Now, according to BBC, Wikileaks has released another incredible piece of [the CIA] arsenal. Wikileaks reportedly released the code that the CIA uses to disguise the origins of a computer virus as a part of Vault 7.

These hacking tools reportedly include decoy languages like Russian to disguise the national origins of the cyber attack or malware. The release may disrupt the CIA's current operations and reveal previous cyber operations.

    Your response is a shallow misdirection.
    The question is, what do you value more?
    Wallowing around in the mud, constantly having the same arguments about self-evident truths and never getting beyond them because freedom.
    Or building on an accepted baseline of common ground so as to get to a deeper understanding of issues.

    Like I said originally, the smart people who want insightful discussion will go elsewhere when they realize how non-productive the first option is.
    You can call them snowflakes to make yourself feel better. But in the end the smart people will still leave and all you'll be left with is the mud and the pigs.

    What is the point of 'free speech' anyway if the only ideas heard are the lowest common denominator? Is eternal september really your highest aspiration?
