The only way people would reliably help with the sabotage is if the group had a reputation for paying out. Kind of the same way ransomware works already- if nobody gets their data back, people will be advised never to pay

He also forgot to mention the looming threat of violent revolution exterminating the ruling class, which drove countless concessions to the average person.

>Healing and forgiveness, on both sides, must occur before reunification. I have an instinctive reaction to that type of language now - it makes me wonder if one side has dramatically more fault than the other

I think a bigger factor was that we were the good side in WWII and the bad side in Vietnam.

Just a warning: this isn't necessarily true. They'll only do it if there is a political benefit. Otherwise there is no duty to assist you.

You're the only one inventing a false binary. The US legal system locks up more people than any country on earth, and the majority of its prisoners did not do anything morally wrong. Most of them didn't even go to trial, and a hug

ANY time a supposedly insane person claims they were misidentified, it should AUTOMATICALLY trigger a detailed investigation, and I don't care at all if that is burdensome to the hospitals or police.

It just has to be a war crime to use these. A domestic army of robots is really just a foreign army on contract. They have zero loyalty to anyone who doesn't directly control them.

Similarly on Google and YouTube- nearly the entire search space for "how to pronounce xyz" has been taken over by videos of text to speech recordings that have absolutely no idea how to pronounce anything. There are huge YouTube c

Actually we all knew the NSA was doing it, and what Snowden leaked was just the proof.

Makes sense though- when you have a religious objection to alcohol, someone drinking it near you isn't going to cause actual extreme bodily harm to you.

Patent law was designed for giant companies to stop other giant companies from using their stuff. Nobody could really "publish" things on their own. And the fact that it's overbearing for normal people is now a feature rather

I don't feel like it can be much of a coincidence that there is a new branch of the US military with a currently low yearly expenditure compared to the other branches, which could potentially be the source of incredibly lucrative priva
