Are Americans fearful of their government yet?
NDAA just passed, PIPA and SOPA will probably pass once opposition dies down a bit. Every authoritarian bill proposed in the past decade under the guise of anti-terrorism has passed and is strengthening the state's power to unprecedented levels. Each bill is a euphemism cleverly named to conceal the dystopian undertones of their purpose.
Do everyday Americans truly understand what is going on in their country right now?
- stray 15y agoNyet.
- mikecane 15y agoYes. And now I understand how it could happen in Germany.
- wavephorm 15y agoYeah the parallels to Nazi Germany should be setting off alarm bells. The purpose of these laws as a whole is clearly to consolidate power and strip civil liberties unlike ever seen before in America.
