It's been said before, and better, but it bears repeating:

For the American Left, violence is analog. Dial it up a little bit, throw some bricks, light some fires, get your way, calm back down.

For the American Right, violence is binary. The switch has two positions: off, and kill your enemies.

This creates a high bar for the use of force, because there's a significant gulf between "try to vote better candidates in to represent your interest" and "hit the reset button with lethal force". There's no way to put just one foot on that second road. If you're going to walk it, it has to be with a clear head and a purpose.

I hope we can turn things around before we do reach that point, but the Left seems quite convinced they can white-knuckle it until the last person who opposes their anti-human regime has died of old age or been cowed into submission.

The thing about the right to keep and bear arms is that people, especially tyrants, forget what it means to attempt to rule an armed citizenry if there has not been a recent reminder.

All of this shit was added in after Early Access.

If you hadn't sworn off EA before, now's the time. Companies have figured out they can bait-and-switch in faggotry and social justice on release.

“Approximately 83% and 86% of Mozilla’s revenues from customers with contracts were derived from one customer for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Receivables from that one customer represented 69% and 73% of the December 31, 2021 and 2020 outstanding receivables, respectively.”

In other words: The vast majority (roughly 70%) of all of Mozilla’s yearly revenue comes from default search engine placement of just one customer.

That customer, while not named in the report, is obviously Google (and parent company, Alphabet).

So Mozilla is nearly a subsidiary of Google, and exists primarily to push Alphabet's social agenda ('organizing' and 'activism' account for 4x more expenditures than software development).

From their LinkedIn page, Mckensie Mack Group describes itself thusly: “Black-led and nonbinary-led, MMG is a global social justice organization”.

Action Research Collaborative [...] founder, Neil Lewis Jr., appears to have focused his career on “vaccine acceptance”, problems with “white” people, and his theory that “white people” can not be victims of discrimination.

It is starting to look like Mozilla is a billion dollar anti-trust insurance bond against the possibility of the Feds deciding that Chrome's position is monopolistic (90% plus looks fairly monopolistic as-is...).

With the 70%+ reliance on Google (a competitor) for revenue, why is Mozilla spending money on projects that have no goal of being profitable (and have no relation to their core business)?

What happens when the Google funding goes away? Mozilla appears certain that it never will (based on their spending)…. why is that?

Tipper Gore was neither a Christian nor right-wing, despite what the jackalss above would have us believe.

The anti-media fervor in the 80s through the 00s may have been puritanical, but its vanguard was primarily comprised of moralizing leftists.

It does have an IMPortant message for men and boys.

They hate you and want you enslaved, because they're unhappy with their own lives and blame you for their dissatisfaction with post-industrial society and its present.

The good thing about weathervanes is they'll tell you when the wind is shifting. That's all they're useful for.

This narcissistic cunt thinks feminism is played out as a marketing strategy. I'd like to believe it's true, but I think it's much more likely she just failed to rationalize her failure as a misogyny thing and needs to pivot to maintain her self-image.

I do like that she feels like she can benefit from saying this, though. She may be wrong, in which case another pawn of the enemy is off the board, or she may be right, and others will begin to more vocally reject the feminist message, and reject it sooner.

Hitting him in the nads would've also made a permanent impression. His future prison husband would've been grateful, too.

That entirely depends on who feels duped and how much suction they have with the state political machine.

"Anti-trust" legislation produces all manner of fuckity fallout like this. Brand X is a mark of Company Y globally, except where it's owned by Company A, B, or C in particular markets because some judge decided selling off that local brand was enough to clear the arbitrary bar of "not monopolistic"

That said, I have little doubt that there isn't some sort of shennanigans behind the scenes, like Modelo paying 40% of their annual net revenue to AB Inbev to license the name and trademark of Modelo.

It turns out that an early 1990s representation of "you can have a multiethnic monoculture but not a multiculture" doesn't sell well with lefty audiences who are interested in destruction of a functional society.
