You wonder how these priorities came about? Do you not recall 9/11 or are you not an American? Scared people do irrational things.

You wonder how these priorities came about? Do you not recall 9/11 or are you not an American? Scared people do irrational things.
- mindslight 7y ago"Scared people do irrational things" makes it sound as if the overall reaction was somehow reasonable at the time or that the priorities were organic. Most of the fear and panic was stoked by the mainstream media, in support of traitorous politicians seeing an opportunity to act on longstanding totalitarian wishes. Propaganda is a powerful weapon against Free people.

- SamReidHughes 7y agoA terror watch list or a no-fly list isn't irrational at all. It's sensible in principle, if you don't value civil rights that much.
