It's maddening to think an entire group of young men are dumb enough to think a rich douchecanoe who is by any account far from being a beacon of ethical business would be one to "drain the swamp" (to say nothing of his overall complete lack of morality). This was obvious basic populism from the start.

Duped out of an education that prioritises critical thinking skills by decades of vested interests.
I used to think that "the best way to have a controlled population is to have poor education" was a bit of a conspiracy theory in the 20th century. The 21st has corrected me on that one.
I'm not convinced you're asking yourselves the right question. Do you want revenge and punishment, or do you want a better society?
Don't get me wrong, the USA are so fucked up currently it's hard not to want to get back at those causing so much damage. I share that feeling.
But we know from evidence that prison as punishment just generates more violence and horror and doesn't create a better society. Prison as rehabilitation does a lot better towards that goal.
I think you're misunderstanding me, I'm not disagreeing with how unacceptable, reprehensible and un-fucking-ethical police behaviour is: the Police suck and are, in many cases, an unfixable organisation.
I'm disagreeing with the death penalty.
The fact that it's traditional is entirely irrelevant and, at worst, an appeal to tradition.
End the death penalty.
The death penalty is an abomination. No.
I get the sentiment, and share it to a large degree, but death penalty? WTF?
Of course they will never let it apply to themselves.
Fascist regimes delight in and depend on arbitrary enforcement of rules.
It's really a shame OpenWrt doesn't make it easy to switch to Caddy as the webserver, as its file listing feature is really decent (and it's a great webserver in general).
Yes. As I was saying elsewhere, he's a journalist reporting on tech which includes scams, so of course he did actually used a real card to test, otherwise he'd be speculating rather than investigating.
And we'd probably not be hearing about this.

We live in dynamic environments of complex interacting relationships, in case you hadn't realised, so outcomes are not binary.
The guy is a notorious rhetorical shitmuffin.
He just strings fallacies together and his crowd along.
Or, according to the person who read the article, because the case is not what the title suggests it is?
