Yeah whatever, everyone collects it now. Since it gets stored by a fascist state either way, who gives a fuck?

...and kids, that's how Putin won the war against the concept of privacy, and Trump got indirect benefit out of it

It's amazing how Putin has become the Satan figure of the American Civil Religion, personally responsible for all evil in the world.

Er... no, he's just responsible for all that evil he's unabashedly doing right now. And is working very closely with the fascist party in our government. As a result, he's become an important figure in the political landscape of the US.

Yes, and all evil is secretly him. Just like you say, secretly he's working with everyone bad in the USA, and he's secretly a very important figure in US politics. Just like he's secretly behind me stubbing my toe.

... Is this a bit? Because thats some unhinged shit to believe if you're being serious.

Just to be clear here, Putin isn't responsible for all the worlds evils, that's just... well, dumb. Sorry but like, who in their right mind could believe that? Seriously, I don't know how you could possibly arrive at that conclusion.

And hell, he's not even responsible for all the evils in the US. But he's very openly and publicly working with the far right parties here, who are in their turn very open about working with him, and that makes him a very relevant current figure. Not... sure what part of that is a revelation.

And you're making it easy for them if you don't give a fuck.
