You’re conflating a license to use something granted without charge and something actually free to the public. Licenses come with terms, public resources only come with social pressures of fair use. It is unfair for SeriousCompany to preten

In such a world (which is, by any means likely ever to be available, impossible), we’d still run against the issue that the state has the authority to kill people. This world would also have to be free of political corruption, and be so pol

That’s one way to define “local,” and in fairness to you, it is the most popular. But the other way of looking at local production - not unlike times before globalized agriculture - had one’s diet actually match the climate available. Perha

Compromising informants working for a foreign government invading another foreign land is not a crime, nor much of a moral dilemma. The risk inherent to collaborationism is also not one anyone but the informant must account for. Just as mer

The comparison to slavery is rather distasteful. Both by recognizing actual slavery and by the simple reality of public service being a profession, not a sentence. Your right to health compels tax resources to be spent caring for you, not e

The right to a gadget and the right to health are incomparable on a number of levels. Even besides that, women’s suffrage is less than a century old in most places, and just about in the rest. Gay rights are even younger. Health, women and

Ah! You’re your own Jerusalem; ever in the middle. :) That does make more sense: unless I read you wrong, leftism wasn’t a real sway here - and that’s easier to square away. Leftist Zionism is (as far as I can tell), almost only advanced by

US support, extraordinarily stalwart as it is, has shown its first cracks. Western allies are considerably less religiously motivated, or defense-industrial-linkage motivated, and can’t be counted on in the same way. Recent ICC news can be

Out of idle curiosity, how did you arrive at Zionism from a non-jewish and leftist background? That has to be one of the rarest identities to simultaneously associate with.

The degree of security theatre at airports aside, surely you don’t think public transit should suffer TSA-style security to warrant a solution to that self-imposed problem?

Have you considered leaving this society where people value libraries for one without taxes? It might suit you better. As per tools, you benefit from having a community that doesn’t needlessly spend on tool duplication or rental, which ulti

Hard agree; there is no reason anyone under ten even needs to know the internet exists. It’s a disservice to their development as well.

The “also” implies relatedness. It is a broader trend in the music industry. For a specific example with Spotify, you might recall the Drake promo debacle from 2018; where “Scorpion” was so thoroughly pushed on to users that refunds for Spo

NATO already won; it has expanded and defence commitments are up, and that is besides the renewed raison d’être Russia has leased it. The US defence industry has seen a minor win, too. It will reap the long-term win of new NATO accessions.

No, the American system is measurably worse. Dying destitute of a preventable cause is a uniquely American phenomenon contrasted to Western nations with socialized healthcare within capitalist frameworks. And as far as I know, Cubans have i
