For the sake of clarifying the issues, let us move the events to an
American setting.
Suppose some members of a group, call it the Aphasics Liberation
Army, APA, commit some serious, even heinous, crime.
Should all members of the ALA who do not "renounce the past actions
and their association with the ALA" then be denied the right to
enroll their children in taxpayer-funded schools and other things
Kristen cited?
What new form of McCarthism are folks like Reese and Ernest Hua now supporting?
Last I checked, the U.S. Constitution doesn't say a damn word about
my civil rights being lost because I refuse to take a loyalty oath or
because I refuse to denounce some members of a group I may have once
belonged to or may even still belong to.
I swear, Cypherpunks are some of the most politically ignorant people
I've ever been in contact with.
