader here. I agree with much. I have many disappointments in Trump, but this latest puts me permanently back on the Trump train. I believe many Trump supporters are going to see this the way I do.

    What we are hearing is it is now ok to physically harm someone because you do not like their beliefs. Trump and a few conservative commentators are saying this is wrong. There will be no distinction made between Nazis and others who the left disagrees with. I and many Trump supports feel threatened.

    If Trump’s critics are condoning violence, who are we to turn to as an alternative? I believe he just assured his reelection.

    > Social networks should be obliged to ban anonymous accounts

    It is interesting, that Kaspersky Eugene, CEO of antivirus company with alleged ties to Russian Security and providing hosting to pro-western opposition, is calling to pervasive users identification on the net for ages.
    He claims it is the only way to fix computer viruses problem.
    It seems so reasonable, that a person making fortunes on virus problem seeks for its final solution, that would zero his revenues….

  17. There is one more side to it.

    > Social networks should be obliged to ban anonymous accounts

    ….and, by extension, pseudonymous too.

    So,
    1) how exactly would social networks, including small startups, be able to check paperwork of citizens around world ?
    2) does it mean, that dissent voices from Syria or Donbass or Yemen would have to be prohibited to trespass social networks, because those soc-net employees would fear to tread into those areas to check those users paperworks authencity?

    In other words, you do not require direct accounts from, say, Donbass. Vice works would be enough for every good citizen.

  18. Finally, OK, there is no reason a good fearful American citizen should ever feel obliged to care about some aborigine creep, lacking blood transfusion in Yemen.

    Indeed, why? As long as every American can show his ID to the Instagram or G+ he is served well, right?

    Well, pesky boring technicalities again…
    How can an American social network prove authencity of its American user?

    Either (a) every private startup claiming itself soc-net should be given access to personal information of every citizen, and information vast enough to check every new user claim of one’s identity in almost realtime, or (b) there should be state-run proxy agency, that would do this authentication by requests for those startups.

    I guess you can see implications of both.

    Also recall that blockchain technologies so hyped, they are all built on the assumption of TOTAL publicity of every single financial transaction of everyone. Just marry it with some freemiums on those soc-nets and you pegged it.

    Now, last, after all those things settled, you still can not be 100% sure person typing some specific message right now is definitely the person legally owning the phone/computer/internet contract. not some other person, who dived in his seat for few minutes, In other words, the trust chain of authentication is not enough form server to user terminal device(computer or smartphone), it has to be prolonged from the device to the living breathing body. As long as everyone got on terms that pervasive authentication is normal and natural, this would come fast and easy, and would be seen as a temporary technical limitation. Which would be solved. Like by fingerprints scanners in all modern phones. Or maybe eye scanners. Or proximity unlocking “fitness bracelets”, etc. All those fancy and – in their term – comfortable gadgets.
    I would not even mention direct brains-to-computer wiring, that is envisioned by fiction writers, but having little techno-biological base still.

    Actually, you may be interested to read about modern, 3rd generation Chinese passports. It is a single e-card, having it all, including medical records, driving license, bank accounts, pubic transit tickets, and all. Tremendously useful… For good citizens, of course.

  19. How about making the point that these days anyone who isn’t politically left is automatically labeled a Nazi, and that the far left are the real fascists: anyone against them are automatically undesirables, much like the Nazis turned society against the Jews.

  20. That idiot’s driving his car into a crowd was such a windfall for the left…without that happening, the moral high ground in the whole scenario would have been much harder to take. Not that the posturers and preeners wouldn’t have tried, you understand.

  21. I found some information that helps back up my claim in in my previous post that Trump’s remarks is supported by his base and assures his reelection. According to a CBS news survey, 67% of Republicans support his statement. Furthermore, if you do a search on youtube, you will find that most of the videos portray Antifa as a violent hate group, rather than a peaceful, anti-hate protest group, as is showed on corporate media. Therefore, the truth is out there.

    What is worse about the left being clueless is that by not condemning Antifa they end up hurting themselves in the long run. They sound as if the condone violence for political reasons. We already have a Missouri state senator calling for Trump’s assassination. She is one of many on the left. And there is a petition in support of her.

    The violent left is now emboldened to commit more violence and of a more extreme nature. And now is where it will turn out bad for the liberals. I predict that the extreme left, Antifa or BLM, will do something so bad that even the corporate media can not ignore it. Blood, metaphorically speaking, will be on the hands of those that did not condemn leftist violence. At that point the Democrats will cease to be legitimate political party. They will be a hate group.

    I do not wish to defeat them this way. I prefer to defeat them in the free exchange of ideas.
