i could stand behind this rant until unexpectedly (or expectedly - this from a russian after all?) stumbling upon this:
> Flagged”? So this is how you call “disposing of someone” in a “politically correct” manner nowadays — you “flag” them. “The United States flagged 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II”. Yeah, much friendlier than: “The United States forcefully relocated and incarcerated in concentration camps about 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II”.

- ncmncm 7y agoWhat, the US imprisoning American citizens on no charges and without legal recourse or due process is not mentionable? It happened in living memory. Yes, Russia did it to uncounted millions of their own, and actually murdered many millions of those, for decades. That does not excuse US behavior: both are indefensible. The US has, at this moment, more people imprisoned than any other country. The US doesn't seem to harvest their organs, at least on a grand scale, but does engage in slavery: products stamped "made in USA" are now quite likely to be produced by enforced prison labor, particularly in Louisiana. Solitary confinement for months or years on end, and withholding medical treatment are certified torture methods, and routine practice in US prisons. The American Way is to have corporations do it under contract, somehow absolving government officials of responsibility.

- Nuzzerino 7y agoYou do realize that in the case of Github, an account suspension may prevent one from earning a reasonable living with the skills that they have? There are no social safety nets in some parts of the world, so being broke may be just as bad as <insert bad thing done by a government>.
