Most public libraries delete identifiable records as soon as you’ve returned the materials, post-Patriot Act. Your librarian should be able to tell you how long your local system keeps your data. Public librarians, on the whole, fucking hate government surveillance.

They already do that in most jurisdictions. Solve the root problem, and the surface problem will be fixed. Only fix the surface, and…well, it’s like weeding dandelions.
I’m sure both sides are actually doing this. It’s just that only one side is actually being persecuted and forced to leave their homes.
I’ve thought we were fucked since the early 2000s, so I’m pretty sure the right wing media didn’t convince me. It was the telltale Constitution beating under the floorboards. Also, I assume you’re aware that your enemies can want you to believe things that also happen to be true?
We already tried ignoring these fools. We got January 6th for our troubles. I think it’s time for a plan B.
They aren’t interested in governing a ham sandwich. It’s easier to make the ham sandwich impossible to govern by soaking it in poison.
Someone clearly doesn’t attend a lot of comedy shows. 😛
Every right-wing accusation is a confession.
Our electoral system (USA) is a failure, but using that as “proof” elections don’t work is kind of like trying to use the fact that you can’t run Baldur’s Gate 3 on an Apple II as “proof” that computing doesn’t work. It’s not a serious argument, it’s admission of a personal thirst for authoritarianism. Anyone who wants to lick boots is welcome to hire a dominatrix and leave the rest of us out of it.
Fascists have a tendency of killing anyone in their way, so I wouldn’t bet on them waiting their “turn.”
Also, I want us to be fair to Morlocks. In addition to eating the Eloi, Morlocks provided the labor that kept the Eloi comfortable. The right provides no such advantages.
The constitution only applies when the billionaires giving them huge bribes say it does. Couldn’t be simpler.
I dunno. I was suicidally depressed all day every day for nearly 20 years, and there were people I love who were very consistently supportive. As always, ymmv, but saying it has no basis in reality is false. If the human actions in this post did not exist, I would be dead. Instead, I made it to middle age.
It doesn’t always happen, but there are people that back up feeling the way the post describes with action.
