Here's a 20 year old album about it (it's really cool that my favorite band is called ISIS. It's neat how they broke up in 2010 but I still can only wear the merch at home)

Well Obama 'fixed' it.
Made it even more draconian but called it the Freedom Act.
Shit like that works every time.
God I miss the pre-9/11 US, when the worst thing happening was bad jokes on SNL about Bill Clinton and cigars.

Maybe not the best example.
At that time this sleezebag (and others with power) got away with a lot of sexual misconduct.
And in his case probably rapes.
Minimising it as him being some naughthy schoolboy and making jokes about is not really something I miss. -
Is there a word for when the media is constantly like 3+ years behind with "warnings" like this? I mean Jesus Christ, turning into?
There's a pokemon for it.

The 5 eyes countries are not allowed to spy on their own citizens, but they can freely share data.
Isn't there an obvious loophole here.

I mean, they do it anyways.

"turning"?
You Yankees really do live in a bubble.
You know, it’s funny, the only time I read someone referring to Americans as Yankees is when it’s a post-Soviet bloc troll. Such a red flag to me.
Edit: this is the second time on here I’ve experienced uniform bigotry for Americans without knowing my personal story. You are insulting someone who is an ally, whether or not you care. If you are going to win the war on authoritarianism and the future you should do a better job of parsing friend from foe. I am not you enemy and my experience with Yankee rings true in all my travels of the world.

Same thing
Humans = capitalism ???

[David Attenborough voice] Here we see the Yankee attempt to protect their bubble by claiming that anything which contradicts their perceived reality is the result of some dangerous foreigner.
However, while the Yankee does their best to isolate themselves from the perceived dangers outside, they are completely unaware that this paranoia is just one of the symptoms of the parasite that has begun to lodge itself deep within their brain. Without immediate assistance the Yankee will likely develop increasingly fascist tendencies before perishing in a rather gruesome manner as the Yankee colony self destructs.

No but the comment above makes it sound like capitalism is some external, alien evil that has nothing to do with humans, even though it's just greed

Definitely not a "all criticism of the US is literal soviet propaganda" coping mechanism

I'm sure German could do a compound of "spät erkennen" or similar for a late realisation.

That kind of irrational logic will no doubt serve you well. Enjoy your future!

True... Though things have accelerated at an alarming pace over the past few years

It’s almost like it was by design.
They also just spy on their own citizens anyway, because who is going to stop them?

Better that they cover it than not. And the recent ramp up is worth reporting on, it's a new level of weaponization compared to previous administrations.
