Doesn't wondering such disqualify you as reasonably informed concerning any online culture related topics, let alone something connected to cypherpunk ideals? Pseudonyms were always the norm, it was always weirder to see somebody operating out in the open when they were plotting ways to use technology to asymmetrically alter society itself.
A NYTimes journalist? I wouldn't bet on it. The experts might be smelly nerds, they'd cramp his style.
But don't worry, they'll definitely solve this crime, because the clearance rate for impersonal crimes that don't involve family, friends or business associates is famously high. ...oh wait.
Maybe none of this way apparent to you, despite it being plainly written out in simple English, because... I don't know actually. Can you explain your failure to read?
I'm not saying this is a good or reassuring stance, just that it's coherent. It tracks with what history and experience says to expect from power hungry people. Trusting themselves with the kind of power that they think nobody else should be trusted with.
Are they power hungry? Of course they are, openly so. They're in open competition with several other parties and are trying to win the biggest slice of the pie. That pie is not just money, it's power too. They want it, quite evidently since they've set out to get it, and all their competitors want it too, and they all want it at the exclusion of the others.
This is why we can't have nice things. Juice company makes compost? Sued! Ford wants to pay his workers a living wage? Sued! Nail lawyers to trees.
It hasn't happened. The narrative of Iran being a funder of terrorism is essentially bullshit, particularly in relation to America, and no less in relation to Israel (a state founded on acts of terrorism against the British and Palestinians.)
Match my vibes, claude. The application doesn't crash, so just delete that test!
Iran doesn't use any of these to attack America. You seem to be confusing Israel for America, a common problem in American politics.
...anyway... Seriously bros, this is a war where one side is making wildly inflammatory, specific and credible threats against the civilian infrastructure of the other and this is a response to that, hardly even a response in kind. If they strike these assets it will cause financial burden for rich people, not plunge millions of civilians into darkness as the POTUS is credibly threatening to do.
Iranian attacks on US soil: Fuck all! So why is America fighting Iran? Insane ziofascist cultists picking fights on the other side of the planet to provoke the Apocalypse so they can all be raptured to paradise. (Translation: boomers are getting old and they want to see burning flesh one more time before they die.)
