Sweet jesus. The phrase "This does not look good on paper" doesn't even come close to cutting it.

Every day you see something new that really makes you want to drop tungsten rods from orbit onto these shitheels.

    Don't worry... before long, we won't have access to any real information like that at all!

    That'll definitely be true in the next decade if they (replace 'they' with the name of legitimately any country) keep killing journalists and brutalising any civilians brave enough to record their jackbooted fingermen.

    That or they'll just make it so you can't view anything the powers that be have decided is 'problematic' without providing a full 3D facial scan, your full name and address, monitoring your expressions to see what you unconsciously think about it... waitaminute that's what they're already doing!

    It turns out those old geezers who believed the internet would democratise information wasn't so crazy after all... the internet was sure starting to look like it could actually do it. And now the libs are doing everything in their power to put a stop to it - all because the internet torpedoed the liberal consensus on Israel they have spent untold amounts of treasure on keeping afloat over the decades.

    Prior to the internet those who controlled the press owned public opinion.

    Yep. I'm an old... I remember what that was like and how easy it was for them because I was there.

    That's why when I see leftist pundits say, "being on the internet is not true praxis!" my eyes roll so hard I almost perform an involuntary backflip.

    The US millitary would agree. Things like the zapatistas and the ZAD movement wouldn't have been possible without the internet.

    The US millitary would agree.

    That's because they understand what the internet is... the most critical ideological battleground the human race has ever managed to create.

    Still waiting for the left to figure it out... but I'm not holding my breath.

    Kinetically destroying the ideology (killing infected people) is a method of attriting the ideology

    Gotta love the language these people use - and this is just the unclassified stuff.
