And don't make the mistake of thinking the government doesn't have more resources to throw at a case than any private entity does.

Legislature and Executive branches intentionally hamstring our institutions because some key people in power want to raid the wealth of our nation and bring about the downfall of our society.

It means a military outfit. Well-regulated as in training and discipline. Not a bunch of yokels showing up to show off their new guns to their buddies.

But SCOTUS re-interpretes the 2A in part because of the 14A. So we have no one to blame but ourselves for the muddiness of the amendment. We had 250 years to fix it and we never bothered.

It really is simple. Rust zealotry is 100 percent fact and provable.

What is a foundational tenet of Linux? "We do not break user-space."
But, we do for Rust. Why? Because Rust MUST move forward at speed. Can't pass tests? Fuck it. Works good enough.
Breaks user-space? Yes, but not all the time and not for most people. We are accepting Rust CoreUtils for no other reason that it must be.
It has been decreed. Ubuntu about CoreUtils is Bill, "Fuck it, we'll do LIVE!".
Large performance hiccups, failing tests? Does not matter. Pushing it live will bring the issues to light and we can fix it all over time.
What? That is not how this has ever worked. We do not break user-space. Especially on purpose so we can speed up Rust development.
Rust replacements should exist. Rust replacements should make there way into the systems we are using every day to make things more secure. Rust replacements should work though and not break user-space. If is not an acceptable replacement if it were written in C, then it is not one just because it is written in Rust. Real commands, real scripts, real jobs fail. Anything that works as a drop in replacement should be accepted. (Preferably because it is provably better, not just, "Written in Rust though!". Anything that does not, should not be a default in the release and should stay in the background, getting better till it is ready.

Anything other than that is religious zeal, not making a better Linux.

I see no evidence of that "religion" of which you speak.

Ubuntu 25.10
Is that evidence enough? "We do not break user-space."
Unless it is to implement Rust based tools in spite of knowing that they fail tests and break user-space. KNOWINGLY
There is definitely a problem. Not with creating Rust. Not with replacing things that can be replaced.
When thought, they knowingly break a foundational rule to implement their religion, it makes the point.
