With deep apologies to my European friends... this is far too funny not to post.

...when the well-off 21st century Maoist yells at a senior Soviet Union exilee about how he should be thrown in a forced labor camp.

John A De Goes' response to the scandal manufactured by the SJW faction to suppress Curtis Yarvin (Mencius Moldbug) from LambdaConf — and why his response is a win for actual heterogeneity and richness of thoughts, beliefs and ideas. Bravo!

If you hear a faint, or a loud, hum coming from the speakers connected to your Marantz preprocessor, here is the fix.

Sometimes you need to diagnose a particular problem with your stereo's setup, or your headphones, or the speakers of your laptop.

They murder and brutalize people and other living creatures, and they lie compulsively whenever anyone wants to hold them responsible for their brutality. Let's look at examples of these gangsters' perversity here.
