  • Because they will never quit. Ever. We need to get lucky and stop them every time (and I feel powerless beyond signing some petition online and maybe making a donation), but they need to get lucky once.

    And I cannot recall a single time that such laws were ever repealed. The patriot act has had some questionable efficacy and now ICE and the Trump administration want so many more additions that there is just no going back.

    Even in Canada, which never had an issue with terrorism, has passed many laws heavily infringing on people’s freedoms and are trying to pass the biggest one yet with Bill C-2, even though it actually weakens border protections and gives American companies far, far more ability to surveil Canadians than ever before. This is when violence and terror threats have been greatly diminishing for years (and not because of some BS laws).

    And now this. You know what this reminds me of? That incident back in the 90s when Bill Gates was presenting Windows 98 to the world and his OS bluescreened on live TV. No one who saw it or heard of it at that time ever forgot about it.

    But the flaws of windows 98 were hammered out fairly quickly and it was a decent system (I hung onto it longer than most since it ran many 90s windows games much better than XP for obvious reasons).

    With this? Despite far more money poured onto this than any OS ever had they have produced remarkably few decent results.
