schestowitz_bed2Over the years I have seen many cases where the "law" was arbitrarily used, changed, applied selectively in order to attack the person, not the "crime". A recent example of this was "weev" (google it) and prior to this Aaron Swartz. I assume you may be one of these victims; online pornography is not a crime, but some object to pornography and would go as far as banning it. If the law against pornography does not exist, then Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2they can make up some allegations and destroy people.Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2Over the past half a year I wrote in Twitter and other sites about the corruption of Arizona police, esp. when I came across and shared articles about other incidence of zealotry in Arizona 'police', including illegal domestic surveillance (lots came out in recent months, not just owing to Ed Snowden).Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2From a technical point of view, earlier today I saw 3 shocking new findings about routers having back doors. Some are linked to Cisco, some are more generic. This is a universal back door into many homes.Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2What I would be exceptionally delighted to see is technical evidence of back doors or illegal govt. intrusion. I saw some published in past years, but it requires technical how-to for presentation for the public and denial or denials.Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2Sites that contain libel about the victim may be the result of "controlled leaks" or politically-motivated actions. People pass dirt for one another to publish. Libel can be removed, but it can take a while to pursue the host. Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2A month ago I removed a post that had been made by someone else, probably about a true story about an FBI trap catching a Microsoft staffer, allegedly for underage sex charges (he did nothing, he was set up/framed and greeted by the agents). The wife of the person asked me kindly to help the person clean his name.Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2There are powerful people in this world because they have friends in positions of power -- people who want money and exchange it with power. You may have gotten on the nerve of some of these people. Time to expose their wrongdoings to deter them. They might walk away.Apr 20 18:24

schestowitz__@Roy: In the US? (one of few countries where academics have examined the issue) you'd be correct. The majority of male rape occurs in prisons which are gender segregated.Apr 20 19:32

schestowitz__"Apr 20 19:33
schestowitz__And to address the quote itself:Apr 20 19:33
schestowitz__    Teaching victims of a crime to stay safe is sensible. Police forces do this for almost every common crime, such as housebreaking, mugging, bike theft, rape, gang violence etc. This doesn't in any way come even close to implying that they're not interested in going after the perpetrators, it implies that they're unlikely to be 100% successfulApr 20 19:33
schestowitz__    There's no point "teaching men not to rape." Not all men are rapists and not all rapists are men. This kind of prejudiced assignation of blame according to demographics is sexist. You might as well call for people to "teach african americans not to steal."Apr 20 19:33
schestowitz__    Even if all rapists were male, it still wouldn't make sense to do this: We do teach men not to rape. The idea that rape is acceptable is pure myth and fantasy. Rapists know it's not ok to rape, but they do it anyway.Apr 20 19:33
schestowitz__    The whole thing is a false dichtomy: It implies that we can either give out safety advice or try to catch criminals. The sensible thing to do is to do both.Apr 20 19:33
schestowitz__"Apr 20 19:33
schestowitz__I know of two distant friends of mine who were exploited while drunk by women who "took a ride". Women assume they'll always get away with it, but I would not classify this as rape. If done by the guys, then nowadays claims of rape might pass muster.Apr 20 19:34

schestowitz__"Anyway, I do appreciate that the people on this thread seem to be grappling with complexities rather than the simplistic good guys vs bad guys analyses I so often see. David, the terms "they had money" and "inflated prices" rang some code-word alarms in my head and I apologize for hastily accusing you of antisemitism. It was a knee-jerk response."Apr 20 21:58

schestowitz__"Apr 21 08:03
schestowitz__Part of the problem here is that we have been very sloppy with language. We spoke of Jews, when what was meant was a particular group of right-wing Jews who exercise disproportionate control over the political and propaganda operations of Israel, who oppose any territorial concessions in what they call Judea and Samaria, who offer people who've lived there for thousands of years no place to live.Apr 21 08:03
schestowitz__Calling them 'Zionists' doesn't work either, as the history shows that Zionists were far from a monolithic group.Apr 21 08:03
schestowitz__My attempt has been to try to focus on what people actually do rather than to categorize them and to show that there is a much greater diversity among Jews than we most often see. Yes, there are Jewish fascists who seem to understand their role as colonizer in all the ugliest aspects of what had been done to them in Europe over a period of centuries. But there are also others, and as I'm finding with my work on conservatives, Apr 21 08:03

schestowitz__"Apr 21 08:04
schestowitz__@Joe: I was referring more to the Nazis. The reason they rose to power and adopted such a dictatorial stance was because of the conditions faced by the German population following WW1. They persecuted the Jews (and others) who in turn persecuted the Palestinians.Apr 21 08:04
schestowitz__Basicly: There's no excuse. If that kind of behaviour is acceptable then there's no such thing as a war crime, which I don't believe is true.Apr 21 08:04

schestowitz__The Nazi analogy does not work. It's offensive and inaccurate. David's message, however, is very insightful on many levels.Apr 21 08:04

But while Sabra/Shatila and some other individual incidents could be called genocide, I see no systematic extermination campaign like either the Nazis or America did.

schestowitz__One source of confusion is when you conflate Nazis and fascists. Yes, Nazis were fascists.Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__But not all fascists are Nazis.Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__The genocide of the American Indian took the form of many small acts, not unlike Sabra/Shatila. It took place over hundreds of years (some say it isn't over) and on a far larger land area (really, the entire western hemisphere) than in Palestine.Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__Palestinians were forced to move. Indians were forced to move. The only 'good Indian' was thought to be a dead one. And so it apparently is with Palestinians. The Palestinians have been systematically deprived of their livelihoods and necessities for survival. And again, so it was with Indians.Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__But to make these comparisons, you don't necessarily look at specific actions. You look to attitudes and motivations. In both these cases, we are looking at hatred for a group based on nothing more than who they are. And that, ultimately, is what fascism is.Apr 22 08:21

schestowitz__Some people in this thread must read history. There is sparingly repetition of words like "Nazi" and "genocide" when nobody points out that almost 2 million Israeli citizens are Arabs. To an outsider this thread would easily look like antisemitism.Apr 22 08:24
schestowitz__And BTW, settlers are like the AQ of Israel and they are a rabid minority (often comes from the outside) which should not be used to generalise and derive conclusion about the population as a whole, esp. under a far right wing government that's elected based on lies.Apr 22 08:27
schestowitz__The analogy wrt US is useful here, from the foundation of the country to some existing policies. But since the US is far bigger it is proportionally more aggressive against a huge number of nations. Russia is not a darling, either. And don't get me started on Britain or France :-)Apr 22 08:27

schestowitz__Timed with Ubuntu releases?Apr 24 20:36
schestowitz__That's a sad commentary on the state of coverage of Linux.Apr 24 20:36
schestowitz__I know people were making the argument that Linux was ready for the desktop during the dot-com boom (and StarOffice was in a state where I could work with it for about 15 minutes before I had to remove and reinstall it--worthless garbage).Apr 24 20:37
schestowitz__I think there are two real problems:Apr 24 20:37
schestowitz__* Some people (my mother comes to mind, but I've also seen it elsewhere) just really are more comfortable in a Windows environment. It's what they're used to and it's too hard to switch.Apr 24 20:37
schestowitz__    The preponderance of Microsoft Office: I can't use LibreOffice in my Ph.D. program; it can't, as near as I can tell, conform to the style requirements at my school. Those style requirements even require a relatively recent version of Word (I think, but am not sure, that 2007 can meet them; I'm currently running 2013). It's not even up for consideration that people might want to use other word processors there.Apr 24 20:37
schestowitz__The result is that you can't get people to start on Linux because too many people they work with use Windows. And you can't get people to switch from Windows for the same reason.Apr 24 20:37
schestowitz__"Apr 24 20:37
schestowitz__"Apr 24 20:37
schestowitz__Garbage: I changed almost all the computers in my direct environment from Windows to Linux, including those of my mom and dad (~ 65), my former boss (f, 71), my brothers (12 & 15), …Apr 24 20:37
schestowitz__Yes, they had problems switching to a new OS, but these are not specifically tied to Linux: They experienced the same problems switching to a new version of Windows – or even to new versions of frequently used programs like browsers, e-mail- or word-processing-programs. They have all accustomed to it within 2 to 3 weeks and are now running Ubuntu without much ado.Apr 24 20:37
schestowitz__This last point is important to stress: The "it's too hard to switch" thing is no longer an argument, because most people, who have a hard time when something changes on computers (i.e. old people), complain that things change on their computer all the time no matter the OS. The switch from WIndows to Linux is not more of a hassle than those "god-forsaken updates, that always change every button!"Apr 24 20:37

schestowitz__I agree. My parents and my wife were moved by me to Linux and Android. It took some patience and there was little resistance, but they found comfort in new envs.Apr 24 20:37

schestowitz__Part of the problem, I think, is that people use the term socialism without ever defining it. I gather from all the reading I've done of right-wing sources that it refers to central planning--and they confound this with collectivization.Apr 25 16:41

schestowitz_bed2Over the years I have seen many cases where the "law" was arbitrarily used, changed, applied selectively in order to attack the person, not the "crime". A recent example of this was "weev" (google it) and prior to this Aaron Swartz. I assume you may be one of these victims; online pornography is not a crime, but some object to pornography and would go as far as banning it. If the law against pornography does not exist, then Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2they can make up some allegations and destroy people.Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2Over the past half a year I wrote in Twitter and other sites about the corruption of Arizona police, esp. when I came across and shared articles about other incidence of zealotry in Arizona 'police', including illegal domestic surveillance (lots came out in recent months, not just owing to Ed Snowden).Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2From a technical point of view, earlier today I saw 3 shocking new findings about routers having back doors. Some are linked to Cisco, some are more generic. This is a universal back door into many homes.Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2What I would be exceptionally delighted to see is technical evidence of back doors or illegal govt. intrusion. I saw some published in past years, but it requires technical how-to for presentation for the public and denial or denials.Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2Sites that contain libel about the victim may be the result of "controlled leaks" or politically-motivated actions. People pass dirt for one another to publish. Libel can be removed, but it can take a while to pursue the host. Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2A month ago I removed a post that had been made by someone else, probably about a true story about an FBI trap catching a Microsoft staffer, allegedly for underage sex charges (he did nothing, he was set up/framed and greeted by the agents). The wife of the person asked me kindly to help the person clean his name.Apr 20 18:24
schestowitz_bed2There are powerful people in this world because they have friends in positions of power -- people who want money and exchange it with power. You may have gotten on the nerve of some of these people. Time to expose their wrongdoings to deter them. They might walk away.Apr 20 18:24

schestowitz__And to address the quote itself:Apr 20 19:32
schestowitz__    Teaching victims of a crime to stay safe is sensible. Police forces do this for almost every common crime, such as housebreaking, mugging, bike theft, rape, gang violence etc. This doesn't in any way come even close to implying that they're not interested in going after the perpetrators, it implies that they're unlikely to be 100% successfulApr 20 19:32
schestowitz__    There's no point "teaching men not to rape." Not all men are rapists and not all rapists are men. This kind of prejudiced assignation of blame according to demographics is sexist. You might as well call for people to "teach african americans not to steal."Apr 20 19:32
schestowitz__    Even if all rapists were male, it still wouldn't make sense to do this: We do teach men not to rape. The idea that rape is acceptable is pure myth and fantasy. Rapists know it's not ok to rape, but they do it anyway.Apr 20 19:32
schestowitz__    The whole thing is a false dichtomy: It implies that we can either give out safety advice or try to catch criminals. The sensible thing to do is to do both.Apr 20 19:32
schestowitz__"Apr 20 19:32
schestowitz__I know of two distant friends of mine who were exploited while drunk by women who "took a ride". Women assume they'll always get away with it, but I would not classify this as rape. If done by the guys, then nowadays claims of rape might pass muster.Apr 20 19:34

schestowitz__"Apr 21 08:03
schestowitz__Part of the problem here is that we have been very sloppy with language. We spoke of Jews, when what was meant was a particular group of right-wing Jews who exercise disproportionate control over the political and propaganda operations of Israel, who oppose any territorial concessions in what they call Judea and Samaria, who offer people who've lived there for thousands of years no place to live.Apr 21 08:03
schestowitz__Calling them 'Zionists' doesn't work either, as the history shows that Zionists were far from a monolithic group.Apr 21 08:03
schestowitz__My attempt has been to try to focus on what people actually do rather than to categorize them and to show that there is a much greater diversity among Jews than we most often see. Yes, there are Jewish fascists who seem to understand their role as colonizer in all the ugliest aspects of what had been done to them in Europe over a period of centuries. But there are also others, and as I'm finding with my work on conservatives, Apr 21 08:03

schestowitz__No dice. You're claiming that it's somehow different when the Israelis do it, fine, what's different about it. Otherwise it's an empty claim.Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__Right now? Israel. What's your point?Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__Nope, not silly at all. All of the groups you mentioned are trying to racially purify a particular geographic area and aren't afraid to murder innocent people in order to do it. Frankly it's pretty silly to argue they're any different.Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__"Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__"Well then, we are all Nazis."Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__"I guess they weren't so bad then. Just kinda normal nationalists, defending themselves from people who hated them for just being born Germans and were trying to kill them for no other reason. Taking over tiny Palestine, taking over North America. taking over the world. Same thing. I feel much better now."Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__"Is Assad a Nazi? Are 150,000 dead Syrians in 3 years genocide? Is Hamas fascist? There are so many evil murderous governments in this world. But the Nazis still get first place. I wish I could spend my time opposing Israel's settlement policy rather than endlessly pointing out the obviou"Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__"obvious.'Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__"Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__@Joe: We all act like Nazis? Not me. I'm not driving anyone off their land or striving for some kind of racial purity.Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__The Nazis has their reasons, but it didn't excuse their expansionism and terrorism any more than it does the Israelis. If the only difference between the Nazis and the Israelis is the square-milage of their attrocities then you've admitted they're the same: All we're doing is haggling over the change.Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__Murderous governments are often comparable to the Nazis, yes. Although I wouldn't say they get first place, that probably goes to the Maoists.Apr 22 08:21
schestowitz__'Apr 22 08:22
schestowitz__"Racial purity??? What's that got to do with Zionism? Nothing! THAT, my friend, is Naziism, not Zionism. Learn the difference!"Apr 22 08:22
schestowitz__""The Nazis had their reasons"??? For What? Genocide? Extermination camps? Global conquest and enslavement? No they did not. Another difference. Even the Americans killed people for land. The Nazis did it for nothing. Because they were Jews. Pure hatred.'Apr 22 08:22
schestowitz__"Apr 22 08:22
schestowitz__@Joe: Given the way the Israelis are acting I'd say it has quite alot to do with Zionism. Correct me if I'm wrong, has the Israeli government suddenly decided the Palestinians have a right to live there?Apr 22 08:22
schestowitz__The Nazis did it for the same reasons the Zionists are doing it: They wanted Germany to be big, secure and filled only with Germans.Apr 22 08:22
schestowitz__Sorry, still can't see the difference. Although you have brought up another similarity: Both groups are/were partially motivated by racial hatred.Apr 22 08:22
schestowitz__"Apr 22 08:22
schestowitz__Some people in this thread must read history. There is sparingly repetition of words like "Nazi" and "genocide" when nobody points out that almost 2 million Israeli citizens are Arabs. To an outsider this thread would easily look like antisemitism.Apr 22 08:23
schestowitz__And BTW, settlers are like the AQ of Israel and they are a rabid minority (often comes from the outside) which should not be used to generalise and derive conclusion about the population as a whole, esp. under a far right wing government that's elected based on lies.Apr 22 08:26
schestowitz__The analogy wrt US is useful here, from the foundation of the country to some existing policies. But since the US is far bigger it is proportionally more aggressive against a huge number of nations. Russia is not a darling, either. And don't get me started on Britain or France :-)Apr 22 08:26

schestowitz__Frederic,Apr 24 20:35
schestowitz__Timed with Ubuntu releases?Apr 24 20:35
schestowitz__That's a sad commentary on the state of coverage of Linux.Apr 24 20:35
schestowitz__I know people were making the argument that Linux was ready for the desktop during the dot-com boom (and StarOffice was in a state where I could work with it for about 15 minutes before I had to remove and reinstall it--worthless garbage).Apr 24 20:35
schestowitz__I think there are two real problems:Apr 24 20:36
schestowitz__* Some people (my mother comes to mind, but I've also seen it elsewhere) just really are more comfortable in a Windows environment. It's what they're used to and it's too hard to switch.Apr 24 20:36
schestowitz__    The preponderance of Microsoft Office: I can't use LibreOffice in my Ph.D. program; it can't, as near as I can tell, conform to the style requirements at my school. Those style requirements even require a relatively recent version of Word (I think, but am not sure, that 2007 can meet them; I'm currently running 2013). It's not even up for consideration that people might want to use other word processors there.Apr 24 20:36
schestowitz__The result is that you can't get people to start on Linux because too many people they work with use Windows. And you can't get people to switch from Windows for the same reason.Apr 24 20:36
schestowitz__"Apr 24 20:36
schestowitz__"Apr 24 20:36
schestowitz__Garbage: I changed almost all the computers in my direct environment from Windows to Linux, including those of my mom and dad (~ 65), my former boss (f, 71), my brothers (12 & 15), …Apr 24 20:36
schestowitz__Yes, they had problems switching to a new OS, but these are not specifically tied to Linux: They experienced the same problems switching to a new version of Windows – or even to new versions of frequently used programs like browsers, e-mail- or word-processing-programs. They have all accustomed to it within 2 to 3 weeks and are now running Ubuntu without much ado.Apr 24 20:36
schestowitz__This last point is important to stress: The "it's too hard to switch" thing is no longer an argument, because most people, who have a hard time when something changes on computers (i.e. old people), complain that things change on their computer all the time no matter the OS. The switch from WIndows to Linux is not more of a hassle than those "god-forsaken updates, that always change every button!"Apr 24 20:36
schestowitz__"Apr 24 20:36
schestowitz__I agree. My parents and my wife were moved by me to Linux and Android. It took some patience and there was little resistance, but they found comfort in new envs.Apr 24 20:36
