So the fact that they, citizens of a country with no extradition treaty with the US currently in a country where extradition is famously murky at best, don't want to be extradited to face an American kangaroo court means that they have no rights and MUST be extradited to face an American kangaroo court?

It's like Orwell and Kafka had a baby and then someone appointed that baby emperor of the world 🤦

They burn books? They ran Z-lib, no?

Edit: I'm an idiot, confused everything.

Utter bullshit. I only use these services for academic publications/books (fiction I just get from the library).

Academic articles are paid for with tax money. Fuck private control over tax funded research.

@Dislodge3233 @King

Yeah it would make the jobs of resaearchers much easier do you have any idea how articles i needed for my master thesis and rhey turned out to be paywalled?
Thanfully my uni email allowed me to acess them but it didnt need to be.

Theres a reason why we call college emails the world's most expensive library card
