The bad guys would have done it anyway. That's the important part. "Good guys shouldn't make tools because bad guys might (or will) use them" isn't how we should operate. No more should we say "the [internet|source code|pen testing tools|etc] could be used by bad guys so good guys shouldn't have it."

If by "tools" you mean technology or physical infrastructure, I largely agree. But I'm talking about political tools. Breaking down the norms about how power is supposed to be wielded. Concentrating more and more power in the executive because Congress would rather be powerless and blameless than have responsibility. For example, giving the President the power to set tariffs was done with the understanding that the P…

Legal constructs are just nintendo level mario brothers obstacles for Trump to speed run lol, I remember specifically the turtle that you could jump on to get some sort of points or something.

It would be interesting to consider if there is a form of democracy such that voters themselves can't vote their way out of, I personally doubt it, rules themselves are chosen by votes. If you insist on voting for hostility for the current system of rules, there's a chance you'll win a majority and those rules can go away.

We in the US need to suck it up and accept the truth, voting Trump has consequences, doing it twice lol good luck with that.

You mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_Files These twitter files: "After the first set of files was published, various technology and media journalists said that the reported evidence demonstrated little more than Twitter's policy team struggling with difficult decisions, but resolving such matters swiftly. Some conservatives said that the documents demonstrated what they called Twitter's liberal bias... In J…

Curious that Musk's/Twitter's lawyers also said the vast majority of the claims in the Twitter Files were unfounded.

What is your explanation for that?

But since that's all been defunded by DOGE then by your own argument, it doesn't count any more. Ignoring history is a good way to repeat it, just because it didn't happen this year. Do you remember the last Vietnam War? Oh no, not the one you're thinking of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War Several hundred thousand Chinese troops invaded Vietnam with 500 tanks in 1979.

In response to Vietnam invading Cambodia... Yeah... That's not exactly imperialist aggression is it?

That's not how the Vietnamese see it.

Cruel and unusual punishment is about sentencing, after a trial. These folks didn't go through a trial. No, I don't think either person deserved fifteen years of hard labor, or five years. What actually happened is not that they were executed on the spot, no.

It's not a particularly strong argument that these agents didn't violate the 8th amendment because they violated the 6th amendment right to trial.

You mean "you're right, saying the victim was cruelly and unusually punished isn't a good argument here."

You've just presented a new argument.

Many, many people are killed by LEO each year; how many are considered 6th amendment violations? (None. LEO is not out there "administering judgement", they are responding to deadly-force encounters, guns, etc)

Oh, just spontaneously died then? You know if you play the video backwards it shows ICE applying lifesaving bullet removal techniques on Mr. Pretti and Mrs. Good

If I die in a car crash, you don't get to say the car executed me.

Words mean things.

The 65K IP addresses cost 1.638M dollars, thats alot more than they would spend doing the exact same thing today. The idea is to accept bad actors but make it more expensive and also you can directly identify cliques by IP ect.

You don't need to own them. You just need to rent the rights to send a spam message on a particular service using a proxy.

If you're sharing the IP that harms the credibility in the first place for an established system.

Yeah, but he's got a botnet of residential ips that he didn't pay for.

You're sharing the IP! That will severely harm the credibility of the poster for popular system at scale

Why would I need to explain something I never brought up? I have no idea what musk said or what his claims are. How about you provide any citation? You brought up Musk as a strawman.

You’ve multiple times claimed the Twitter files are a “nothing burger”…

The truth is that there is concrete evidence of the Biden administration, pressuring media companies to sensor specific posts about Covid that they considered harmful to the narrative. Direct first amendment violations.

You seem to not give any indication that you can have read Weiss or Taibbi’s articles.

Jack Dorsey admitted it was true. So did Zuckerberg. Wild position you seem to have forced yourself into.

show me any photo or video showing the tank man of Tiananmen actually got run over by the tank. you got brainwashed.

I don't think anyone is claiming that the specific famous tank man of Tiananmen got run over by the tank. However, there is plenty of evidence that people got "mowed down by tanks" at Tiananmen Square: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-why-is-the-arm...

you intentionally omitted the most important context here - those sad deaths happened after many army APCs and Tanks were attacked & destroyed.

too bad that China didn't embrace its Beijing Spring back in 1989.
