> Also the lack of a "catch all" in defining who it target leads me to believe that they already have bills in place to target domestic targets.

They just call Google. Google works with the feds. All of them do. Here is an account: https://wikileaks.org/google-is-not-what-it-seems/ . It's not just Google; you don't get to the size Google got to without having feds up your ass.

@p @Awoo @sjw @alex @IAMAL_PHARIUS @graf @RustyCrab Just that paragraph alone should give you the shivers.

the hate for those supposed to be ancaps really is strange to me, though; you'd think there'd be more your-heritage-is-rebellion.png types but it really seems like all real "atomic individualism" has left the politically-conservative scene, disregarded as "a pipe dream" because "the US military has drones." It's a really common misconception. If there's one thing the left and the right agree about, it's that the US Military being turned on any subset of the US citizenry would be an absolute massacre, impossibly one-sided with the technology of the US military vs some AR-15s and AK-47s. You hear jokes about it, with Republicans as the butt of the joke for democrat comedians, and ancaps the butt of the joke for Republican shitposters.

But... you really must not be paying any attention to the Bundy Ranch, or understand what it means when Ruby Ridge and Waco put the feds in a position where they had to show their ruthlessness, their willingness to win over all moral, ethical or interest-based reasoning. They can be held off, and they will make a fool of themselves if held off long enough. It could be very costly, but with enough wilderness and motte-space to keep them at the extreme distance, with effective low-power monitoring systems with back-up communications modes, autonomous devices that don't have to receive instruction, the fact any raspi-alike has more than enough power to do 30fps video analysis and associated targeting for homemade (nerf) turrets.

Optimistic? Probably, but that's way better than selling out to a party that will never follow through on promises for its citizens, or a party deliberately angling for greater powers, or shribertarians trying to only play the classic game of politics and never accomplishing shit.

@LukeAlmighty it literally is a mental illness though idk why people can't accept that. Having a mental illness doesn't mean you're automatically a bad person. It's pretty stigmatized to be mentally ill and so there is a movement to normalize it instead of caring for it.

> We're kinda fucked if this passes

Reminder: though the fight can be taken to the house/senate/POTUS, you also have courts which are known to slap unreasonable stuff down

also you have allies against this.

> (6) ENTITY.—The term “entity” means any of the following, whether established in the United States or outside of the United States:
> (A) A firm.
> (B) A government, government agency, government department, or government commission.
> (C) A labor union.

Talk to your local labour unions, corporations and governments. They all have interest in opposing this

Here's the full bill. We're kinda fucked if this passes. Government surveillance will be similar to that of China.

Fuck these people who are trying to push this bill under the guise of "China and other foreign interference!" and "think of the children!"

Holy shit this is the PATRIOT Act 2.0!

Maybe even worse!

I just want to say two important things..

First the recent school shooting is a tragedy and we should all be sad about the death of any children, especially as a victim of muder.

Second, we have to realize, for the sake ofperspective, how unfathomably rare it is for a child to die in a school shooting in america. It seems common because america is huge and the news makes this stuff public. But the numbers are more telling.

To put some numbers to it the chance of a child dyingin a school shooting in a public shool on any given day is 1 in 614 million. For comparison the chance of a person getting struck by lightening on any given day is **less** than 1 in 370 million.

In other words a child is more than **twice** as likely in the USA to get struck by lightening as they are to die in a school shooting.

Should we still mourne and be outraged by it... sure.. does that mean it is a problem that is common enough to be a huge concern... not really. We should probably put more effort into addressing the "lightening problem" than we should be about addressing school shootings.
