And Boeing made the plane that dropped the atomic bomb and the firebombing of Tokyo. Both of which would have been war crimes if the US hadn't won the war. My point is that there are no clean hands in the ruling classes.

None of those were war crimes. If you believe otherwise, cite the specific conventions that were applicable at the time.

Besides, do you realize that you're complaining about Boeing making aircraft that were used to bomb not only nazi allies who fancied being honorary aryans, but also actual nazis themselves? And what's the point of this comment? Is this whataboutism, or do you believe Porsche holds a moral high ground for making use of slave labor provided by the third empire?

People who were following orders to drop bombs were the ruling classes? Explain.

NIMBY is a matter for local politicians, not the federal government. Not everywhere in the US has poor water management practices. Not everywhere in the US burns fossil fuels for power generation. And Greenpeace doesn't give a shit about environmental issues, only satisfying the egos of its founders -- they'll happily substitute nuclear power for coal just to win an argument.

Mostly rsilvergun and pals. They very badly want the price tag placement job, even though it's boring, repetitive work that nobody who works at the stores wants to do (speaking from past experience.) But this is also because they don't actually work/can't hold a job, mainly because nobody wants to hire or work with whiny entitled douchebags who only know how to complain.

You know Ferdinand Porsche did time in jail for war crimes right?

What's your next argument going to be? Hitler couldn't have been a Nazi because he was born before the party existed?

Also Messerschmitt was bought by DASA, which was then bought by Airbus. Willy Messerschmitt isn't the founder of Airbus. Get off the narccs.

And their manufacturing is heavily subsidized by the Chinese government, and not just that, but it's being done in a way that is completely unsustainable. These cars are literally being dumped, not just globally but INSIDE of China:

For the life of me, I don't understand why you put so much faith in a country who's own government actually lies TO ITSELF to the point that even the politburo has no idea what their actual numbers are. And the ones they do know about are so bad that they literally stopped publishing them:

But then again, as you've demonstrated previously, you yourself like disinformation so much that you enjoy casually creating your own. So perhaps that's exactly why you are so fascinated by them?

TPM can't rootkit anything. It doesn't have interrupts, and it can't write to system memory. It's not much different from any device you'd connect over a serial port, meaning all your computer can do is send and receive data from it. Components attached to your PCI-e bus will have a much greater ability to rootkit you, like your GPU, your ethernet adapter, or even your USB devices. Yet, despite your yammering, you don't think twice about any of those.

Its only purpose is to serve as a witness, nothing more, nothing less. Where I work, we use these a lot for systems that have nothing at all to do with Microsoft. No windows, no azure. Only linux. Why? Because it provides additional security assurances, which any end user can benefit from, or even add their own assurances. Another analogy is that it's more like a yubikey that your computer also sends boot information to. It's also an open standard. Anybody can make a TPM. The documentation for the entire spec is publicly available, free of charge.

You should really learn more about things before running your mouth about them. You may as well argue that all encryption is designed so that Microsoft can rootkit you, and it would make just as much (non)sense.
