Assassination Politics

[Karl Semich]

Apologies that I have not been keeping up with this thread, so my
commentary may be disruptive. I've kind of been just using the list as a
notepad in spam threads, which might be disrespectful.

I'm thinking of anonymity and AP.

Democracies need anonymity, so if democracy sticks around, we'll need to
improve how information spreads from citizens, anyway.

In the meantime, murder is legal in many contexts such as self defense in
many areas, by government workers such as law enforcement, or probably with
support of a major group already participating in it in some way. I imagine
such things have been mentioned or thought of before. Seems like
"legitimate" assassination fould be a way to rebootstrap things in a
surveilled situation.

But really we need anonymity anyway. I wonder how targeted people could
support rebuilding common anonymity.
