General Discussion

Afraid so that I don't resist? What sort of convoluted logic is that? No, my friend, I have a healthy and well-founded fear so that I can. Complacency is the problem. Denial is the problem.

They can talk to the closed door? Talk is cheap. Do you have any idea what is going on? They can and will smash right through your precious door. Warrants? Since when? Not with ICE.

I can't for the life of me understand why in this crisis anyone would try to lull people or mock their very real sense of danger.

"There's not enough government employees to round everyone up?" Since when was "everyone" rounded up in any authoritarian horror show? Not in Fascist Italy. Not in Nazi Germany. Not in Pinochet's Chile. So what? How many detainees would be OK with you? How many people need to be disappeared before it will be OK with you if people are fearful?

If you feel safe and secure, good for you, but don't put others in danger by downplaying the very real dangers and dismissing people's fears.
