Not really. It's one of the things he is most famous for. Even people who otherwise have no idea who RMS is have often seen the "I'd just like to interject for a moment" copypasta.
By the same reasoning, criminals literally pay the police to lock them up or shoot at them. Isn't that crazy????? No, that's how taxes work. You don't get to pick and choose which government functions to pay for.
That only works if society has the nerve to actually trap people in poverty and restrict them socially when they don't get education or skills. That idea is politically unpopular with a lot of people.
That is a matter of law, not thinking. We have specific laws in cases where you can expect that information you disclose to others should be kept secret. Attorney-client privilege, HIPAA, etc. That alone should tip you off that types of communication without such restrictions are not protected.
It's presumably the job of the BND to collect information about threats to Germany. If they've determined that the most effective way for them to achieve that is to submit to the NSA completely and beg for whatever scraps USA is willing to leave them, there's a fair chance that is true. If you question that assessment, that means you are questioning their competence at espionage, which doesn't bode well for their ability to collect the information themselves without the NSA's help.
Sure there is, as you've just demonstrated. Compulsory sterilization is one of many ways to implement eugenics, and the fact that it is so closely associated with the general concept is the cultural meme TeMPOraL was referring to. Other more benign forms of eugenics like incest taboo or selecting your sexual partners are not just acceptable, they are often not even seen as eugenics, because eugenics is "that bad thing the Nazis did".
That's a bit patronizing. Of course it is true that most people who support surveillance don't understand what's happening, but only because most people in general don't understand what's happening. Plenty of us understand what's happening and also support it - anecdotally, at least. Fully understanding is asking for too much, though. I doubt anyone outside of a select few at the NSA fully understand what's happening, and it seems reasonable to guess that they support it.
Nobody is going to stop one trusting of the huge CAs like DigiCert or Verisign over something like that. It'd be like deciding you're not going to use Windows because there is a bug in it - you're too dependent on it to give it up and the alternatives are just as bad.
Just because you want an option doesn't mean you should get it. Sometimes (most of the time) what this weirdo wants is completely unreasonable. For example, how is a cell phone going to contact a tower without giving away its location, if for no other reason than it can only contact towers within a certain limited distance?
What happened to australopithicus? You'll be free to starve with a meat-based brain as everyone with implants outcompetes you at everything if you'd prefer.
