Yeah, my group of friends will be very resistant to moving away from discord. They're all aware of the issues with it, but It's too convenient of a platform. Personally, I will give up most of the comforts to not be under the thumb of a corporation, but I'm an outlier in my friend group with that perspective.

Not sure that I'm following/understanding. I'm saying that skeptics of the "if I've got nothing to hide" argument were correct. You do have something to hide if the people in power suddenly change the definition of what's legal.
The fun part is that they're already at the "criminals" stage and we have been for a while. The marketing team is just backing into it and manufacturing consent.
The next step they'll take is hooking into the amber alert system to find missing kids. Then, it will be finding "criminals," which applies to basically everyone thanks to NPSM-7.
The "If I've got nothing to hide, why should I care" argument has predictably aged like sour milk.
Deport anyone they feel like. Blame the app and "AI" when the damage is done.
Yeah I really think this administration trying to muddy the water by "accidentally" fucking everything up with the release. Weaponized Incompetence.
- We have Steve Bannon suggesting that Trump send ICE to polling locations on election day .
- ICE is currently purchasing large warehouses across the United States so they have more capacity to jail people.
- ICE is now one of the most funded military orgs in the world.
- Trump issued NPSM-7, which lists a bunch of ordinary things as terrorist activities
- ICE agents have started following activists to their homes and intimidating them
So...
What, everyone?
Yes. He will keep broadening the definition of "terrorist" and narrowing the definition of "citizen." Not saying it will work, but I believe he will try. I think there's plenty of evidence showing that it's a real threat.
To track, intimidate and eventually disappear activists I imagine
- Becoming is ranked #1 because of the brave play button pressers
- Trump goes on a truth social rant claiming that Netflix rigged the ratings
- Libs go to bat for netflix and spend a stupid amount of time arguing about TV ratings
- The gestapo continues kidnapping my neighbors from their jobs, homes, schools, and cars
Its already been infiltrated. Been having people harassing us all week. Some bootlicker on Twitter found the names of all the dispatchers in one of the rapid reaponse groups and submitted it to the FBI.
Holy shit. I played the shit out of this game when I was a kid. I had no idea someone ported it like this.
At this point, I don't think it's conspiracy-nut to say this. We have a group of tech oligarchs in the US who are openly collaborating with a fascist administration. It is a conspiracy and this kinda shit is the result.
