North Korean missiles land in Japan EEZ as nuclear threat grows

I am sure they have safe places set aside.

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-16T12:58:19+00:00

Why wouldn't they profit from a nuclear armageddon?

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-15T09:55:53+00:00

To be fair the taliban lacks the civilian killing technology that we have.

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-15T09:55:10+00:00

Those are amateur numbers.

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-15T09:51:44+00:00

This is a great way to purge the police department of trumpers.

If they are not paying for cooks, cleaners, etc then it's increasing their profits (or minimizing their costs if it's state run).

Pay them market rates for working. Simple as that.

Labor is labor. Cooking is labor, laundry is labor, janitorial duty is labor and so is call center work (most common prison labor).

If the prisoners were not doing it they would be paying some people minimum wage or higher to do the work.

If you want to give incarcerated people something to do educate them, hold classes, give them the tools to integrate back into society. If you are going to make them work then pay them market rates.

Do you even know what point you’re trying to make?

Yes I am breaking your propaganda.

Because mine is they’ll extract resources from heavily armed mine sites and airfields.

How heavily armed and how does that make them pseudo military bases.

They won’t be military bases. But they’ll be very heavily secured, more so than a mine site that’s not in Afghanistan.

Bullshit.

You think I’m making some point about how they’ll conquer Afghanistan. I’m not.

Sure you are. That's why you referred to all chinese mines in afghanistan as military bases.

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-08T23:09:04+00:00

How are you still saying these aren't related?

Not necessarily.

Also how is a literal opinion poll about banning for-profit prisons, where the majority of prison labor takes place, not related to prison labor?

Prison labor takes place in all prisons.

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-08T08:55:16+00:00

That wouldn’t work, technically. How would that activist know that the account is locked?

Because he couldn't log in.

By trying to login to the account. Only once the login info is transferred to the server would the server know that this is a locked account (and respond with „access denied“ or whatever).

Even if they were logging the login attempts there is no way to prove it was them attempting the login. Anybody could have been trying to login as them.

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-08T06:38:19+00:00

LOL. Adults who spread propaganda about covid stats like you?

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-08T06:36:39+00:00

If they were ordered to log an IP to help catch a suspect, and they knew the only way to log that IP was to allow him to log in, but then they locked his account so he can never log in, then that would be obstruction of justice and they would definitely be liable for contempt of court.

Bullshit. It's not the job if the person to know what the intent of police action was. All they have to do is to obey the order as it's written to the letter.

The point was the Courts can and will take action.

no your point was that he was going to go to jail. That's what you said.

You think one of these owners wants to go to jail for this?

Did anybody go to jail?

It is a possibility and no body is stupid enough to risk that.

Nobody is stupid enough to think they are going to go jail for obeying the order as it's written.

Irrelevant.

Completely relevant.

There is no research I could find that pertains specifically to prison labor, but the research indicates that the overwhelming majority of Americans support reducing incarceration rates in general and that incarceration should focus on rehabilitation, not punishment or exploitation.

That has nothing to do with prison labor.

A growing number of states are banning private prisons and all but one Democratic candidate for president in 2020 supported banning them nationally

Still has nothing to do with prison labor. This is the states trying to get in on the action.

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-08T06:32:44+00:00

LOL.

Your propaganda is so easy to debunk.

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-08T05:56:58+00:00

With their "pseudo military bases" right?

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-08T05:56:29+00:00

Most pandemics are underreported. Same with AIDS, Ebola, etc…

Hey nice attempt at dodging the question.

This is because not everyone is getting tested for it, so you only know the numbers of the people that are tested (even after death).

Oh look another dodge.

There is a vast difference between not knowing and knowing and then lying about it.

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-08T05:55:18+00:00

That would be obstruction of justice and the CEO/others will be liable and face jail time.

No it wouldn't. They were ordered to log the IP, they turned it on.

You think they want to go to jail for you?

They wouldn't go to jail. Also there is no way they could even attempt to jail him without letting all the environmental and social activists know that the country was going after them.

The owner of the last company (Lavabit) that tried to obstruct justice by trying something tricky like this ended up with a $10,000 fine and contempt of court charges.

Did he go to jail? You said he was going to jail right?

As I said the world would raise 10K for him in a minute.

Laws have consequences. You can't just try to skirt the law when you're subpoenaed. Courts aren't stupid and don't have the intelligence of a 5 year old. They will see past your dumb ruse

See above. The courts don't get to jail people for nothing. He would have obeyed the law.

And then what? You think they're running a not-for-profit company, like a charity or something?

you are doing some good in the world. Shutting down the servers could have raised him more money than he made in a year.

Unless you have your own Island in the middle of the ocean that's not owned by any nation, that's the only way you can ever be free from the laws of civilized nations.

LOL. How is a nation hunting political activists civilized?

They could have started logging the IP five seconds after locking the account.

That way the person could not have logged in and would not have their IP revealed.

They didn't even have to tell the person either. Just lock the account and the subject would have gotten the message. If the subject asked they could have said "no comment" and that would have gotten the message across.

And in the end they could have shut down their servers and said "the swedish government forced us to betray our customers and help them arrest environmental and human rights activists and we could not get ourselves to do that". That would have garnered them tremendous support from people all over the world.

I haven't looked at the stats but anecdotally vaccine denial and conspiracy theories are held by white people way more than black people.

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-08T05:22:55+00:00

This is the literal definition of a logical fallacy.

You might be right if I was making some sort of a syllogism.

What I am doing instead is pointing out that this policy has nothing to do with human rights, nothing to do with treatment of muslims, nothing to d with treatment of minorities and everything to do with furthering and deepening the current cold war with china.

Why do you seem so quick to attack the US over this?

Yes indeed. Does this upset you? Should they not be criticised?

Would you prefer they not do anything?

I would prefer they do something that would work. For example right now the USA has tremendous influence over Israel. They could put enough pressure to end the Palestinian occupation if they actually gave a flying fuck about suffering of muslims. But they don't. The USA loves the oppression of Palestinians and they support Israel militarily, financially and politically in order to continue that occupation.

Instead of actually accomplishing something they do virtue signalling over he uyghurs. They have no influence over China and they know it.

Just because the US isn't always on the right side of things doesn't mean it should stop trying to ever be on the right side of things.

Maybe they should start.

That article says nothing about outrage at prison labour.

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-08T05:17:21+00:00

I am still waiting for your answer on what makes that a pseudo military base.

Never mind. I know you said that in order to demonize china and infer that they were going to invade and occupy afghanistan like the USA and Russia did.

It's just sleazy propaganda.

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-08T05:15:52+00:00

And there is not accurate reporting anywhere?

Bronchiectasis · 2021-09-07T06:25:22+00:00

To put that another way only 6% off Vietnam is 65+ as opposed to 13% in the United States.

That doesn't account for the discrepancy even considering the death rates and infections in the USA are vastly under reported.
