You’re fearmongering. Despite what some may say, it’s not Nazi Germany. Rule of law still has sway.
Find me caselaw where a “basic” phone was used as valid evidence. Or where the phone was already empty when someone began to approach the border.
- tokai 2mo agoRule of Law was very strong in Nazi Germany. Everything that regime did was legal in Germany at the time.
- iamnothere 2mo agoIf you really believe that the two are equivalent, I hope you’re taking action right now and not just posting on HN. Otherwise that would certainly speak poorly of your character.
- tombert 2mo agoI mean they'll shoot protesters execution-style and retroactively declare that person a terrorist before they've even done any investigations. It's not Nazi Germany, but this administration has certainly demonstrated that they're not above inventing reasons to justify their actions later.
- iamnothere 2mo agoDespite the problems, this stuff is still a rarity among most people. And most people understand that. It’s obviously getting worse, but that’s not a reason to give up all hope.
- tombert 2mo agoI don't think I disagree with anything you said. I think cynicism is lazy.
- CamperBob2 2mo agoRule of law still has sway. Get back to me once the Good and Pretti homicides in Minneapolis have been prosecuted.
- iamnothere 2mo agoI said that it still has sway, not that it’s perfect. Your position basically amounts to “hide in bed and hope they don’t come for you”.
- CamperBob2 2mo agoMy position is that what happened to them could happen to you or me. You don't seem concerned, though. So that's good. I guess.
- otterley 2mo agoThe question isn’t whether something is merely possible. You could get struck by a moving ambulance tomorrow. It’s about how likely something is.
- CamperBob2 2mo agoGetting more likely every year.
