It's already happening. HHS has OpenAI for everyone who works there, and as of now they're required to use it.

Lots and lots of citizens have been "deported."

It shouldn't really be an "entitlement" mindset to think that you shouldn't go to prison if you didn't do anything wrong.

I don't get why anyone from overseas would come to the US right now. They can just randomly decide today's your day and throw you in prison in Louisiana for no reason at all.

I think that Reddit/Lemmy style communities are incredibly easy to rig in a couple of different ways. If you care, you can work your way into a mod position pretty easily and then start to subtly mold the conversation. Reddit is pretty easy to flood fake votes into. And, of course, anyone can make any unlimited number of accounts and say literally whatever they want to. So, if you want to start an incredibly profitable business, you can just do that all day and sell your services to anyone who wants to spread pro-Israel (or pro whatever) messaging. I think more than a little handful of people have already done this, Reddit is one of the biggest targets in the world for it.

If people know who they are, they might be subjected to the rule of law, and that would be fuckin' terrible.

  1. The foreign military is pretty different from the National Guard
  2. Attacking foreign nationals, however much they didn't do anything to us, is totally different from firing on Americans in Washington DC

"Not these examples! These don't count! I want some other examples!"

Unfortunately, an order to go and walk around DC isn't a violation of anything. You have to wait until they give you an actually illegal order before telling them to stuff it (well, at least if you want to remain as a free person.)

I feel like probably they simply had no idea that it happened. Like literally never even saw it once.

The nature of the media they watch, and the totally backwards-land picture of the world it creates, is hard to really grasp if you haven't been in it. And, of course, that's on purpose.

There is research on this: Generally, when talking to someone online, remaining completely respectful to someone who's spitting in your face rhetorically speaking actually makes your argument less effective.

I'm still talking factually, sure. I'm actually not making any kind of personal attack, I am just being sarcastic a little. But I am not pretending that I respect your point of view, because your point of view doesn't deserve respect. You keep getting all emotional and just repeating over and over how you are sure that it works, and I keep sending you examples and citations. We are not the same.
