the best part about overwhelming surveillance, no need to go out. i'm just going to get naked and write "fuck nsa spying" on my chest in sharpie with my webcam on.
yes because everyone who ever adopts a symbol does so with full knowledge and agreement of every time the symbol has been used historically, and are secretly using it in precisely the same way, with the same context and meaning.
it's a hell of a lot harder to copy every piece of snail mail that passes through the USPS. with digital communications it's apparently not even all that expensive these days.
seems like a win/win for urban outfitters, outrage drives sales, they burn through remaining stock, while getting to say they cooperate ith prosecutor requests, and care about this scourge of the community, they get cred from both sides.
rinse and repeat, come up with a new line, maybe something in cocaine this time.
most of the "better" things they could be doing involve enslaving more americans in for profit prisons, so on the whole i'd just as soon they stuck to fapping over stupid shit like this.
seems reasonable since the man's not exactly been seen on camera, and the usage does seem weird. it seems worth questioning to me, without impunging anyone. ffs, unless you translated/transcribed it yourself and your reputations on the line, i'm not sure i understand why there's any hostility based on asking the question about the statements origins.
i'm just going to assume that's a troll, i think. or who's been so deluged with media attention that only a cursory reading was given to the story and the site.
i'd have an issue if the government tried to stop him from speaking, but if after the pages and pages of butthurt moaning someone here decided to kick him out of their yard, i've got no issue with that.
if someone stands on your front porch and gibbers incessantly at you, i'm ok with turning the hose on them. If i thought that privilege was being abused by the admins, i'd go read another website. Could be all those years of moderating boards in the asshole of the internet, but some people really do want nothing but to shit up the joint, and my beliefs in liberty nowhere require me to put up with them. I trust masnick and techdirt to use the kill switch as a last resort, because of their actions to date.
also, no one cares that you're banned. you're a boringly obsessive little failtroll. Now, when the government trys to shut down your internet access for being boring, i might give a rats ass.
i like to think i'd have gone the snowden route, and gotten myself to somewhere difficult to extradite from. but without mannings example i don't know if i would have been paranoid enough.
