Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is why we need to strip the US gov. of power, before shit like this starts happening (which ik, it kinda already is.)

100% certainty that the FBI and CIA are already doing this and don't give a shit that it's illegal.

Oh yeah it was a long time ago it came out the FBI can turn on your camera without activating the light.

I just treat them like a captive little audience and torment them with my awful theatrics.

Soon they’ll be checking if you’re talking about abortion or homosexuality or how horrible racists are. Then comes the knock on your door.

Hasn't the Patriot Act basically already enabled the feds to do this stuff and more for years now already?
