  • Imagine, a person follows you around. Tracks everything you do- they know when you go to the hardware store. Know what you buy.

    They know when you go to the grocery store. Know what you buy there.

    Target and Walmart too.

    They all know your car. They know what you stop to look at before moving on. They know what you don’t stop but grab quickly.

    This person knows what you look like, can recognize you just by how you walk, and knows when you’re speeding, they know how you drive.

    They know when you go to the doctors.

    They know when you go to planned parenthood.

    They know your credit score. How much debt you have. How much you make, what hours you work.

    They know everything about you, including the last time you had sex because you put an Amazon dot in your bedroom and they paid Amazon for that knowledge.

    Imagine all that.

    Now start asking what kinda stalking charges that person is guilty of.

    Now realize they’re doing this to 350 million people.

    But it’s okay because cops happen to be some other clients.

    (Weee fascism!)












  • During our basic training we spent all of half a day at a range learning to shoot. Not exactly a ton of learning how to kill. Most people in the military aren’t taught how to kill. There are far more people doing logistics work than doing the deadly stuff.

    They just taught you to wing ‘em?

    More to the point. Everyone in the military is taught to kill. Not everyone is taught to be the trigger puller.

    At no point in history has the trigger puller, the spear-stabby-stab-guy, or the rocky-smash-smash-man ever gone to war without others fighting along side them- or indeed, people providing logistical support.

    All of that is what allows a military to function.

    The purpose of the armed services is to kill the enemies of the state. Ostensibly for the protection of the state’s citizens.

    That is why you being deployed to a polling place would “disturb” people.
