re: #68 Obdicut

That doesn’t raise it above the level of an assertion. What is an obvious truth is that any chance for democracy has been hurt by this release. An obvious truth that you seem to want to avoid desperately.

You call it an obvious truth, I call it an assertion. No idea what despair has to do with it.

Because you’re pretending everyone else is a fucking moron who’s seriously saying that we could stop all leaks. Sure, they’re saying “We want leaks to be stopped” but that doesn’t mean they’re actually asserting that all leaks can be stopped, any more than someone saying they want rape stopped, they want corruption ended, or any other such statement is actually absolutist. Pretending that it is is weak-sauce.

Uhm, No I am not pretending any of that. I was responding specifically to specific questions.
