This was my thought too. When the government really wants corporations to toe the line, suddenly there's no problem with "piercing the corporate veil" and other such equivocations. They know what works - threaten executives with prison. The solution exists and is applied already. For other things such as polluting the environment or misusing citizens private data... the truth is government doesn't really care.
> They know what works - threaten executives with prison. The problem is that it works too well . As you can clearly see, the solution basically everyone individually applies is to stay clear of anything that might be an issue by several miles. If you apply the same reasoning to things like private data handling, little things like just shipping stuff will be prohibitively expensive, as no one will want to handle pri…
There's no proof that your catastrophic imaginary scenario would actually happen. Just "if you do what I don't want to it will be the end of the world". Convenient unprovable claim. Financial transactions happen all the time and are plenty cheap, they just don't do any with sanctioned entities.
You're claiming if data protection laws had actual teeth, google would close up shop and everyone would just go home and not do business anymore. That's laughable. Nobody would claim such BS in good faith.

> "Chemical weapons are not "technically" WMD, the entire discussion around WMD at the time concentrated on chemical weapons." False. The Bush administration's case centered on mobile biological weapons labs, aluminum tubes for nuclear centrifuges, and claims of active production facilities. Colin Powell's UN presentation focused heavily on alleged bio-weapons and nuclear programs. Chemical weapons were a minor part…
> Seriously, you trigger me with your absurdity and logical incoherence. sighs. I replied for other people, but you are on your own now. Take your own suggestions and execute them. I could continue to counter your arguments which are either cherrypicked or false, and the fact you blame me for moving goal posts, when you had done so yourself.

Historically, the rounding-up were not meant to straight-up murder people, but to get rid of undesirables.. Now, if we read the original parent post wrote: > [..] the stakes go up: $1M USD fine and up to 20 years in federal prison. [..] you, the manager or executive in charge, and anyone else who is in the know on the transaction is now facing 20 years in federal pounding-in-the-ass prison if they don't immediately c…
Oh that's an easy one - at least in the US... Democrats and anyone who has ever expressed an "anti-fascist/anti-fascism" opinion online - or attended a recent protest... Their "regime" leadership has stated as much.
> Their "regime" leadership has stated as much.
That's the scary part. They are not even trying to hide anymore.

Your whole post is war propaganda to justify how "the enemy" needs to be blocked and attacked. Analyze who have perpetrated most invasions ("military operations" if you like euphemisms) in the last 40 years and you'll be surprised who you'd need to "block" given your logic. Of course, you won't block yourself because it's convenient to be a jingoist when it doesn't affect you.
> Analyze who have perpetrated most invasions ("military operations" if you like euphemisms) in the last 40 years and you'll be surprised who you'd need to "block" given your logic. I have. It was Russia. They are indeed blocked and I am not surprised. > Of course, you won't block yourself because it's convenient to be a jingoist when it doesn't affect you. No, I won't block myself because my little country has not i…
Lol. That's a bold faced lie. Not even a biased llm will support that.

Totally agree. But tbf you look at modern media and these things are still perpetuated. Just look at violence done on camera and off camera in TV shows and to whom. Which jokes are made and about whom - many don't even notice because it's so acceptable to treat a class, gender, etc a certain way that it doesn't even cross anybody's mind.
To be actually fair, the notion that OP's comment was referring to only men is entirely left to the reader to decide. Women can be SA'd in prison by other prisoners, and additionally have to contend with the petty humiliations from guards taking unnecessary sexual turns that they wouldn't with men.
Yes, fair, but also keep in mind that 93% of American prisoners are men and 99% of rapists are men.
The problem is decidedly a male one just because of the demographics.
Obviously a terrible thing either way.
