At its best, the acceptance of war by assassination is a powerful check on the growth and depredations of governments. At its worst, it is a sometimes useful tool to avoiding the needless deaths of innocents, i.e., “collateral damage,” when nations clash..." - John Filiss - from the 1990's Reminds me " All quiet on the Western Front " ...nearly a century old work. “... Kropp on the other hand is a thinker. He proposes that a declaration of war should be a kind of popular festival with entrance-tickets and bands, like a bull fight. Then in the arena the ministers and generals of the two countries, dressed in bathing-drawers and armed with clubs, can have it out on themselves. Whoever survives the country wins. That would be much simpler and more than just this arrangement, where the wrong people do the fighting...” https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/786467-kropp-on-the-other-hand-is-a-thinker...

A quote from All Quiet on the Western Front
Its just silly to say Hackers alone created the basis for AP
One inspiration for my AP essay was the Wizard of Oz: Dorothy and her friends approach the Wizard, asking for the various things they want. His response? "Bring me the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West, and I'll grant your request!". One of the friends observes, as I recall, 'to do that, we'll have to kill her!'. So, giving a reward for killing a common enemy might have come from this. Many decades ago, the movie was shown on television, yearly, I think in the late fall. My mother once observed that I first saw it, perhaps when I was 18 months old, perhaps October 1959. She said that this showing was the first time I'd been quiet for 2 straight hours since I was born. I probably watched that movie for 20 years in a row for the next two decades. Jim Bell

Every problem begets a solution, every attacker triggers a defense, history of human nature is to solve problems and raise defenses, each past version leading to the next optimized and feature commit, persistant problems and attackers often met with novel solutions. It will be interesting to see what solutions free humans implement to defend against the growing assault by [digital / political] dystopia. They should probably come up with something novel soon, before it's too late.

And now Mudge, after looping through DARPA, Google, Stripe and other agencies, "works for" Twitter as of news today, no doubt to help shore up their Censor and AI algorithms, GovSpy relationships, data sales contracts, etc against free human beings.
