I'm not talking about moon or UFO's conspiracies. I'm talking about things that, according to leaks and official documents, they already did in the past and keep doing today.
This is something else. Basic rationality demands that we not treat something as truth until we have evidence of it.
The existence of bad actors does not mean an abandonment of critical thinking! Critical thinking in this case tells us that compromising a git repo is a horrible idea, mostly because even if you broke SHA and even if you managed to slip the code in undetected, the jig is up the moment somebody makes a conflicting change in that file, wonders what's going on, and then discovers that the server copy does not jibe with the local copy.
Please cite an official document that shows the US government forcing GitHub to secretly modify the source code of a project in one of its repos.
As far as I'm aware, they've literally never done that, and to suggest they have means you have to show evidence that such a thing has taken place.
This is some Fox News level bullshit. "How do we know the FBI hasn't raped and murdered a girl in 1990? They've never come out and specifically stated they haven't!"
Hence the phrase "good germans" for people who believe anything the government tells them, without question, despite the history of government criminal activity, pretty much nonstop going back to the revolution. (Hell, imposing the constitution was done by a coup, there was no mechanism for replacing the prior government, so they just did it with fait accompli. That said, I wish we operated under that constitution, then there would be no need for these reports to reveal just how many people's (in bands of 250) constitutional rights are being violated.)
