I agree. He is a goon and he supports a police state. But how big does that specter loom against the backdrop of the already long extant police state? There's an indistrial-sized barn door through which a truckload of whataboutism has room to do a 3 point turn.
The goons on the left cheered me being denied access to public spaces for refusing an experiment. They agreed with howie stern that I should be denied access to medical care for refusing to be a guinea pig. The left were quiet as church mice as cities burned and a mere **** child was set-up for lynching for the crime of standing up for his community. HIS **** ASSAILANTS WERE THE WITNESSES AGAINST HIM AT TRIAL. Quiet as **** church mice when two lawyers were e-ssassinated and e-lynched for guarding their home from a violent, trespassing, race-baiting mob. NOT so quiet, actually. The left CHEERED the police state, SUPPORTED the police state, DEMANDED the police state and DEFENDED the police state.
And now the billy club is in the other hand.
Trump hasn't burned children to death in a church or anything. Trump isn't a democrat, for **** sake. But there's been some goonery and buffoonery, and the outraged shrieks seem a bit **** late coming.
The sudden, born-again-in-Jesus-and-Freedom sensibilities coming from the left has such a stench of hypocrisy and gaslight that it becomes a thing to be giggled at. One of the cocksuckers on this very board called for my public execution for refusing to vax. Vent your spleen at him for a minute or two. He called for the murder of law abiding citizens.You are incensed at the treatment of people who at least TECHNICALLY broke the **** law. I never broke any **** law, but I was locked down for not lab-ratting, and my speech was suppressed, and my most basic human rights were very openly conspired against - all to the acclaim, applause, and support of people who are suddenly sucking George Washington's dick. Guess they forgot he owned slaves for a minute, when it was convenient.
I just find the outrage about a police state facile and late coming. The political violence and election interference fascism of 2016 and 2020 are not a distant memory to me. Political criminals burning cities and police bowing the knee to them and protecting them, or at minimum ignoring them - a real world political marionette show CLEARLY intended to intimidate undecided voters - is not a distant memory to me. The loss of my freedom of movement and the lived experience of threats against my very life are not a distant memory to me. The very real concern, based on actual news reports and political threats supported by the people cry-babying now, that I might be forced to choose between being a lab rat or being deprived of the right to work, buy, sell, leave my home - that **** LINGERS. I have not got over that ****. And I won't, ever, is my guess.
I have **** to COMPARE this "police state" to, and although I DO see a police state, I DO NOT see something new, as you appear to. I see a police state entering puberty - not the nascent police state you seem to be alarmed by. And I see the *** that I more identify with doing it BACK to the *** that you more identify with. And I have a hard time reminding myself that I am a man of principle. My commitment to principle tends to flicker a tad when I hear outrage coming from the left. Something comes to mind about straining at gnats while swallowing camels. And not one **** thing about the words "what about" feels like a fallacy or a short cut. It feels like if I DON'T yell "what about," my head will explode.
In general, I find police states to be a "bad" thing. But as "bad" things go, I would call the CURRENT police state the best of a bad bunch. It has its **** moments.
