It boggles my mind how certain countries are becoming safer day by day, yet people feel compelled to vote for pervasive surveillance and control. I think it is a mental disorder, a complete disconnect from reality, bordering on schizophrenia.
- wNk6A23YB 10y agoYou only have to look at where people get information from to see why they might be suffering from a complete disconnect from reality. When the people providing "news" have a monetary incentive to keep peoples' eyes glued on the screen/app they have no reason to report that everything's mostly ok and large scale bad things are very rare.
- kevin_thibedeau 10y agoThe pervasive surveillance did help them hone in on a lead the very night of the attack. I wonder if the actual intel will ever be revealed. Presumably cell phone records with the IMSI numbers from the detonators might have led to the traffic stop of his buddies.
- cmurf 10y agoI call them scared little bunny rabbits. People freaked out over a statistical 0.0% increase in the local population let alone nationally, for refugees coming into the country. And these people are all, "no they're dangerous, they're not vetted, we're being stupid..." And when I say, "no we're being generous, because we can be and should be." And these types just cock their heads and frown. Yep, scared little bunny rabbits. Life contains dangers, there is no life guarantee, but so many people are scared of bullshit. Go put some sunblock on, or stop smoking, or something useful.
