  • Israel’s Hannibal Directive.

    I didn’t know about this. I can see why you are saying that they are similar in a sense. (Not the part of ‘lets kill our own soldiers before they get kidnapoed’ tho).

    It is an attempt to prevent citizens from becoming political pawns.

    And that’s why I’m not totally against the theory. People generally are dumb as rocks - and sane people probably wouldn’t go near to those locations anyway.
    Their issue for risky jobs is a different question - and you can’t argue about the point that they need their own people to report news and to do charity and rescue missions. Those are all for the country - first hand info + building goodwill both net positive for them.


  • I don’t disagree but I don’t like this article.
    Internet is just human.
    You see the negativity and the loudest people and keep forgetting about the silent majority.

    Open source projects, people organizing events/ charities, communities geeking out over the same stuff, Wikipedia - basically all the human knowledge is at your fingerprints.

    Scammers, abusers, margin groups, hate groups - they are all there. It is just so much easier to see the negative parts.
