The minute any negative right (free speech, free assembly, trade, privacy etc) is used to prohibit or infringe the rights of someone else, it is at that point a crime is committed. At that point, the person violating the rights of another is treating people as things rather than people.
Eg: if you speak out against some form of injustice, or say something politically incorrect like "pick a gender, you only get two", that's free speech.
If you say a person or group need to be attacked, deprived, or threaten them in some other way, you are no longer exercising free speech. You are committing an act of incitement, and usually it's incitement to violence.
I follow the rule of reciprocity. If someone does good to you, do good to them in kind, ideally more than you received in the first place. If someone ignores you, ignore them. If someone does ill by you, that makes them fair game to suffer an equal level of nemesis.
If none existed in the US, why did I know of at least one existing in Chicago back before Trump took office? I think Glenn greenwald reported it? It would not surprise me if there was at least one in every major city.
Good summary. The reality is that as much as we want the files put live, the risks that exist are not trivial. To my eye, all this saber rattling in Europe over Ukraine is a way to try to pressure the admin, effectively saying "if you release these, we start WWIII". We need to be patient for the coming end, and trust that the white hats are actually in control
I'd love to see China try a hot war rn. They are the only army that self yeets. Seriously, their solution to desertion is to remote detonate their soldier's helmets.
Now, imagine a 20 something autistic hacker from the US breaking that encryption protocol and leveling the millions of fighting men instantly.
FAFO, China, and see what our redhats can do to your military overnight.
Regarding the refusal to fuel the navy by HB, they are most likely under contract. two things will happen to HB as a result of this:
- They will get sued by the US Navy for breach of contract
- They will lose all revenues from the US military.
Meanwhile the US can just remove protections from all of Europe as a response. "oh sorry, you want our protection? Well that's gonna be a no cuz you won't fuel us to stay there." And in all honesty, american families would be happy to have their lads back home
I confirm bullshit:
Similarly, the Virginia-class SSN submarines, first commissioned in 2004, have reactors that do not need refuelling for their 33-year service life. However, after their operational lifespan, they undergo a refuelling and overhaul process, which includes replacing the expended nuclear fuel.
They were first build 20 years ago, so none of them need refueling until 2037.
Honestly Norway, your media is legit more derp than the ms in America.
This is gonna be fun...
