I know what you mean but "laws" don't matter in a world where the government can decide There's a "dangerous emergency" and basically supress all rights and between the bought for media and tech they will supress any pushback against it.

I know it's not popular to try and remove the blindfold of propaganda but the 2020 to 2022 and covid authoritarian, anti human rights, policies were an awesome example.

But if you are quick to dismiss those there's always terrorism, the children, drugs, and every other typical gov excuse.

It's not a tech problem. It's a problem of the people who have decided they will go along with autority at every step, If they get pushed.



Compare the response of the Chinese government and the US government, then return here and tell us all about the "blindfold" we Americans are wearing wrt the government's COVID response.


I didn't even talk specifically about the US but that is just pathetic as a defense.

Comparing with the bottom of the barrel to make yourself look good? That's like a country using the US healthcare situation to claim their own healthcare is good.

It's a poor car salesman trick.


And you're out here making blanket statements suggesting "we" did not pay attention to our own country's piecemeal, half-assed, state-by-state COVID response, instead painting it as a brutal federal crackdown. Lord.


Work on your reading comprehension or stop using strawman arguments.
