Well, that's because slow collapse is what is happening. And you are not allowed to point it out. There's too many overproduced elites, and if you are not willing to play ball, there's 80 guys willing to "denounce"

I think the impact of OSS is much smaller now that most people use their devices as web browsers to interact with cloud applications. It's still important, but just a small part of the puzzle, rather than a game changer like it was bef

I think it's the same as groups like Al-Nusra Front in Syria, those are the types of groups willing to do the fighting even if they are ideologically stinky, so we will support them for now so they can do the fighting, and then try to
