    Monitor me all you want. Monitor me while you suck my balls.

    What are you going to do about it? Nothing.

      You think the trump regime is going to do nothing with a list of people who are opposed to the crimes of the rich?

      Violent autocrats love lists of people to persecute and kill. That’s been a hallmark of trump style regimes since at least sulla in the roman republic.

        I think trump has some pretty dark plans but infighting and a focus on drama will derail a lot of them like it did last time. True authoritarianism is too complex for his cabinet to pull off.

    The fun part will be when Trump rips apart the alphabet soup intelligence apparatus and displaces much of the senior leadership. Those guys have spent decades building webs of deep and strong connections, and I would be 0% shocked if those guys were able to successfully mount an insurgency against the Trump presidency, and they’ll likely take with them the list of dissidents and malcontents to contact.

      I think it’s probably closer to 99%. Basically, anyone who isn’t a high-level executive in the health insurance industry.

    That’s fun. It does nothing to stop the near-daily in-person conversations with coworkers, friends, and family about this one topic that unites us all. So long as we’re beholden to this health insurance system that screws us over at our most vulnerable of times, those conversations aren’t going to stop.

    The more people that express negative sentiment the harder it will be for them to go after people. It’s your first amendment right, use it. Don’t comply in advance.

    In his manifesto, Mangione suggested the health insurance industry had “gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.” He could just as easily have been describing the national security state.

        People forgot about Snowden after a month, it’s been 12 years already, let it come back to the public consciousness

          Facts should no longer be admitted or confirmed, which is why they are facts. It would have been different if, for example, some disinformation campaigns had been launched afterwards in an attempt to conceal the facts. So it was accepted, but attempts were made to shift the focus onto the “traitors to the country”… with success… sad that Americans who care about Americans are being hunted by Americans globally.

          They also admitted it much earlier, but without the words that actions conveyed instead.

              It has been confirmed and proven by the facts - nothing more needs to be admitted. Apart from that… James Clapper has already been forgotten. Who made fun of it and what else was going on… Nothing more had to be admitted.
