On: Ex-NSA cyberspies reveal how they helped hack foes...

Every once in a while, my brain asks a good question.

https://www.state.gov/reports/country-reports-on-terrorism-2... “ 2019 Terrorist Incidents: There were no terrorist attacks reported in the UAE in 2019.”

Either they were extraordinarily good at their job or their job was bullshit. IBM Presents You Make the Call.

[kjaftaedi → tclancy]

Why would there be terrorist attacks in the UAE?

There aren't even political parties in monarchies making political action more difficult, not to mention the UAE has less crime than Norway.

[tclancy → kjaftaedi]

Is your contention no monarchy has ever seen organized political resistance? I’m not sure what the crime rate has to do with it.

[baybal2 → tclancy]

Maybe they don't paint a giant target on their forehead?

Maybe that's the key?

[tclancy → baybal2]

Yes, surely that’s the key. We are all being kept safe by these wonderful demigods who trade out human agency for safety.

Feel good yet?
