Right. As soon as we convict China, Russia, Germany, Japan, Chile, France, and every country from doing exactly the same things or worse.

when your whistle blowing only reveals secrets of one side, then i am very skeptical of motivations.

where are the dumps from north korea. where is kim jong un's private communications with Xi Jinping. Where is Putin's communications with Lukashenko. Where are internal memos from the people's liberation army. Where are the leaks from the Ayatollahs.

Also yes the targets were western governments. What about western corporations? Where are leaks from Boeing about their issues? Where are leaks from Facebook about PTSD of their moderators? Where are the leaks about Peter Thiel or Elon Musk or whatever?

The targets WL chose were basically the "evil west", you know, the only reason Ukraine has not been reduced to a prison complex.

Imagine if there was 'old growth internet' and the federal government forced big tech companies to preserve big chunks of it.

The whole thing is assuming that men drive progress and war drives progress, and both of those things are debatable.

The US version of "subsidized by the government" is that the government guarantees gigantic piles of money to be loaned to 18 year olds and then says they have to pay it back.

This tends to attract an enormous amount of non-education related work like loan servicing companies, bloated school administration, etc. Now schools mission is not just to educate it is to get a piece of that huge loan pie. It creates perverse incentives like universities competing on how fancy their dorms are or whatever meanwhile they are trying to drive down all costs like turning full time professors into part time employees who have to get second jobs to make ends meet. Kids become just loan delivery mechanisms to administration.

What a subsidy would be is just... giving the money directly to the schools. Like is done with high school.
