A searing and possibly legit indictment... what can I say...
> incurious
Hurts to read this. But maybe you're right: my mind kind of shut off when I read the abstract (client side scanning). I can't say I've looked into the details.
I missed that line while skimming the article, but that is exactly what was going through my mind.
It is mind-boggling how this can exist on such a grand scale without any scrutiny.
While I don't agree with a lot of premises of the manifesto, I can't shake off a feeling that I just witnessed something very close to a real witch hunt.
Yeah, there are a ton of non sequiturs in there and other ostensibly reasonable decisions they've cast into a bad light. And then there are all the emails which, if real, are pretty damning.
I guess they're trying to be thorough or something, but probably 2/3rds of the indictment is pointless and the real complaints are hidden by a lot of insinuations that sound ridiculous.
I think, without saying that things were "fine" or "tolerable" prior to this, that the feeling is akin to "I can't believe things have become so blatant, obvious, and delivered / met with this total lack of caring."
It's astonishing that things don't even seem to be thought out. It's almost like "We need to get rid of X person and we'll worry about the fallout / cover up after the fact. First we need to find out how much evidence we left behind, how guilty we look, and what our options are before we admit to anything and start playing defense."
