Hard agree with the idea of greppability, but hard disagree about keeping names the same across boundaries.

I think the benefit of having one symbol exist in only one domain (e.g. “user_request” only showing up in the database-handling code, where it’s used 3 times, and not in the UI code, where it might’ve been used 30 times) reduces more cognitive load than is added by searching for 2 symbols instead of 1 common one.

By “could not take down” do you mean “could not occupy the space of”, or “could not overcome in a battle”?

If occupation, there’s more to it than guns.

If battle: the military has tanks, which are highly resistant to small arms.

The ultimate law in this case is discrimination. If it can get away with targeting anyone - an individual or a demographic - for imprisonment or murder, the game is already lost.

I’m puzzled that this list doesn’t include laws that allow a government to kill and imprison innocent lives in the first place.

If the government has been allowed to discriminate and target a demographic, you’ve already lost.
