definition of treason.
- RajT88 1y agoThank you for demonstrating you have not looked up the definition of Treason in the US legal system. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artIII-S3-C1-2/ALDE_00013525/ https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artIII-S3-C1-...
- tylerchilds 1y agoso if i understand exactly correctly it would not be treason for drone armies of automated bots deployed in the field because they aren’t human? if there were the same number of people standing on street corners collecting the same data as ring doorbells and waymos in san francisco, to sell for political and military applications, where does the treason begin? how many humans need to conspire to erode democracy for it to count to your standards?
- RajT88 1y agoNo. Because we are not at war, and have not been since WWII. Treason requires a war.
- tylerchilds 1y agohang on, the US has not been at war since WWII?
- RajT88 1y agoYep. Messed me up too when I learned that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by_the_Un... Matches the last treason charges too. WWII was the last time anyone was charged (and convicted) of treason.
- tylerchilds 1y agoah yeah, that helps a lot— this conversation has really driven home the meaning of “the post-war era” likely, we’ll never be at war again based on how we now do conflicts, waging language semantics and syntax no war, no treason, no problem we are evolved, there is no war in Ba Sing Se
- RajT88 1y agoLet's hope. Our "wars" post WWII, as bad as they were, were nowhere near the nightmares of the first two world wars.
- tylerchilds 1y ago100% agreed.
- tylerchilds 1y agohey yo, sorry to bother you, but just circling back after the news today the constitution being edited was “a coding error” if it wasn’t though, no assemblage of men, still no treason.
