When I was a teenager around my daughter’s age, pre 9/11, this kind of future was the kind of thing you would see in a ridiculous 80s dystopian action movie. We didn’t ever think we’d actually ever allow it to get that far as a society, surely we would rise up to oppose. It’s just wild to my old ass how far we have fallen and how much people just shrug.
I was watching the Netflix hunt for Osama docuseries. And Bin Laden totally won. After 9/11 the US turned on its own people and used the modern technology of the military to set up a mass surveillance system and a way to easily do shit like this. And people allowed it while chanting “USA!” This is all part of it.
On a side note, i can’t wait till The Running Man becomes Reality once Trump starts throwing migrants into a life or death reality show where they’re hunted by neo Nazi ice agents
I just want you to know that I have been shouting from the rooftops this exact thing since the Patriot Act was signed into law
And it was people like YOU that shouted me into silence
Fuck you and everyone like you, your revelation came too late and you will never be forgiven for what you did to the messengers
I’m just some indigenous dude watching you guys destroy yourselves
Well considering they're already denaturalizing citizens how long before the admin targets you?
Also, my great grandmother was Oglala Lakota and I would have been too if some dumbfuck colonizer hadn't kidnapped her as a kid and erased her culture, so thanks for the all inclusive 'you', asshole.
