    I agree but I’d also add that this doesn’t automatically make them bad people, just people who aren’t’ compatible with you.

    I’m not defending them, It’s entirely possible they are bad people, but it’s not a given.

    What i mean by this is that it’s not necessarily because of some flaw with you or them, it can just be that you don’t match up right now(or ever).

    I think it’s important to understand that sometimes the only way to find out if you match is to try it and see, it sucks when it doesn’t work out but the alternative is never really finding out if it could.



  • If you’ll notice I mention the biggest offenders and/or the the underlying management infrastructure.

    Private jet owners getting systematically luigi’d would also fall under that remit, I was just using data centres as an example.

    Oil rigs, Nestlé, blackrock etc would also all work , with varying degrees of efficacy and difficulty.

    To address your argument directly, before you get all preachy think of the actual consequences of major data centres going down, all the critical infrastructure running on said data centres would also go down.

    That’s air traffic control, shipping and logistics ,and yes, agriculture; any system relying on cloud services running in those data centres

    If you pick the right ones and do it properly (a competently executed strategy, if you will) then you could cripple most industries, with all the consequences that brings.






  • Stating something is true with no supporting argument other than “I said so” followed by some shaky(at best) logic doesn’t leave much in the way of conversation points.

    But lets give it a go.

    Firstly there was no demand or proposal for any demographic to partake in the activity mentioned.

    Secondly, assuming the first point wasn’t true, by your rationale there would be no way to mention any activity without it being a suggestion that all current recipients must immediately perform said activity, which it patently ridiculous.

    Thirdly, the suggestion that you are a best in class mental gymnast isn’t a thought terminating cliche, perhaps you could claim ad hominem but as I said before ,“I’m right, because reasons” doesn’t leave many conversational avenues open.





  • Indeed, in a working ideal model(see below for more on this*) of society the police exist to enforce the rule/spirit of law equally to all people.

    ICE should ostensibly be a federal branch that is held to account by the government as a whole and deals specifically with customs and immigration related issues.

    Citizens with no customs or immigration issues aren’t really part of that mandate so it should be handed off to the relevant authorities that do in fact deal with that type of ‘crime’.

    Things are so far removed from that, that ICE is effectively running on gang/gestapo rules at this point and the government is actively encouraging it.

    * So, by working ideal model i’m describing a point of view using traditional ideals of fairness and law, that assume the system is working towards that ideal.

    The current system is not at all set up that way, so even if it seems batshit , this might actually be the system working as intended by the current sitting majority power (or if you’re really cynical like me, capitalism as a whole).

    So not only are you fighting to move the overton window in a direction that resembles the storybook ideals of fairness and equality, you are also fighting the existing imposed status quo.

    Indeed, but my comment was a reply to another poster who was implying a specific metric.

    I was just trying to point out that metric isn’t the same for everyone, even a composite metric will differ person to person
