We will learn that so much of their power comes from a docile society acting in predictable ways. They have the privilege of being able to concern themselves with how to influence us… not because that’s a privilege in its own right, but because they can afford to while relatively unhampered. Like if the sea and land were at battle, it’s akin to the land fortifying its sand armory, sand castles, sand moats, sand… a privilege the land can afford, only because it convinced the sea to lower its tide. We will learn, they’re a lot more vulnerable than they would like us to believe.
Every second we can get them to spend thinking of their own defense, is a second we saved in our favor [which would surely have otherwise been spent determining how to further influence our behaviors].
Man if more people around that area knew how much $$$ was in that warehouse with no power or working CCTVs.

If you only knew how fortified an AWS DC would be in that area. It's gonna fail-secure, and getting in will require leverage.
Yes please
I never thought a reactionary repressive theocracy could be so based.
I mean it really isn‘t based. Not at all. But it surely does what you expect to happen when you keep poking in a hornet’s nest.
Breaking Amazon's stuff automatically makes one at least somewhat based. Fuck Amazon.
I will not congratulate a terror regime that murders it‘s population in the thousands but I see the irony in big tech supporting Trump and now get to feel the consequences.
