Regulation didn't cause mergers. Non-enforcement of anti-trust law did. M&A's simply should not have been approved over the last few decades the way they were. You're trying to say it was the regulations that were the pro

Not as part of a domestic police action (Posse Comitatus), and under the constraint of at least directing it against enemy combatants & regulars (conventions of international warfare). Now, if either of those two are violated the calcul

It still is oppression. What many of us object to now is how starkly it's revealed the 2 tier illegitimate judicial system that on the one hand ruins grandmas and teenagers, but gives multinationals a free pass for charging everyone to

The point is that you can't escape side-channel applications of security metadata being weaponized the more you try to force ubiquity of "security" everywhere. As long as there are motivated, profit seeking attackers, you hav

A group of private investigators and strike breakers engaged by the wealthy to quell the rabble. When you hear someone talking about it being cheaper to pay 10% of the working class to keep the other 90% down, shit like the Pinkertons is al

Never let a crisis go to waste, huh? We've had the solution to shit like this, and it's called the SecurityManager in Java. No one wants to configure the damn thing, but it is there. Also, auditing the code you pull in . Yeah. Re

Narcissist's first strike: insist that the people preventing them from getting what they want are the problem, and setting the frame. All you can do is refuse to engage them in the frame, and deny them the luxury of shaping the engagem

This is why local weights are the way to go if you want to embrace the technology and successfully weaponized it against incumbents. I'm not saying you should, mind, I've only dabbled enough to get a sense of how these things will
