It is treat as a "Tin Hat" issue, or a Occupy Wall Street movement. The people in my circle (several hundred) see this as a non-issue.
We have an issue of education and clear message. Especially how this counters the Constitution.
Maybe a push for everyone to read "1984" :)
- dllthomas 13y agoI think that 1984 references, while apropos, are counterproductive. 1984 isn't documentary, and it's not prophecy; it's fiction used to make some political points. It is entirely reasonable for someone to not weight it very highly, in their assessment of likelihoods in the real world. Those not already sympathetic see comparisons to 1984 as hyperbole, those making them as out of touch with reality, and it doesn't help us seem less "tinfoil hat". Actual and potential abuses, with historical analogue, should be substantially more important - though precise reaction is hard to judge (can we get some polling done?)
