    In other news, the US refuses to assure UK judges that they won’t execute Julian Assange.

    A ‘State’ is not inherently bad. That’s just libertarian propaganda/dogma. Self-interested psychopaths in charge of a state is bad…

      Funny thing about ancap libertarianism is that they’ve correctly identified that power can lead to tyranny, but they’re completely oblivious to the power that corporatism (the conclusion of lassez-faire capitalism) results in.

      States always wind up being run by self-interested psychopaths.

      That’s not a “flaw;” it’s the fundamental nature of the concept.

        We need a strong authoritarian leader and a massive police force to keep the people in line.

    False equivalence is false— but, sure, anything to make espionage seem OK

      Seeing as this was posted in c/privacy, I believe the intent was rather to say “actually that whole ‘nothing to hide nothing to fear’ premise government espionage programs enjoy thrusting on their citizens is patently bullshit, and they know it, as despite saying it to you while spying on you they make it illegal to spy on them.”

        Using paranoia to justify a logical fallacy - and espionage - isn’t a very good argument.
