We are embracing authoritarianism everywhere. Democracies are dying.

Politicians are not ignorant of the risks; as the article mentions, they had several advisors, including scientists, who warned of the danger. If our leaders didn't know it, they wouldn't exclude themselves from the proposal.

Politicians and cops are THOSE who do this.

Fuck politicians on the right. ACAB, ACAB!
