The USA threw 100k+ of its own citizens in concentration camps, stripping them of property and leaving them in poverty after the war. Not exactly a shining moment for principles.

So every time you sit down in an internet cafe and connecting to the wifi, you are fucked because all the docker containers that run on your machine are open to everybody? Or - depending on the lan settings - at least to the wifi provider?
Also - shouldn't the web be full off vurnurable database servers then?

No, the docker bridge network is not on a routable subnet.

Walmart only makes less than $7k per employee. They have 2.2million employees. Regardless of the common narrative - they simply can't afford to raise all of their employees wages by any meaningful amount with their current profits.
Walmart makes over 200k in revenue per employee. Using profit to make your point is not applicable if honest. Otherwise you would advise Amazon to cease hiring altogether in all those years they were seemingly losing money per employee.

It's not odd. The journalist who wrote this piece mostly likely regurgitated misinformation/propaganda he read it elsewhere. Since you clarified the tech misinformation, I'll tackle the historical misinformation.
> changing the course of the war and giving the Allies a significant advantage over their Nazi adversaries.
Turing, Bletchley Park, Engima machine had no material impact on the war. 90% of the german military were destroyed by the Soviets in the eastern front in a simple battle of attrition. It would have served the soviets better if britain had shut down bletchley park and used those resources to send bullets/trucks/etc to the Soviets. Turing, Bletchley Park, etc provide no advantage over the germans as the germans were already heavily disadvantaged - by population, economy, technology, military, etc.
The soviets by themselves vastly outnumbered the germans and had a far greater military industrial complex. The soviets produced more tanks, planes, guns, etc than the germans. Now toss in the british empire and the US and the germans stood no chance.
It's amazing how misleading the media, news, etc are when it comes to ww2. One look at the actual data/facts/stats is rather sobering. Germany had no chance of winning. You have a better shot at beating 3 heavy weight MMA fighters at the same time than Germany had of beating the US/Soviet Union/British Empire. Go look at the data of Japan vs the US/China/British Empire/etc. Japan had even longer odds.
The propaganda that has been built around Turing, Enigma machine and WW2 in recent years is rather impressive. I guess being one of the founders of Computer Science isn't good enough? We have to exaggerate/lie about him winning ww2?
It's worth mentioning that it wasn't just Germany on the Axis side, but a 6 nation alliance that invaded the USSR.

> You don't have to guess on the definition by the way, as academic terms tend to be well explicated.
I disagree that the meaning of "toxic masculinity" is as clearly defined as you claim, or that it is even an academic term [1]:
> The term ‘toxic masculinity’ is not an academic term. It has little currency in academic scholarship on men and masculinities, although this may be changing. Common terms in scholarship for dominant forms of masculinity include ‘hegemonic masculinity’, pioneered by influential theorist Raewyn Connell, and simply ‘masculinity’. There is of course academic debate over how to understand these terms.
If you can cite a clear, concise, and universally accepted definition of toxic masculinity, though, I would be interested to read it.

I cannot cite a universally accepted definition of anything. That is an impossible standard and I'm sure nothing I say will satisfy you. The only help I can offer you here is to question the neutrality of that link.

So far we can't see CCP making this mistake - which sort of confirms that Party has a healthy self-preservation instinct. Let's say, they are trying to do everything to avoid collapse of real estate prices because that will hit retirement savings of too many people, and they seem to accept lower rates of economic growth if that will be necessary to achieve that.
Are you aware of what happened to the landlords in China or do you mean the landlords weren't human?
