I don't see how B) would work in this case. However, it could also simply be a huge pile of money getting burned, with a few useful innovations made along the way. I would venture to say that is the most likely outcome, actually, altho

Pretty hard to imagine that there will be anything actually "self-sustaining" on Mars anytime soon.

Maybe it's still news to some people that there's plenty of precedent for that? For every Litvinenko there is 100s or 1000s that died in more subtle ways.

You're allowed your quota of one medium-impact dissident action per week, just like everyone else. As it helps to keep up maintaining the illusion of democracy and free speech, you are actually doing your country a great service. If yo

The UK is even more one-sided totalitarian in their views on state surveillance, so you got a point there.

The only one I find surprising among those three is Soros. He's a pretty Janus-faced individual though in general, so... maybe shouldn't even find that surprising anymore.

They should be condoning it. For that, a lot of things would have to change first though, like, for example, the community has to come to the realization that the (supposed) ends do not justify the means and that it's therefore the rig

If you want to go to places where there hasn't been any terrorist attack nearby, you don't have many places to go to left. Irrational fear, a car accident is the far more likely option to die.

Voat is not "forgotten about", it just doesn't have any mainstream appeal. The activity now is mostly from groups of users that have become "unpopular" on Reddit.
