You allow posts about mass surveillance technology yet it's supposed to remain apolitical.

Disgusting

Of some note: some Rust core teams have already moved, piecemeal, official core team discussions to Discord, and are trying to get this done in a broad way:

"Germany is the other Nation most in the eye of the world. Germany tried to unify its nation via taking over Austria. Germany’s religion is not what it should be. “German race pride has now become a topic of the day.

To keep up the purity of the Race and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the Semitic Races – the Jews. Race pride at its highest has been manifest here. Germany has also shown how well-nigh impossible it is for Races and cultures having differences going to the root, to be assimilated into one united whole, a good lesson for us in Hindustan to learn and profit by.” - Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar We, or Our Nationhood Defined

This won't happen, the ruling coalition and PM have a long history of Hindu nationalist mob violence. Before modi became PM he was banned from the US for addicted that happened while he was governor of an Indian province with tacit approval. The RSS, the paramilitary wing if the BJP, openly takes inspiration from Nazis and Hitler's violent nationalism.

It'd probably be smaller because they'd have no domestic tech industry and be on Google Apple FB like everywhere else

People like to say that, but in practice it's not true and hasn't been for over a century.

Maybe "many people here" feel that what our military does has little to nothing to do with defending our country, and often puts us at more risk and/or makes the world a worse place.

This is such a weird and controversial concept to so many people here.

If google co-operates with teaching kinematics to Chinese teenagers, many of those teenagers may grow up to use them to shoot rockets at the US.

Yeah it's almost like a lot of people really just want everyone to shutup and accept how things are.

What's the agenda? Why don't you people just say what you think instead of making ominous noises?

I just kind of assumed they did. Also the sibling indicates this might be a troll so I'm taking the whole thing with a grain of salt.

That's... If I ran a forum that was supposed to be moderated like HN I'd ban someone like that. This is Reddit-tier copy-pasta or YouTube "Social Experiment" garbage.

Don't worry, the American Enterprise Institute and other business groups have produced plenty of educational material on how unions work.

I see what you're doing, and it doesn't make any sense. I just said I didn't like a pointless display of emotion, and so you do a "satirical" emotional appeal?
