your loss will be cherished
-come with me-
as for thread, our rights have never really been consistent. the laws on the books protect the people from tyranny to a degree, but whenever the govt really needs to violate people's rights, they do, and people dont do shyt.
if an official govt body (police, fbi, congress, etc) needs to make a power move that might break a few laws or piss some people off, they will simply create a justification for whatever they want to do, and then do it, and again people wont do shyt about it.
happens all the time
if we want iraq we say they got wmds, when we overthrow a series of "dictators" its because they're "undemocratic," and if the local police wanna violate your rights they can call you a terrorist, or make up some reason for probable cause and lock you
happens ALL the time
