It's a very insidious, first you look all over your neighborhood flock cameras Hundreds of them came out of nowhere Nobody fought back .

it's as long as you're not doing anything wrong you don't have to worry about it Then once changed the definition of what wrong means.

If you're not a criminal you don't have to worry about it That's for your safety Then they changed the definition of what a crime is

its only with the benefit of hindsight (and being on the winning side- thus the propaganda was never dispelled) that we consider the stasi and so on the way we do.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck.. might just be a duck.

I don’t believe those living “normal lives” in East Germany or the Soviet era considered the police to be evil and invasive the way we do today.

> what the Stasi was doing

the stasi were spying on people and putting them in jail. what exactly is your claim about the difference? is it a difference in distinction or a difference in degree?

What makes you qualified and informed of what’s taking place to determine that?

What we hear about is far from comprehensive, and many of the atrocities won’t be unveiled or investigated until the next decade.

The Epstein cover up shows they’re used to keeping secrets.

I’m not sure why we’re pretending there’s not a convicted felon in charge of the entire system.
