The fact that you can't even make out on a bench in Central Park without someone recording you on their iPhone and then posting it to social media as some kind of bit is everything that's wrong with society and I am not joking. The surveillance state (administered by an actual state or by the millions of people with phones who want to embarrass people on their TL) is essentially the least romantic thing imaginable in both the love sense and the living sense. It is anti-romantic and anti-life. Part of the reason why the before world was fun was the fact that you didn't have this kind of thing. The ability to do something without it being documented and recorded is the difference between being free vs an animal locked in a cage. There is a direct correlation between everyone constantly being afraid that someone is going to record them and post it somewhere and society becoming more neurotic, less fun, more boring, and less alive.
The self-administered surveillance state is the enemy of life.

You couldn’t make shit like this up in the Netflix writers’ room.
Just insane almost unbelievable dialogue from the so-called leader of the free world.
The United States is not a fascist country yet. But the process to become one is unfolding rapidly. The primary reason for this is the capitulation of the Democratic Party to the corporate donor class. The liberal class — intent on crushing any attempts to subvert the agenda of its oligarchic masters — has ushered in this new dark age.
There is something inherently wrong with a country that spends more money on law enforcement & incarceration than healthcare & education.
Doesn’t really scream “Freedom” to me.

BREAKING NYT:
Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters, according to people briefed on the decision. https://t.co/XAVkJ0GW3V
Tim Dillon: “They’re in the White House. They have the Congress. They have the Senate. They have the Supreme Court. It is now them. I don’t want to hear about the Deep State anymore. You’re playing everyone for a fool. You have to be one of the stupidest people in the world to fall for this shit at this point”
