What are you going to do about it? Nothing.
You think the trump regime is going to do nothing with a list of people who are opposed to the crimes of the rich?
Violent autocrats love lists of people to persecute and kill. That's been a hallmark of trump style regimes since at least sulla in the roman republic.
I think trump has some pretty dark plans but infighting and a focus on drama will derail a lot of them like it did last time. True authoritarianism is too complex for his cabinet to pull off.
That's a very optimistic position.
I think it overestimates the competence of fascists past and underestimates people like Leonard Leo who orchestrated the fascist take over of the courts and has publicly committed to doing the same to every major industry and institution.
Either way we'll find out I guess.
Far more scary than Trump would be a president with the same ideas he espouses but who actually is a true believer (rather than somebody who just says what he thinks people want to hear), competent and persistent in taking his promises all the way (instead of a flip-flopper like Trump).
It's the reason why the Democrat Party going even more to the Right is dangerous: it's keeps the Republicans in Fascist territory and sooner or later they'll produce America's very own Hitler rather than "just" Trump.
Monitoring all nurses, got it.
Big job.
The more people that express negative sentiment the harder it will be for them to go after people. It's your first amendment right, use it. Don't comply in advance.
So did they just download the US Census and start from there?
When pretty much everybody is on the list, it's more conspicuous to not be on it.
They want a list because there’s a zero percent chance that they’ll successfully manipulate public opinion through social media.
“Hello fellow capitalists! Ready for a new day of supporting free enterprise by simply caring for ourselves?” #nevergonnafuckinhappen
Health Insurance companies are parasites who only exist to cause people misery in exchange for profit so... everyone?
That's fun. It does nothing to stop the near-daily in-person conversations with coworkers, friends, and family about this one topic that unites us all. So long as we're beholden to this health insurance system that screws us over at our most vulnerable of times, those conversations aren't going to stop.
In his manifesto, Mangione suggested the health insurance industry had “gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.” He could just as easily have been describing the national security state.
Imagine if government resources were spent on applying antitrust laws to stop this abusive situation that literally kills people and ruins lives instead.
UHC just sent me a survey. I was honest. I'm on a list now!!!
If you got the survey you were already on the list.
"Do you have the faintest idea of how little that narrows this down?"
You can't put us all on the little list
big data disagrees
You can't put us all on the little list by definition, because then it would be the big list.
A list that includes everyone is useless from a data analysis point of view.
so, like most people who have ever had to attempt to use it combined with those who could only hope to afford it? thats prolly a long list.
Hi, FBI agent! How are you doing today?
You can monitor this dick.
"We already have. And there is literally 'Nothing to see here.' "
Ouch
I hope more die.
The fun part will be when Trump rips apart the alphabet soup intelligence apparatus and displaces much of the senior leadership. Those guys have spent decades building webs of deep and strong connections, and I would be 0% shocked if those guys were able to successfully mount an insurgency against the Trump presidency, and they'll likely take with them the list of dissidents and malcontents to contact.
Ok Tom Clancy
Idk, I just think it'd be peak comedy if, after sponsoring right wing movements around the world for seventy years, CIA leadership was forced into leading a left-wing counter revolution here at home
