These politicians believe it's worth invading everyone's privacy in order to prevent an attack on American soil. That's insane. A surveillance state is far more of a danger to people than terrorism.
- ahallock 13y agoI would say surveillance at this level is almost a form of terrorism. I don't not feel safe using phone and web applications. I'm also fearful to post libertarian-leaning comments or comments that could be deemed "anti-government" for fear of being targeted in the future. It may be irrational and slightly paranoid, but I think history has shown us not to trust people with extraordinary power like this.
- mindcrime 13y agoWell, I'm still overtly anti-government, anti-NSA, pro voluntaryist, pro market-anarchism, pro libertarian, pro anarcho-capitalism, etc. If they're listening to this conversion, well... fuck it, I refuse to be censored. The worst they can really do is kill me. shrug I wasn't planning to live forever anyway.
