This just sounds like the standard playbook for this crowd (by which wide brush I mean authoritarians and their enablers). They really hate being called on their lies, and their immediate response is to attack with whatever comes to hand (press release, xeet, the DoJ…depends on the person).

- mindslight 2mo agoYes, five years ago was the start of it all. Everything was just peachy before then. No authoritarian laws, no government surveillance, no enshittification (aka arbitrage of tech authoritarianism), no private surveillance industry creating dossiers on each of us that would make Stasi agents blush. It was all kicked off by HN comments five years ago. </s> Please stop grinding whatever axe you think you're grinding, and put that energy towards something useful.

- nearlyepic 2mo agoYeah dude, Covid vaccinations were what started us on the slide to authoritarianism. Not 9/11. lol give me a break
