When I tell people that if there was a 2.0, there's going to be purges by both sides and zero no quarter; they just don't get it and that is fricking scary.
The government employees dabbling in someone's medical records should - like AWP suggested - be punted straight into the sun. Digging into med records for fun?
Bullshit.
...and now, both sides are going to blame the other and up the ante by pointing fingers and promising "to do something"
There used to be a time when this would have never made it to the news because these assholes would have been fired on the spot before it even became an issue. Instead, there is a line in that story that says...
"two sources told USA TODAY on condition of anonymity because of a criminal probe into the breaches"
even after the crime is known - some asshole decided to leak the story
The scary part here isn't "
if there was a 2.0" - there is no such thing as an "
if there was a 2.0"
There is ALWAYS a 2.0
There is ALWAYS a purge by the other side once they regain control of the hangman's noose.
There is ALWAYS restitution.
It has been like that since the very first time that two hominids fought over a dead rabbit.
The only way to prevent the "2.0 Scenario" is to make sure that "one side" completely loses the appetite for conflict.
...maybe by just jailing them for "misinformation" until they submit
...maybe something more nefarious
Who knows.
Is it scary? You're damn right it is - but capitulation is just a fancy way of saying "surrender"
Winston Churchill may have been on to something when he said "
till death or victory"
Victoria Aut Mors and all that jazz
