Ok, I have to say it. I cannot stand these "But it's for our 'safety' " folks.

Pretty evident that any attack on US soil has been made by the same govt,cheap version of Mein Kamph,promote terror,riot's racial tension,scare the people into giving up rights,take away guns so they don't hurt self,all these laws promote socialism and communism

No... with respect, thats spin and lies and you know it.

Terrorism is supported by western governments, precisely so that western folks will accept greater interference in their liberty, in exchange for false safety.

Come on... this is old news.

Its been said here before it's convincing the people that don't know what is happening and those that don't care what is happening. That it probably 75%-80% of the population. Most people just want to settle into a routine and as long as its not disrupted too much are fairly happy. Dont think you ever going to change those peoples mind, especially with some of the over the top rhetoric true or not, again most people aren't going to believe or act on if the do believe of a systematic,planned government tightening of control solely to enslave the population. It's got to be put in terms they can believe back off the secret cabal theories, and frame it as dumbass bureaucrats don't see how this could be abused potentially. Because thats probably closer to the truth than any of the crazy theories, but more importantly it's more believable and palatable to the masses and your are more likely to get them to act on it.

a reply to: SpeakerofTruth I completely agree. Militarization of law enforcement doesn't bode well. However, many seem to think it's "A-ok."

The united states is full of cowards that
will gladly give up freedom for the
illusion of safety.

I think we should have less police
and that they should never be
given military hardware or
drones of any kind.

While I understand what you're saying, and your approach is probably the most likely to be heeded, I personally think they know exactly what they're doing. Some of them may very well be dumbasses; they certainly come off as such. However, I have a tendency to think that the elite, after all, that is who we're essentially talking about, just have different morals, beliefs and values than "commoners" do. They know exactly what they're doing.

I tend to think we're headed more towards fascism than socialism and no they're not equatable at all... Neither is good, but they're not the same.

Not a good sign. Police Militarization

Of course, this has been going on for the last ten years or so. I always allude to my dad telling me, probably 25 years ago, that "One day, you'll see military patrolling the streets of this country. I won't live to see it, but son, you will." I suspect the militarization of the police departments is a precursor. Hope I am wrong, but I doubt it.
