When state surveillance is not enough and “involved” citizens start to roll out their own. Don’t forget to “cancel” everyone on that list and keep the society divided for as long as possible.
- wukerplank 6y ago> keep the society divided for as long as possible There can't be unity with fascists. They don't respect the values and rules of a democracy.
- jfengel 6y agoIt would have been interesting to be in the room where they decided that "unity" was going to be the word of the day. After four years (and much longer) of very explicit divisiveness, where the whole notion of "unity" would have been met with derision, the rapid turnaround is giving me whiplash. I know it's probably not just one room where it happened, and in a lot of ways it's a pretty obvious strategy. Still, I just have to wonder if there was even a moment of self-reflection. "Do you think they'll be skeptical if our talking points are about unity in the immediate wake of accusing people of trying to steal an election, which we believed to the point of provoking violence? Nah."

- dsnr 6y agoOk, just make sure you record anyone who says something that you do not agree with. You never know when you might need it.
