Who voted that down? Did I disagree with your favorite commercial media journalist? So sorry for the faux paux. So embarrassed. Will make mental note to pick extra cotton from your master's salt mines when my time comes to leave the shed next month. Hoping to save enough bitcoin to buy a generator for warm water to keep my niece alive. Blessed be! But what about THIS cat vid, cultural commentators? Amirite? That calico almost looked like a foreigner. Can you imagine!
Because Flat-Earthers are valid and we should allow their input into a world where microwave ovens can be electronically hacked from a world away and where Kim Kardashian is the bee's knees.
I am all for the "wisdom of the ancients", but I wish more folks were willing and able to find a new, better solution than a Baskin & Robbins variation of anything ago. Meaning Libertarianism and Social-Anarchism and anything else that looks great on paper only in the Cliffs Notes version. Vanilla is vanilla, and the world is falling the fuck apart already no matter how many college juniors praise Chomsky. Outside the box or walk.
Right on. The way I always saw it was that the NSA were the thieves, collecting data they did not own. Snowden, while accused of stealing secrets, actually set them free.
If I remember correctly, Snowden himself said in Citizen Four that intelligence agencies use aliases for assets and not targets. Which would mean that if any agents had actually been named in the docs, their masters saw them not as assets but as potential targets, which is damning unto itself.
The talk of need for separation of Church and State is one thing (and absolutely valid), but I think the largest threat to the world, indeed the largest threat the world has ever known, is the marriage between (American) State and (American) Industry. That's what the Snowden leaks have verified most.
No it's not. You can support your family without enabling an evil corporation in sneaking billions in tax evasion schemes. Greed destroys. Capitalism destroys. No paint job fixes that.
