It turns out that a calm, carefully written appeal for direct ethnic violence by an adult is more horrible than any unhinged edgy "alt-right" rant by a teenager.
If I was calling for "direct ethnic violence", and I do not believe I am, aside from that inherent in "relocation" after the incentive based options run their course, which of course can be a weasel word for much worse, you would be most certainly correct. The teenager is blowing off steam, rebelling, whatever, I certainly had my hot-headed moments and longer, then again never did anything physically violent during them, despite e.g. having access to pretty much every type of gun except the Evil Black Rifle ... or much worse from my study of science....
And indeed, should my anger turn to wrath, personally and collectively, it would be most horrible. Which of course is why I'm trying to keep things to the lower scale of horrible, echoing my other recent comment in this subthread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13063756), about re-reading Churchill's The Gathering Storm, I'm just at the point where the least violent methods of stopping Hitler were avoided, this is right after the failure to stop Mussolini from conquering Abyssinia (modern day Ethiopia, see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyssinia_Crisis), in a way that was particularly damaging to the perception of Hitler's opponents. Stuff like that counts, even the infamous Oxford Union "that this House will in no circumstances fight for its King and Country" debate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_and_Country_debate which, come to think of it, it akin to that teenager's anger, and in fact, those debating did fight for the King and Country when it counted).
But do note, for example, "direct ethnic violence" is already very much a thing today in the US, see e.g. BLM, polar bear hunting, the knock out game, and the writings of Colin Flaherty, and the outbreaks of Sudden Jihad Syndrome, we had one yesterday.... One of the former happened in staid, farmers Springfield, MO, not my Southern cultural miners native Joplin. Going in the other direction of I-44, a beheading (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaughan_Foods_beheading_incide...).
So we've already crossed that line, the only question is, will whites join that game? I'd rather we not, except in immediate, direct self-defense, like what stopped the beheading incident, but do you see anything going on that will calm the waters?
Is what I'm saying horrible, but true?
Will I and my race become (again) like Ollivander put it when Harry Potter was chosen by Tom Riddle's brother wand, "Curious indeed how these things happen. The wand chooses the wizard, remember.... I think we must expect great things from you, Mr Potter.... After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things — terrible, yes, but great."
Me, I don't want greatness, I'd rather be left alone, but repeating that quote attributed to Trotsky, "You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you", that doesn't seem to be an option for me and mine.
Or tell me not that I'm horrible, but that I'm wrong in my facts, and/or in my reading of this situation.
And the no longer in service Sea Dart was really put to the test in the Falkland Islands war, preformed pretty well and made a material difference. And the somewhat related earlier RIM-8 Talos got 4 MIGs in 3 firings, including "the first downing of a hostile aircraft by a missile fired from a ship" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIM-8_Talos).
In addition to all the other stuff, I'll add that one thing employers like to see, in fact, it's one of the Official and simple metrics about whether a man will be successful in life, is that you got this one job straight out of school and stuck to it for two years. That shows some very good character traits, and as long as you didn't personally know of the companies ... issues, they won't count against your character, as long as you do, of course, get out ASAP.
But here's something that instead of entirely delegating, that at least for me is "hands on work": teaching (note also huddo121's recommendation that your formally codify your knowledge: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13061109). In fact, I'd say that one of the single most useful things I learned in high schoool, was JROTC's section on teaching, the Army and military in general of course are constantly teaching people things, heck, not all that long after my father got posted to a radar picket ship in the North Atlantic in the mid-50s, he became the junior officer who broke in brand new officers (he was Grand Lakes enlisted->OCS/only in for 4 years; I would have gone SROTC if not for my eyesight). And perhaps I picked up something of how to teach from his deliberate teaching of me and my siblings of how to hunt, fish, shoot and drive.
So look for some opportunities to mentor your more junior developers, and in terms of delegating, look for opportunities there as well. This can be fantastically rewarding, a win-win-win for you, the mentee, and the company, one of my "mentees" remains to this day one of my best friends.
Note also the knowledge transfer can go both ways, in that above case, I was learning C++ for the project, which he helped, and I helped him drop down to C, he'd only done C++ in college, so like the first thing I taught him was C's new is malloc ^_^.
One other thing to try, perhaps, although I've never been a manager position where all my time could be spent on managing, is to make a very specific segregated task that you'll spend a very finite time "hands on" doing, and don't pull rank when you come into conflict with your subordinates as you're acting as one of their peers.
I'd almost certainly put doing that off for some number of months to a year or so, take in your mind an official vacation from "getting your hands dirty" unless faced with an existential threat, and just focus on the managing.
Other things, especially from the military viewpoint: make it your job to keep your "troops" well fed, healthy, protected from your sub-par superiors, etc. Maybe even explcitly look into the officer/non-commissioned officer/grunt distinctions, they provide a model of something that works, albeit imperfectly as all things human, and in our world of high tech you definitely have to avoid certain forms of that. I.e. D-Day no, mission-type tactics perhaps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission-type_tactics
That your biggest objection to the Nazis is their supposed socialism is a pretty big red flag.
I said it was a "clue", which does not even begin to make it my "biggest objection". That would be their contribution to the Left's 20th Century genocide party, and less specifically targeted deaths, followed by the material and moral damage they did to Western civilization.
And you are misstating the Alt West's position, it's not "'exclusion if not elimination' of my people," (emphasis added), but of your people from "society", as in "relocate from 'our' society", or seeing as you're in Vermont, more likely the reverse, as you know acknowledged from your initial posting in this sub-thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13059524
Perhaps you've just made a mistake, but it's a misstatement of the Alt West's position.
As for the "threat", I'm, saying that's on the table. As my statements throughout this discussion have made clear, we on the Alt West (which I'll keep using since, while a small and marginal group, the Alt White both exists and is tolerated as long as they "shoot in the right direction", i.e. our form of "No Enemies to the Left" (which they haven't been doing as of late), and is of course obsessed with your people, which we aren't particularly) want to make changes sooner rather than later, so those "much worse selections on the menu" are never even in a position to be chosen. It's not exactly an accident I'm reading Churchill's The Gathering Storm right now....
I.e. you dislike and distrust or worse Trump? He and his inchoate "Alt Lite" coalition have come to the fore because the much more polite (look at how they picked up their trash!) Tea Party was brutally suppressed by the Uniparty and ruling class, by means far worse than what removed Nixon from office. Illegitimately suppress Trump's Administration, and the Left will like what follows even less, and as Jews are mostly on the American Left, that'll also include your people.
Nobody is suggesting that you should be forced out of the country and/or into gas chambers.
At best, you're speaking from gross ignorance, and I'll leave my reply to the above at that for now.
if I didn't tell you, you would have no idea that I wasn't yet another of your favored Aryan whites
Nope, not a part of the Alt White, not even sure what part of France my maternal Cajun half came from so I'm not even sure if I'm "Aryan" (and the only physical tell are my green eyes, from my father's blue). But are you saying you're a convert, you have no Jewish ancestors??
The one thing I'll commend you for is that you post these comments under your real name.
Yes, that is something we have in common, associating our HN accounts with our True Names, and the courage of our convictions to speak of them without hiding behind anonymity. Although I of course wouldn't be able to do that if I wasn't retired and anti-fragile.
Well, you can always simulate this at home ^_^; my recent lifestyle changes (buying and renovating a home built in 1910, i.e. I'm cash poor right now) have resulted in my eating one of a variety of tasty Asian instant noodle dishes for lunch. As long as you're willing to spend a buck or two, here are some of the more unusual favorites I've found, besides the standbys of Sapporo Ichiban (although the Shio + some sesame oil is a new favorite there), and of course Nongshim's very spicy Shin Ramyun:
Nongshim also has a seafood Neoguri with "Udon Style Noodles" (i.e. they're a bit larger than normal); if you like seafood, this is worth trying out. They also appear to take pride in not using MSG, at least in the produced in the US stuff, so if you're sensitive to that their products are worth checking out.
Myojo sells an Ippeichan Yakisoba Japanese Style that's very tasty, and this style has no soup base. Rather, they have clever packaging that allows you to cook the noodles and vegetables (and a lot more of the latter than any other type I've come across) in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain them without losing any of the food. Then you add a spice pack, a Worcestershire sauce based sauce, and mustard mayonnaise (why didn't we think of that??), the entire combination is wonderful.
They also sell a good Tonkatsu ramen, but as of late I haven't been able to find it for less than $3/pack and that's too much.
Moving further away, A-Sha Dry Noodle sells a variety of "air dryed", no preservative so the best buy dates don't tend to be more than 6 months out by the time you get them, noodles with sauce packets. You cook the noodles like pasta, 1.5-5 minutes depending on size, drain, then add the sauce packet. Mala spicy chili is great, as is spicy "BBQ" as in Sha Cha flavor if you like that, as I do, Mandarin is basic but good, the sesame oil and paste packets are a disappointment, but readily fixed by adding some sesame oil.
Moving even further away, you can get straight from Vietnam some solid attempts to make instant pho from Vifon, beef and chicken, and these have distant expiration dates because the noodles are rice, and the oil is essentially limited to a 17 calorie packet of spiced palm oil. Not really like the good pho I enjoyed in Arlington, VA, but there are hints of that, and they're worthy in the own rights.
Ask for links and I'll put up ones from Amazon, Walmart.com and A-Sha's storefront, although the Nongshim Neoguri in family packs is now on the shelves of my favorite Wal-Mart Supercenter in rather small Jopin, MO (!!!). Then again, it's really good stuff, and we really like our fish here, e.g. Bass Pro Shops world HQ is only 70 minutes NE on I-44 in Springfield, MO, now Missouri's 3rd largest city.
and how few resources the rest of us have to combat it
Review my recent threads in the last 24+ and see exactly how many people publicly support vs. oppose me. There seem to be a sufficiency of the latter, which makes sense ... ah, let me introduce another concept: identity > culture > politics.
The Left "owns" most if not all of the existing identity groups, and the gravamen about this election seems to be that whites are finally starting to decide that they too must become an identity group, that they can't afford to not play this game when everyone else is, and to our disadvantage. You may find this deplorable, as I do in many ways, but I hope you don't contend that whites are uniquely not allowed to play the same game every other group is playing.
The Left owns the culture, and therefore the politics that are downstream of it, e.g. they've been allowed to define the Overton Window and otherwise the rules of the game. A large fraction of Trump's appeal is that he refuses to play most of the game by the Left's rules, and one of the things that really launched him was his very direct attacks on political correctness, the single most powerful tool in the American Left's armory aside from lawfare and outright violence, the latter of which which we've learned was explicitly a tool in Hillary's campaign and that we can now see being played out in the streets of America. And we can be sure lawfare will be employed in due course....
And, seriously, that I legitimately trigger you does not mean that I hate you, or even dislike you (too many both of Jewish friends and enemies over the years to do that to the group as a whole), although I can certainly see why you'd come to that conclusion.
On the other hand, perhaps look into yourself. Do you hold those in flyover country in disdain? Do you disprove of "Journalist Marisa Fox-Bevilacqua, writing for Israel’s left-wing Ha’aretz daily, call[ing] Ivanka Trump a 'leggy glamazon, a ‘shiksa goddess’ trophy wife for the shy son of a disgraced macher'" (that's from http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/2016/11/27/ivanka-trump-h... since I don't have a subscription to Ha’aretz, nor would I ever dream of paying for one to that rag). The ADL's incorrect smearing of Steve Bannon and Breitbart.com?
Even if you don't participate, this is most certainly a two-way street....
You're just name-calling by labeling me a neo-Nazi, I'm pretty sure I've shown no such tendencies nor harbor any. That I assign the NASDP to the loathsome Left as they labeled themselves ought to be a clue there. Opposition if not hate of Nazis was also something inculcated in my generation (I turn 56 in a few days), especially during the Vietnam War, WWII was "the good war".
This relocation position seems to be a general position of the "Alt Right", including the Alt West component, the neo-Nazis are by definition in the much smaller Alt White component.
As explicitly noted by others and implicitly by me, this position holds true for all these separate identity groups, "diversity + proximity = war", and the Alt West's response is to remove the proximity from the equation. I suspect the the Alt White's is to remove the diversity, shall we say, but that would just be another sign of their detachment from reality.
Me, I'm still making up my mind on whether Jews are such a separate group, but I can see where my research is heading, and therefore I don't disavow this position as of now. You do get to decide if this makes me an anti-Semite, although can you be one and be a staunch admirer and supporter of Israel, in every issue I can think of aside from Jonathan Pollard (which is based on my understanding that much of what he gathered would have only been of interest to the Soviet Union, which implies that the unit of Israeli intelligence he'd been working with was compromised by them, but I note now looking at his Wikipedia entry he spied or tried to for many other countries, which if true (this is Wikipedia), puts a rather different complexion on the whole mess: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Pollard#Espionage)?
Anyway, I will ask you about one thing that's come from my general researches: is there not something very special about the post-Babylonian Jews, in that they uniquely remain a large, cohesive group when e.g. the Samaritans, who had roughly many of the same sorts of experiences, now total 777 as of January 1, 2015 according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans#Modern_times
That alone suggests you are a different identity group from "whites", and thus fall under the "diversity + proximity = war" logic.
And, yeah, America is your home. I believe it's my home too, but too many on the Left believe I'm "not America" as Hillary explicitly put it, and I don't think America's live and let live tradition applies any more, many groups including American Jews are simply not willing to leave us alone, so I'm searching for the least worst ways to address this.
And I think forcing various native born American groups like yours to relocate (or vice versa) is, or at least has to be on the menu. So is a proposal to revert to the pre-1965 demographics of the US, which would leave your group alone. You certainly know from your people's history that there are much worse selections on the menu.
TL;DR: I don't want to tear this away from you, but I think it might be the best of many bad options, and turning that around, what about the tearing away of America from my group?
And calling for a ban from HN? That won't make the opinions of people like me go away, are you, for example, saying no one who belongs to the Alt Right should be allowed to contribute to Hacker News? Despite the fact that they work with, sell to, and so on to what I and many others on both sides see as an steadily increasing number of members of it?
Would that truly be best for it? The Overton Bubble is clearly a real thing as we've seen from the reactions to his election and the all too many discussions of it and subthreads invoking it on HN, and I don't believe I'm operating out of "hate", or preaching it (well, in this domain, I fully admit to hating gun-grabbers, have expressed that in no uncertain terms on HN before, and been called on it, and have done my best to moderate my expression of it on the issue since then).
Nor do I think some calculus balancing good posts versus bad posts is being done by the mods.
It is, though, based on ... dang's comments I think, in a previous incident.
They to date don't appear to believe that I "consistently drop hateful political rhetoric" nor to I believe I do, and I certainly try to avoid "regularly derail[ing] threads". Take this discussion, for example, what I've had to say is pretty much by definition on topic in a topic about "White Nationalism"
Indeed they do, the national ACLU proper is a 501(c)(4) like the NRA, and both have 501(c)(3) charities for stuff that fits with and is legal to do under those constraints. E.g. the NRAs' does pro-bono legal work and the other "raises and donates money to outdoors groups and others such as ROTC programs, 4-H and Boy Scout groups" and in general funds education (and has been a contributor to the remarkable improvement in gun safety statistics).
Heh, and on the ACLU Wikipedia page, "In 2006, the ACLU of Washington State joined with a pro-gun rights organization, the Second Amendment Foundation, and prevailed in a lawsuit against the North Central Regional Library District (NCRL) in Washington for its policy of refusing to disable restrictions upon an adult patron's request."
I'm sure this happened because a) the Second Amendment Foundation's 2 activities are running an important annual conference and b) lawsuits, and they're in Washington state.
And in either case, government censorship of their core political speech, which in theory reflects that of their members (not always entirely true for the NRA), is intolerable and why Citizens United was absolutely necessary.
Classic NTP is hardly the only game in town. For example, see the NTPsec work in progress: https://www.ntpsec.org/ which I'll probably transition to someday, maybe even get an el-cheapo GPS receiver now that I'm not effectively living in a basement.
And I've personally be using chrony for a while, although my needs are significantly less than whatever level of accuracy it provides. There are some other clients out there as well, such as OpenBSD's OpenNTPD, although I have a vague memory of it having issues of precision, congruent with the distribution's focus on security.
Good point, and for that matter, a Dark Pattern they could decide is a bad idea (especially if it's not authorized at a high enough level) would be a lot better than a regression to the mean, which is much harder if not impossible to fix.
I still have a higher trust in them than pretty much any other general on-line merchant (a finely honed BS detector and general suspicious nature about anything "too good to be true" makes a difference, plus watching my father get burned on an iPhone purchase on eBay where the merchant played eBay like a fiddle) ... but they're getting me to start to look at others, which is not what I think they want....
Yeah, I don't do 1-Click (e.g. didn't start Prime until 2 years ago), and I've seen that sort of thing on my consolidated orders when I check out.
Sometimes I can get it isolated to one of the items in my cart, although it can't remember if they then came from different warehouses.
Don't know about this being a Dark Pattern, though, vs. Amazon regressing to the mean, as others have noted in this context in other HN discussions, there are bound to be consequences to treating your technical staff horribly, with search's eternal awfulness being front and center.
Another possibility is that 1 and 2 day shipping gets you put in different queues for available stock; if they don't have enough Exploding Kittens (?!?!?!!!) on hand right now to fulfill all 1 and 2 day orders, they're obviously going to prioritize the people who's revealed preference through hard, cold cash, is for "1 day" delivery.
Direct replacement of a citizen or permanent resident employee with an H-1B visa holder is technically illegal. Weasel word because up to now, the DoJ has not seen fit to prosecute such cases.
Per Wikipedia, it started in 1990, thanks to G. H. W. Bush and the Democratic Congress (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1B_visa). Which would have followed the NSF's et. al. 1980's campaign to reduce the cost of scientific labor by claiming there was a grave skills shortage.
As for "suspending it", Sessions at least took the "Intel yes, Infosys no" approach with his 2015 bill, but I agree the whole program is a problem. But I'll take his and Trump's position, which I think will take legislation, as a good first step.
Thanks for your boost to my point about freedom of speech, but mine was more narrow, i.e. almost all large groups of people acting in concert form corporations for all the usual reasons. Exceptions include institutions that far predate corporations, like the Roman Catholic Church, where each Archbishop personally owns the resources of his see for the duration of his holding the position, which was why the Church entered an amicus curiae in the prosecution of Sun Myung Moon, the precedent established would allow the government to throw every Archbichop in prison, and they have far too much experience with that and worse happening....
So these include the National Rifle Association, a 501(c)(4) non-profit corporation, which is one way America's gun owners combine for collective political action. And which as I recall also filed an amicus curiae in Citizens United, McCain-Feingold very specifically targeted them (McCain, and I assume Feingold, hated it, and if not then, then I would assume for the latter now, after his unexpected failure to return to the Senate).
If I was calling for "direct ethnic violence", and I do not believe I am, aside from that inherent in "relocation" after the incentive based options run their course, which of course can be a weasel word for much worse, you would be most certainly correct. The teenager is blowing off steam, rebelling, whatever, I certainly had my hot-headed moments and longer, then again never did anything physically violent during them, despite e.g. having access to pretty much every type of gun except the Evil Black Rifle ... or much worse from my study of science....
Whereas Kipling's "The Wrath Of The Awakened Saxon" (http://www.europeanamericansunited.org/school1/Fiction/kipli... and rather short, BTW, although I've not read it) is getting a lot of play in some of the blogs and forums I frequent.
And indeed, should my anger turn to wrath, personally and collectively, it would be most horrible. Which of course is why I'm trying to keep things to the lower scale of horrible, echoing my other recent comment in this subthread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13063756), about re-reading Churchill's The Gathering Storm, I'm just at the point where the least violent methods of stopping Hitler were avoided, this is right after the failure to stop Mussolini from conquering Abyssinia (modern day Ethiopia, see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyssinia_Crisis), in a way that was particularly damaging to the perception of Hitler's opponents.
