They only had to blur the faces you see on the pages. Behind the curtain an entirely different scene is taking place. The originals are handed over to the authorities. You don't think that they would pass by such a great opportunity to collect some intelligence, do you?
The ownership class would like nothing better than to knock off 90% of the population. They are hoping for riots to use as an excuse. And there's also the perverted sexual gratification in the subjugation of others, despite total mechanization. And even if a revolution were successful, the winners simply morph into the thing they conquered. Nobody gives up their power peacefully.
The "western world" (Actually you should call it the "northern" world, as it is at war with southern regimes, a true war of northern aggression) is what props up "genuine authoritarian regimes" to work the commodities markets. They cannot survive on their own. Your rationalizations are weak. Try again..
Vietnam (and its neighbors) Central and South America The entire middle east (Though I will grant that the US is acting as muscle for a British operation that began in the late 19th century and continues today)
But nowadays we pretty much get the locals (Africa) to do our dirty work and chase off the competition (China).
But let's not single out the US. All the world's great powers are doing the same to extend the reach of their commercial interests. Basically the world is run by pirates, organized criminals. All governments are subservient those interests.
The major cause of war/unrest in the world isn't skin color, it's religion.
Bullshit... The major cause of war/unrest in the world is the biological quest for power and dominance. Religion is just a tool. There are many others, but religion works best on basic instincts and emotion. So, if religion is the dominant issue, it's because it works so well.
...which in both cases completely misses the point of defending people and peacefully mediating disputes by making the defender/mediator the aggressor which other must defend themselves against.

What became of the famous "gaussian blur benchmark"? What could be more universal? My personal favorite is hitting the "x^2" key on the calculator until it took more than two minutes to get a result.
Fuck Feingold. He still voted to invade Afghanistan. Barbara Lee is the better choice. She saw through this charade right from the very beginning. She stood entirely alone against this 'authorized use of force' bullshit.
They don't care if you believe them or not. Just don't "throw away your vote" on some alternative political candidate. And even if one wins, he/she will be "briefed" on the consequences of stepping out of line.
Better to narrow your focus only towards the ones actually responsible...
The people (the ordinary 'Joes') who carry out the order are the ones actually responsible, not the ones who make the order, which is nothing but words. It the action that counts, not the tongue wagging.

In this case, it's the Helsinki Syndrome.
Anyway, judging by the summary alone, Linus is right. Phony politeness will not result in real respect.
Mrs. Merkel, meet Mr. Kettle.
You mean she's just finding out who she's been sleeping with all this time?

The trick is to educate them on the issues...
Not so... The 'trick' is to appeal to basic instincts. That is how you win.

Without poor people, who will do the work?

As long as the conflict brings in its enormous profits, it will never be over. In fact the profit motive is what started and sustains the conflict.
Sorry to rain on your propaganda parade... Please continue...
Oh c'mon now. Let's make it easy for you:
Vietnam (and its neighbors)
Central and South America

We have not evolved...
Correct
Let's hope there's life after biology. It's our only escape...
This is already the case. We are under an anarchy of authority that it limited in size only by internal bickering, but the corp/state is the bully.

They want to make our lives transparent. We have to do the same to theirs. The state must live by the same rules as its subjects.
I think a quarter-billion dollar claim might cause the insurance company to raise their premiums just a tad...
Yeah, they raise our premiums for car and health insurance and let these guys off the hook.
Let me sell my shit direct.
Locked "out"? No Locked in! Or is it locked down?

"Recruiters"... That's like their HariKrishna department, right?
Me too. It couldn't a more dumb-assed comment. Yeah, it's all an accident...
No written communications. This whole writing and reading thing is overrated, and apparently can be dangerous.

Threatens 'legal action'? What's up with that?
they cant find me in the noise of a starbucks connection.
Wanna bet?
