Meh…I trust nothing. Not the government, not the media, and definitely not activist hackers.

If you are unscrupulous enough to hack someone else’s data, you are not trustworthy enough for me to trust that you haven’t manipulated the data you claim you have hacked.

How are you supposed to trust anyone fighting for good?

Just what exactly is “good”? People on both sides of this think they are doing good by their actions (even justifying the bad they do because of their “virtues”). Also, both sides have lots of people agreeing with them so I really don’t think there is some underlying universal common human “good” that establishes one side as right and another wrong excusing the bad actions of one side in the fight of the other on this topic.

Seems to me bad actions are just “bad”.

> Now this he understood. It wasn’t damn politics, where good and bad were just, apparently, two ways of looking at the same thing or, at least, were described like that by the people who were on the side Vimes thought of as “bad.”
