No. The US government should stay out of other countries business’. They should even stay out of NATO. But again, I’m sure you don’t have that level of consistency.
I’m an anarchist. The US government shouldn’t exist in the first place.
Does your anarchism extend to the aforementioned left leaning foreign governments?

Yes, like the peace they've brought to Middle Eastern countries like Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, etc. Do you enjoy living in the free part of world that you can access hacker news, protected by US? you do realize that by fighting communism and dictatorships, sometimes grey areas appear, and lives are lost. Only naive people sees world as black and white. Again, if you don't like it, move to one of those dictatorshi…
Iraq is on this list after the US invaded, deliberately destroyed a ton of civilian infrastructure, started a war that lasted 8 years, and killed half a million people?

#44Usually advertising partners are pretty chill about their $320,000 branded hashtag campaigns promoting Al Qaeda content, concerning to see this.
Perhaps advertisers controlling all the information most people see is a bad thing? That document is one of the most important things written during the Global War on Terror and it’s a primary source. It gives insight into his mindset, what made him angry, why he did this. Yet the document didn’t have a significant impact on the course of events, it has minimal propaganda value. It’s a very important document to read…
One could almost say our former president warned us previously about the devastating Jewish control of capital and about a day that would come when it would enslave us.
Alternatively, we can recognize the blood soaked arena that is the intersection between capital, government, and political interest, letting us empathize with the team(s) of the short form video equivalent to Twitter not wanting the responsibility of distributing UGC insight into the mind behind 9/11 while running a business already under scrutiny.
The minimal propaganda value of Osama bin Laden on Israel-Palestine can always be read courtesy of the USG: https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ubl2016/english/To%20the...

Oh this is hilarious. Not only do you confirm that you wouldn't support them doing what they choose to with their service in the absence of government intervention, you would actively support the same government intervention you pretended to be against if it meant you could force them to do something you benefit from. If you wanted to prove that consistency wasn't exclusive to me you've done a pretty poor job. Combin…

We've banned this account for using HN exclusively for ideological battle. Regardless of your ideology, that's not what HN is for, and it destroys what is for.
Normally I'd warn someone before banning, but (a) I couldn't find a single comment in your account history that wasn't like this, and (b) you've been breaking other site guidelines regularly as well, such as the ones against snark, name-calling, and so on.

Perhaps having lived close to Saudi Arabia, your comment is asinine and reflects a true a true misunderstanding of the region and the US government and other Western powers influence within it, past and present.
I lived there six plus years, why don't you go there and report back what you learned?
This is akin to speaking lazily about hardware and software engineering lazily on this site contradicting many available resourced and not expecting to be called out. It is expected though by me here and elsewhere. Studying languages and regional politics is just as much a speciality as computer science, but many in the US write it off, especially for Arab studies. It's why I pivoted from that expertise into IT and security since people with that expertise especially are not in government influencing or implementing sound policy based on that discipline. So this year's news has not been a surprise to me or my colleagues at all.
