I am sure after learning this all Americans will take to the streets and after a massive protest the government will defund CIA and prosecute everyone responsible for the related crimes. Right?
And if that doesn't happen, European companies will cancel American accounts, IKEA will close shop here, GOG will refuse to sell games in US, etc, etc. Right?
Because, as I've learned on HN in the last two weeks, all citizens are responsible for what their government is doing, regardless of their knowledge or level of support for the practice.

- PoignardAzur 5y ago> Because, as I've learned on HN in the last two weeks, all citizens are responsible for what their government is doing, Yup. They absolutely are. There is no way the US's long history of human right abuses would have gone on for so long if the american people weren't fundamentally okay with it. Doesn't mean anything will be done about it.
