Snark; Fasc mention
Weird
That there's all this hand-wringing now about the ethical implications of privacy violations
When it's the privacy of a pro-fascist violent mob that's being violated
WEIRD AS ALL FUCK
HUH.
re: Snark; Fasc mention
@bgcarlisle I'll say this, it is absolutely not a problem when independent activists infiltrate and gather info on fascist groups, in fact I heavily support and condone it. Fuck the fascists, they can consume feces and expire.
I only have a problem with it when it's the state that does it, because I do not trust the state not to weaponize it to attempt to crush any form of freedom-facing activism, like BLM and Defund the Police that challenges the status quo.
re: Snark; Fasc mention
@bgcarlisle Oh of course, they are fascists. They will always seek to create rules that liberate themselves and bind the out-group.
But that's not the full picture, the compliance towards a surveillance state has been a programmed cultural behaviour through decades of "boiling the frog"
People, I guess are starting to learn how bad this all is NOW, because fascists aren't exactly known to shut the fuck up easily, even when they made themselves look the complete fool.
re: Snark; Fasc mention
@FreyaManibrandr The police were doing it for those purposes already
It's just suspicious as fuck how fine people were with it before and how vocal people get about it now that it's the fascists who are on the receiving end of it
