Sure you would say that, because you’re not an idiot. The Trump supporters will happily accept that the external revenue service collects money from external countries because they’re idiots.
The real answer: hire a law firm, entrust them with your documents, write into your will what you want to happen with them, and then go on about your business.
You think a woman choosing to enter sex work is being exploited? OF and the NFL can be exploitative platforms, but because they are corporations, not because someone on the internet forgot to save the people taking part in those enterprises
They have no principles. They believe nothing except what is politically expedient. They will say this, do the opposite, and insist their plan worked. Don’t play along, consistency is only relevant for people acting in good faith.
Literally the very first paragraph of the story. The very first.
President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 people who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic and is pardoning 39 Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes. It’s the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.
Why? Because the president has arguably unlimited power to pardon federal crimes.
How does an organization make amends then? HTS has been governing Aleppo for some time now. They’re reaching out to groups they have been fighting to organize into a coalition. Even the former US ambassador to Syria has nice things to say about them. Whether HTS is a force for good or not remains to be seen - governing a country is different than rebelling obviously - but I don’t really agree with the premise of your statement. I think the way to absolve yourself is to do good works and to own your past.
HTS has changed a lot in 7 years. Back then they were essentially an al-Qaeda front group, but now they have explicitly separated from them and are more focused on Syrian national politics than religious theocracy.
Time will tell whether that holds up, and what Syria looks like is definitely a big unknown. But seven years ago HTS was quite different than it is now.
This is a good question from the wrong angle. This event is cathartic for many people because the ultra rich who ruin countless lives never get punished. When they see “consequences” it’s a golden parachute. This event is frustrating because the media, legal, and security apparatuses expect us to treat this assassination as a grave act, but actively normalize the acts of harm Thompson and other leaders like him commit every day.
This event is revealing in stark terms the divide between the elite and the average person. Should murderers be prosecuted? Sure - in a world where justice and the rule of law matter for everyone equally. Doesn’t feel like we live in that world.
You think they’re willing to take the chance that the guy who assassinated a CEO with bullets with messages on them wouldn’t take the stand to deliver a monologue?
If they catch this guy he will never see trial. No way they’d risk him getting up on the stand, and even less likely they’d want to try their luck getting twelve people to convict. He’ll go down in a hail of gunfire or get Epstein’d
