I'm not here to debate that. I fervently wish we Americans were spending less money on the military and more on educating our children. I took part in the military. I understand it's a giant machine (military industrial complex) that doesn't just wind down in a couple years or even decades without sustained public pressure.

I'm here to understand the point of this article. If the author were advocating giving the .io domain fee profits to the Chagossians, I'm all for it, but I don't see that being advocated. I'm not sure what is being advocated. It's just a bad article with a lot of hand waving and emotional appeals that don't really do anything.



> I'm not sure what is being advocated.

Nothing. The article exists to make you think, and consider the history of this piece of Internet space. It doesn't need to advocate for something.
