    I think they’re saying Elon sucks and be wary of trusting the government.

    The fed’s anti-encryption stance comes to mind. “We need backdoors in your messaging apps but it’s just to protect the children!

      Both of these have been true for a looong time. Any step to concede this point is complicit.

        Hmm, I don’t take your point. What do you mean, please?

        You seem to have a problem with reading comprehension buddy. Nothing in this entire thread is even remotely close to defending Epstein or his accomplices.

        The closest it gets is demanding that the Constitutional rights of US citizens actually be acknowledged and defended instead of just allowing the government to ignore them because of some bullshit “think of the kids” excuse which is never about the kids, it’s always been about giving the police more excuses to arrest anyone they want. Usually those in the way of the rich and powerful, or a group they can then point to and classify as a criminal to justify treating them as less worthy of respect or basic rights.

          Can you point to any person or group of persons this has happened to?
