Thanks Amir for the link and clarification, reading it with Adam Curtis's
voice in my head made the whole thing feel more understandable...

But still I feel there is nothing I can cast judgement on. The whole 20th
century was one of symbols - which people attached different meanings to
and then fought eachother over.

An element of ethics which is strictly technical such as:
"Those with political power should be stripped of their privacy rights"
I can fairly pass judgement on.

But "Rojava is good", "Rojava is bad"; I refuse to take position. We've
spent about long enough killing eachother over abstract symbols so I
think we really need a solid protocol specification on this government.

It seems that my gut-reaction-analysis is not far different from zerohedge's

Except I didn't know they are planning elections for November 1st.
