I love this "in the US" thing. Like we're the only country where that's true and there aren't whole European countries doing the exact same thing.
While I admit nothing exists in a vacuum and there's a lot of push toward a police state in the US, we also aren't the only country doing that, by far. We're just more open about it since Cheeto in Chief took office again.
Or maybe I don't have knowledge and experience in EU law and didn't want to pretend I do.
It's not just you. There's quite a few people who keep saying this. You'll note that they don't chime in to mention that Norway or Germany.
It's dystopian as fuck that this is where we're at, but I don't think it's a good idea to pretend this is strictly a US thing.
Nobody did. You're arguing against a point nobody made.
Not the time or the crayons.
Yea, ok bud. Go argue the obvious with someone else.
You're arguing with me at this point.
