One wonders if Snowden regrets throwing away his life to warn ungrateful Americans about unconstitutional NSA wire-tapping.

Some Americans may have felt uneasy 35 years ago when DUI laws, DWI checkpoints, seatbelt laws, and car liability insurance laws were started, but most people felt that the experts must be right. Pro-police state shows like "COPS" and "America's Most Wanted" were then aired, neighborhood watch groups were formed, "get tough on crime" candidates were elected, and laws allowing mandatory minimums, IMBRA, 3 strikes laws, curfews, police militarization, teen boot camps, school metal detectors, private prisons, and chain gangs were enacted. Nanny state smoking laws then started appearing. When 9/11 happened, the Patriot Act was passed, NSA wiretapping, no knock raids, take down notices, no fly lists, terror watch lists, Constitution free zones, stop and frisk, kill switches, National Security Letters, DNA databases, kill lists, FBAR, FATCA, Operation Chokepoint, TSA groping, civil forfeiture, CIA torture, NDAA indefinite detention, secret FISA courts, FEMA camps, laws requiring passports for domestic travel, IRS laws denying passports for tax debts, gun and ammo stockpiles, laws outlawing protesting, Jade Helm, sneak and peek warrants, policing for profit, no refusal blood checkpoints, license plate readers, redlight cameras, speed cameras, FBI facial and voice recognition, tattoo databases, gun bans, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, searches without warrants, CISPA, SOPA, private prison quotas, supermax prisons, FOSTA, sex offender registration laws, and sex offender restriction laws were allowed. Now that the USA is a total police state, Americans are finding out that changing anything is impossible and that freedom is lost forever.

>>1599 >Now that the USA is a total police state China is a real Police state though it has way less crimes and violence. You think your government is against you but it's just adapting to their new citizens, and you're not part of its future.

The government is the biggest threat of all. Americans want the government to protect them from scary illegal immigrants, terrorists, and viruses, but governments end up killing millions. Businesses think spending money to pay for TV/radio ads, billboards, newspaper ads, and mailing lists is an investment that will result in more sales. Spending money to promote freedom won't make you rich, but Americans will lose everything if Americans don't fight back against tyranny.

>>1583 Don't they all do that?

>>1595 Yeah worldwide lmao

Americans are slaves today and the police officers are the slave patrol.

>>1581 Nothing is gonna happen

Your life is over. Forget working hard to add to your 401K. The US is finished. Libertarians thought that Americans would wake up now that everyone is under house arrest, but Americans are in such a state of denial that they think this virus will go away in two months and everything will be fine. How can anyone believe that the elites will restore the Bill of Rights, pay off the debt, or end the wars? The US is collapsing. The police state is permanent. The globalists will either continue this lockdown or soon make up another crisis. Do you ever get the feeling that 9/11, the 2008 recession, this virus, debt, wars, and tyranny might be related? The US has a Ponzi economy. The economic recovery was mostly due to debt. Now the 1% have exaggerated this virus to pop the bubble and destroy the economy so they can increase the debt, get more bailouts, and expand the police state. If the ruling class gives the 99% a reprieve and allows Americans to go outside again, Americans should immediately withdraw their money from the bank, buy canned food, gold, guns, get a second passport, buy a sailboat, and get out of the USA. The elites want you dead and they want your money.
