Uzi battled Nissan motor company because the company thought they had the right to take the domain from a man who had registered it because it's his surname. Nissan Motors should have been slapped with a massive punitive fine for that, but instead they continued to bleed Mr. Uzi Nissan of his resources by suing him repeatedly.

Nissan/Nisan has apparently been the first month of spring in the Hebrew calendar for millennia. And it was borrowed from the Babylonians/Akkadians/Sumerians so I assume it's considerably older in origin.

Does one guy whose name it happens to be really own it more than Nissan Motor Company?

I wonder if Mazda has faced any objections from Zoroastrians.

In the scheme of ethical philosophy there is, pretty much by definition, the most extreme position of "might is right". The principle text on which is attributed to one "Ragnar Redbeard" [1].

Before they recognized either, they recognized the ownership of human beings as property and specially allocated those human properties as fractional humans.

You really can't see how a reasonable person could just type in nissan.com, see car ads, and click on them in confusion? Really?

If you're the type to randomly type in nissan.com, you're also the type to know that you want to buy a Nissan.

> If you're the type to randomly type in nissan.com, you're also the type to know that you want to buy a Nissan.

Fortunately the courts didn't agree with your hypothesis. This is a clear-cut case of trademark violation.

And shooting someone who is trying to kill you or your family is an exercise in individual sovereignty. The point is self defense in the face of people who would dominate you, tell you to do things you don't want to do or know are not morally right.

"Shoot people who tell you to do stuff you don't want to do" is the superior Christian alternative to might makes right... strongly suspect trolling.

Appeal to emotion, therefore your point is invalid... Didn't expect to read something this vapid on HN. You may as well have said they owned slaves and therefore their ideas are forever wrong.

I would suggest you actually read about the strategy behind the 3/5ths clause; everyone that invokes that as invective merely signals his/her ignorance of that context.

> even had the gall to leave one of their first bottled brews at my great great grandfather's gravesite. That's a weird thing to do. I can see wanting to steal an established brand because people are attracted to legacy, especially in the case of something like brewing. But leaving a tribute at his grave is, honestly, just bizarre behavior. Are the obsessed or something? Do they think they have some connection to you…

They probably didn't just leave the bottle there, my guess is that they have pictures of this which are used as marketing material.

According to the proprietor, he claimed that when he went back X days later, the bottle was gone. He took this as a sign that "he liked it". This is a quote from a newspaper.

I agree with you but honestly if it was another person named Toyota who purchased toyota.com, they would definitely be pursued/sued by Toyota as well. Large Corporations are powerful and will do everything they can to get what they want. It just happens to be Nissan in this case. So I wouldn't treat them any different than the others to be honest.

>Large Corporations are powerful and will do everything they can to get what they want

that may be so, but it doesn't make it a good thing, or something we should accept. corporatism is bleeding the world dry, and nearly everyone seems content to sit back and watch. corporations will be corporations, we lament, but resolutely fail to do anything about

The notion of inalienable human rights is, specifically, opposed to democracy. Democracy needs to be subordinated to that more fundamental principle. They are often associated only because places where democracy is strong also tend to acknowledge human rights, at least in the abstract. (Obviously autocrats will not acknowledge it.) But it was, and is, often not so. Ask any Jim Crow victim. Or widow of a police violen…

I think your outrage over specific transgressions got the better of you, turning you to black-white thinking. It's a fallacy. If someones right got trampled, that is something to take to the court. The law is there to protect the single man or minority from 'the terror of the majority'. That's why we mean with democracy not just the ability to vote, but also the rule of law . We also mean the trias politica: law maki…

Ask Emmett Till about that. Well, you can't, because he's dead. His (admitted -- boasted, really) murderer was acquitted in a trial by a jury of his peers. The murderer's. None of Emmett's, of course.

So, no. Democracy or something like is generally a prerequisite for the notion of rights to even have meaning. But it absolutely does not demand them. Each has to be fought for over many generations. You have to hope your democracy lasts long enough for that. Often enough a neighboring autocrat crushes it.

The US has always fostered a strong undercurrent of fascist attitude toward the outside world, and toward its underclass.

And if there’s anyone wondering if this is hyperbolic… don’t take anyone’s word for it here on HN, the nazis were quite clear that they took inspiration from the US.

The irony of fighting Nazis with a segregated Army was not lost on anyone. Excepting most of its own officers, of course.

No. Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria.

This is low effort, and misguided. They are specifically not instances of might makes right. Perhaps you have been reading some Kremlin troll factory created and amplified content, that could take root in an already suspicious ground.

Low effort what? It's reality. You've got some blinkers on.
