It makes sense that people don't want to become citizens and legitimise the entity occupying their country and committing genocide, no? > In cases where civilians are shot (what Israel defines to be civilians), there are investigati

It's not controversial, you can still have your walled garden as-is. The point of this is so that there is the possibility of escaping that walled garden, arguably welcoming more users into the ecosystem. Nothing would change for you

I don't agree. They didn't get rich by creating value. They might have created value, but they got rich by keeping that value to themselves. I would also argue that they don't create the value themselves, but their workers do

Would you protect your family? Would you protect your friends? Do they count on your protection and support (or you,on theirs)? Do you tell them to just stop begging for your help and protection and ask what have they actually done for you?

"What have the Romans ever done for us?" Monopolies are bad, and it's not because some players were not punished that others shouldn't be (they all should). Maybe this sets a precedent, and they are all targeted.
