Oof that sucks I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for explaining that, I was trying to understand where the disagreement was and was getting really confused. Good luck on the recovery!

In every way

You seem to be replying to someone else entirely.

I am saying plainclothes officers are absolutely a form of secret police, and regular police are arguably a form of secret police. I didn't think that before but you and Enkrod have unintentionally made a very strong argument that is the case.

You are correct it's all just word games, but it's a game that seems to have you pretty riled up. Why?

Depends on the patent.

Not how that works, stop talking out of your ass (Gottschalk v. Benson)

It's not "my definition of theft", it's "theft".

You keep switching between moral and legal arguments. They are not the same.

It's like these capitalists of today saying that OSHA needs to go because they're losing profits to it

Deflection

You strike me as

Strawman

you decided to call me an idiot

Literally mirroring your words back at you

Is your face okay after walking into the point that hard and not seeing it?

What does "de jure" mean?

By that definition all police are secret police. Hell, most government workers due to qualified/complete immunity.

de jure unbound by constitutional limits

That by definition makes it lawful and by definition is operating "inside of it".

Taken very seriously while it's economy is in shambles and it's military is depleted to the point of relying on Soviet era relics?

That "short time" and odd date range (January to April) should both be red flags to be highly suspicious of them taking credit for external factors and cherry picking data/date ranges.

My analysis was based on taking them at face value as being the sole reason for the change, with the knowledge that the numbers they are reporting are highly deceptive. Even from that naive perspective their numbers are bad.

However, the data shows a sharp increase in the murder rate starting around 2014 due to unknown causes. The dropoff from 2010-2014 is often attributed to the defeat of the CIA backed Shower Posse gang after the Tivoli incursion in 2010.

I would bet that the current high murder rate is due, in part, to IMF loans (starting in 2013), global transition away from sugarcane to beets (predominantly EU in 2015), CIA involvement and COVID tourism impacts dramatically destabilizing the local economy. That's something that no amount of killing by the government sanctioned cartel will have any positive impact on.

Copyright exists to create a temporary monopoly so the creator can recoup their creation costs and some profit on top

Creation costs like the cost of an advanced degree? You're repeating talking points like nobody's heard them before and contradicting yourself every other comment.

How many transition steps are needed

That was a rhetorical question, let me try rephrasing that. If A+B+C=D and D+E=F is A a requirement to get F? Or is it no longer relevant because it's 2 steps removed?

Let's say my company gets funding to disseminate OSHA information to employees

I wish I got paid to avoid fines. I understand that is how your deeply corrupt system works but you really can't understand the financial incentives there can you? Imagine that illegal parking is a huge problem so instead of parking tickets they pay everyone who owns a car to sit through a parking information seminar. Do you honestly think that isn't going to factor into your decision on whether you should own/drive a car? Is it unreasonable to say that the state is paying you to drive?
