Huge fucking surprise... This is fucking tragic. It shouldn't be happening in this damn country.

  The US is becoming more like the USSR or East Germany every day. edit: Dangerously going in that direction. I realize things are still way, way, way better.

    A statement without any supporting evidence...

      NSA's spy network, indefinite detention without a trial, considering anybody who reveals details of questionable government actions an enemy of the state, encouraging citizen spying and be on the lookout for "suspicious behavior", courts recently saying journalists have zero right to protect a source's anonymity, and having machines patrol the skies "for our safety" are among a few issues that kind of align us with the USSR's widespread spying. Our system is probably even more refined since most people still deny it, while it was well known in Soviet states.

        Plus the fact that corporations and government are merging (especially in telecom, and if the trends continue, finance). That is _literally_ the Nazi model.
