All the kids from my high school still working menial jobs in my hometown 10 years later have been buzzing about buying Bitcoin all weekend up and down my Facebook feed. To me, there's no clearer sign that any money to be made during t

This is literally textbook Soviet-style whataboutism. 1. Assert people are happy with the system 2. Ask "What about the civil rights movement in the U.S.?" to deflect from human rights abuses

Good, as long as right-populist sites are losing new readers as fast as left-populist sites are. If Google is indeed making an active effort to use its influence to stall our societal descent into Weimar Republic politics, it should be appl
