Things that are wrong when one brand does it are also wrong when the state switches brands.

Well of course. So try him on that.

Well yes, I do agree with this. I wish people were more up front in these situations. But it's not easy because the waters are so muddied. But yeah, you're absolutely right (typing that phrase now makes me feel like an LLM).

Oh wow, last night I was just listening to his commentary on "All the President's Men" (which came up a couple of weeks ago here on HN when we were talking about ratfucking). Great movie, great commentary.

This always happens though. Every time someone is thrown in a cage unjustly, the state tries to redirect us (yes, us, here in this forum and others like it) to look at other details of the situation, whether it's details of the person

Great observation. And it might even bigger than that: the wonder of the digital world may be retrospectively giving us unfair expectations of meatspace uptime.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting here; I don't think I made that a prerequisite of any theory. Frankly, it sounds now like _you_ are the one defending the existence of megacorps and states, on the basis that nobody else wi
