    Will, this is fascism 101, privatize and plunder the public so you can enrich yourself and your oligarch backers.

      And let the poor die in the street.

      And we saw this coming.

      America has stopped giving a shit. And it will come back to bite Americans. Hard. There’s a lot of leopards a-comin’.

        I suggest you delete your accounts that can be tied to your identity before January. They will absolutely go through social media after the deportations and incarcerations to continue to fuel their need for forced labor. I’ll be doing the same shortly. It was an honor, but now is the time to prepare for the underground.

          If that info is already out there, you can’t get it back. Deleting your account won’t remove it from some other data broker’s server too. You can clear out one copy of it, maybe, but not the 1000s of others that were sold already.

          Remember those racist mass text messages from… yesterday? How the fuck did someone know all those phone numbers belonged to black people specifically? And how did they get access to them? What other data do they already have? Everything is for sale. The fact you deleted an account is for sale. We are fucked.

          Everyone is about to find out why privacy is important.

            Well, fuck. Yeah you’re right. I’ll just be sure to smile at the firing squad.

              Try to be optimistic. Maybe you’ll just need to be sure to smile at your grandma when she visits you in prison while you’re serving your 10-year slave labor sentence because you didn’t scroll past that transgender furry porn fast enough.

          That is a very good idea for many people. In our case, we will be taking advantage of my dual citizenship and emigrating to the UK, where it is safe. For now. We’ll have to cross the next bridge if we come to it.

    Don’t worry, I was told my death was a worthy sacrifice to ‘teach the Democrats a lesson’. Presumably the Palestinian, Ukrainian, and other American deaths are also worthy sacrifices.
