Re: I bet these "activists" are funded by George Soros attempting another "color" revolution.
Apparently Soros runs half the world. Nobody opposing the various flavors of social and political far right ever had an idea without Soros. And all facts are invalidated because where the information came from, no matter how verifiable.
Not sure also what is wrong with anti-authoritarians protesting and resisting self-admitted authoritarian governments.
So the other half of the story is what "you bet". Which should always be given equal time to facts.
Yeah, that's what this article was about: Fawning over Bill Gates. @@
Also, I am so sure this is why he donates funding to ResearchGate. He just knew there were infringing works there and wanted to get on some bandwagon or other to seem hip and relevant and pretend to "subvert copyright".
On another note, he never would have been in a position to make a lot of money off of things that also happen to be copyrighted if he had not been busy digging through other people's code and straight up violating copyright himself. So, whatever on that front. That's just how the players play.
So maybe you should take your dog and pony show elsewhere, eh? Another clown with oh-so trenchant observations everyone else is just too blind or deep in denial to see. It is to laugh.
When former or current members of a faith have an issue with the "secret" operations manuals and teachings... they are supposed to what, just talk about it while some won't even believe it, and others mount disinformation campaigns against it? This is no different than leaking any other government or corporate information.
This isn't about someone making money off of someone else's marketable product, or even just a bad attempt to control a market. It is merely a silencing tactic. An attempt to remove corroboration for what many know (and have lived) already.
You should talk to the farmers in several states that proposed or passed legislation for going after illegal migrant workers with a vengeance. Those farmers got what they deserved, but it hurt both the availability of produce and the economy. And that actual cheap labour is the vast majority of the illegal immigrants (or simply migrants). That cheap labour is why we can both produce and afford food. There are no damn "Americans" lining up for these jobs.
I also assume you are a 100% First Nations person, yes?
Bonus question: What are your feels about the US and its corporations colonizing, occupying, or meddling in the affairs of so many other nations since its inception? I mean, aside from everything within the current boundaries of the US.
That's the thing with certain mindsets. All real costs are externalized, and the only concern is for one's own paycheck, taxes, or profits. Doesn't matter how we got to a place where you were even able to enjoy those things in the first place.
They have already claimed their Right Not To Be Known At All. Further, their Right To Forget things like the Constitution and all other manner of hindrances allowed them to innovate in this legal space.
The Bridge _and_ the Tubes are all on the Information Superhighway. The one lane covered bridge was annexed through Immanent Domain, but by golly GTF off my lawn! Especially you Pokey-wotsits.
I think there is also a fee for the roads they will never build, but swear they are going to, sometime, so they can charge the fee. Though they have not ever, yet. (And some of them are owners of a prior transportation system that did the same, for even longer.)

"Capitalism" is also a strawman, because regulation or no, capitalism as practiced does not operate on the theory which gives it its name.
