"Neither the British or US government is an evil fascist state which brutally subjugates the populace."

Guess you've never been kettled and charged by horses for taking part in a (up until that point) peaceful protest against the ideology of the ruling government? I have. It's life threatening, and has proven fatal on more than one occasion. And undoubtedly terrifying. This is state oppression of the population by any definition I understand.

Or been detained indefinitely without charge and sleep deprived, partially drowned etc... No I haven't but its not hard to imagine how that could also be seen as oppressive and terrorising and is now admitted by the US and complicity admitted by the UK.

Not the same dude. One is a browser of arguments. I.e. rational discourse. The other may be seen as God bashing, but it purely uses the Bible's words to do so. That's like saying Principia Mathematica Abridged Notes is Physics bashing.

Niether, irrationally assumes a significant proportion of the population are in need of being 'cured' of their genetic condition (which is, of course, as best science can tell, currently, practically impossible - whether it's desirable or not).

"cure" is a medical term. Medicine is a scientific and beautifully empirical endeavor. Religion is not. Clouding the two is a kin to using pseudo science to sell anti aging cream, but with MUCH more significant ramifications for the victims of the deception. Rather than keeping a few wrinkles and loosing a few bucks, you get psychologically traumatized. Potentially for life, often by your own family.

I believe such deception should be legally prevented. I still think the trades description act should allow for prosecution of this kind of deception.

Emergent and adaptive patterns often 'grow' a head, well after the pattern/system has developed into a self sustaining entity. I wouldn't fixate on the 'top' too much, or you'll be complicit in another pattern. Such as the scapegoating happening with Wikileaks. Wikileaks have help unearth much more important issues than the fixated concerns people now have (and have had cultivated for them) regarding Esange.
