Yeah, I feel like this crowd sometimes forgets that the department of justice exists first and foremost to keep us safe.
With PyPi hosting a ton of malicious packages and malware, certainly I am not morally opposed.
- winrid 3y agoSame with the dozen street cameras at every intersection in China, right? Right? :)
- unethical_ban 3y agoIt's truly disheartening to see examples where someone (presumably a real human) thinks that all law enforcement, across all nations and times, and in all cases, are equal.
- asynchronous 3y agoWell when the convergence looks like it’s on the horizon, call us paranoid.
- winrid 3y agoI didn't say equal, did I?
- willdr 3y agoThey are equal insofar as they exist for the same purpose.
- smolder 3y agoYou could reasonably argue it exists foremost to keep wealthy, well-connected people and organizations safe, and to punish their adversaries.
- Vervious 3y agoThat’s a different argument, though. And it’s a hard argument to make; nowhere in the Constitution does it say “Justice for wealthy people only.” The intent of the Justice system is not nefarious; it merely exists to enforce the law. I reject the vibe that “law enforcement bad, freedom good, tear it all down.” It is not at all constructive or thoughtful. I fear that people are forgetting that everyone is really on the same side, that we do really want to prevent crimes, and fairly and equitably. It’s ok to want a more fair and equitable Justice system, but in my opinion the solution is not to attack every law enforcement action with emotionally charged language.
