> abuse of the quantitative and the reduction to the binary are proof of this

I'd love to hear more about this, because it seems like they're just lacking in imagination.

And it seems they were attacking the tools instead of society itself, and it was bound to fail(which it did). It's like breaking a knight's sword in the middle ages, and thinking the knight will just go home and go to sleep without his sword. No, he'll just find some other way to kill you. Or repair his sword so it is even stronger than before.

I also extremely doubt the efficacy of their "timebombs"
