Pure hatred is much more organic in nature.
No one gives a shit.

The real problem.

Godaddy.com informed teh Stormer that they will not host the site in 24 hours.  Do you think this is a dual attack on Stormer or that Anonymous is taking credit for what Daddy did?

Or.... that Stormer is going to blame the Globalist Anonymous for the attack in an effort to have another reason to be aggrieved..  I actually think this is the most likely scenario.

I wonder who funds all these progressive organizations?

Democracy for America, Working Families Party, Resist Here, Progressive Change Campaign Committee, OurRevolution, People's Action, Courage Campaign, #AllOfUs, United We Dream, MoveOn.org, Pantsuit Nation, Town Hall Project, iAmerica, #MarchForTruth, UltraViolet, IfNotNow, People Power, CREDO, Center for American Progress Action Fund, Brand New Congress, SEIU, CODEPINK, Peoples Climate Movement, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, CPD Action, Stand Up America, Emerge America, National Domestic Workers Alliance, Moms Rising, RISE Stronger, Democracy Spring, FIRM, Demos, Sunrise Movement, Spread The Vote, Stand.earth, Our Climate, People For the American Way, Food & Water Watch, NextGen America, Action Together Network, New Leaders Council, Run for Something, Corporate Accountability International, Moms Demand Action

Corporations are threatened by losing money, and are encouraged by potential profit - so they work to act in ways which produce profit, like working via lobbyists to not taint their reputation, yet curry favour with members of government.
 
Lobbyists are simple: they're threatened by policies which lose their employers money, and are encouraged by policies which gain their employers money - so they influence until their employers are supported according to their intended goals.

Members of government are threatened by lack of public support (necessary to win votes) and lack of corporate support (necessary to profit), and are encouraged by potential profit. 

You have a cycle which exists because America's population is proud/naive/uneducated/oblivious (pick any) enough that the threat of lack of public support can be subdued by simply lying and hiding self-serving actions which far favour corporate support over public support, since the public can be fooled, and corporate favour yields greater compensation. How do you break this cycle, when the only threat is minuscule due to a people who have taught the powers that be, that they do not need to consider them? 

The more I think about this, the more precarious and finite the American empire seems to be.

The decline of the American empire began with the invasion of Iraq and Bush/Cheney selling their souls for the surveillance state, secrecy (22 million missing emails) and extraordinary rendition with torture.

Instead of condemning Nazis,  Trump condemns a black businessman for condemning said Nazis. 

America. 2017.

Latest tweet from the vacationing President Trump folks....

Luther Strange of the Great State of Alabama has my endorsement. He is strong on Border & Wall, the military, tax cuts & law enforcement. Heading to Washington this morning. Much work to do. Focus on trade and military. #MAGA 
The Obstructionist Democrats have given us (or not fixed) some of the worst trade deals in World History. I am changing that fast!  Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!

Any comment from Ben Carson regarding Charlottesville? Can someone go wake him up and ask him what is like working for a racist, white nationalist? Please.
