Yes, it was theft.

I asked about genocide, not theft...

we signed treaties with the natives and then BROKE LITERALLY EVERY ONE OF THEM

What treaties?.. But do enumerate the genocides first, before you go rambling further off topic...

You name it, our government has done it, including coups, assassinations, coups, genocides, false flags, drug trafficking, human trafficking, willfully selling munitions to international criminals

Genocides — plural — is the worst accusation here, and warrants a follow-up question. What genocides (two or more) has our government committed — within our lifetimes?

They're going to make an example out of him and give him the maximum.

"They" who? A jury of his peers?

I doubt it...

never enter the US. Works great

Works great for all of us indeed.

Do be sure to take your phone to China with you, though. It just might heal your delusions about "multipolar world" and all that.

So any interaction with the Brownshirts of Fatherland Security?

That was true even before Germany's surplus WWI uniforms were distributed to adherents of a certain party...

Exactly. I don't see the OP railing against Mustangs and F-150's even though Henry Ford was a notorious antisemite.

I remember fondly each month getting my PC Mag subscription and then immediately turning to the back for his "Inside Track" column. Rest in peace and prayers to his family and friends.

better to not have that data on you when you cross certain borders

How about any border? Even more generally, at any situation, when the ordinary rights do not obtain...

I wonder, what the long term consequences of obtaining — and using — this skill are, if any... Does it make one smarter? Or faster? Does it reduce — or increase — the risk of developing Altzheimer? Does it affect personality in any way?

Also, can the skill be lost — if not regularly used — or is it more like bicycle-riding?

Yes, but I didn't ask if you EMPATHIZED with it, I asked if you needed to understand it to SYMPATHIZE with it. Remember, YOU are the one who defined the difference between the two...

Do you have to understand someone's pain in order to sympathize with it? That seems very limiting.

OK, a matter of semantics. So sympathize would be a better choice. Either way, it's a measure of humanity and that was my point.

Is the number of joke posts this provoked compared to the number of empathetic responses. These people are hurting. Their lifestyle (wake, work, eat, sleep) or location may not provide many opportunities for social interaction. The fact that some of the 'humans' here find it a source of humor tells you a lot about why the subjects of the article found themselves in this situation.

You're shitting me? Supergirl is a social justice warrior??? Superman too? It's almost as if fighting for truth and justice was in their creed or something.
