Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

I'm a bit uncomfortable with holding judicial persons responsible for something their management did 80+ years ago. Unless you can prove Deutsche Bank is still discriminating against Jews and confiscating their accounts, it's not really useful to boycott them.

Should you avoid riding with DB, seeing that many of the train lines still in use were used to further the German war effort?

(I'm reminded of zealous FLOSS advocates who try to hold today's IBM responsible for the company's actions leading up to and during World War 2, simply because they really really dislike IBM).

Germany hasn't entirely paid for its crimes during WW2, but they've done more to hold themselves to account than Japan, or France, for that matter.
