Enter the Police State (1/6/2026)

my responses (1/10/2026...)

Sneaker (1/9/2026)

"If we remain optimistic that our rights will remain intact simply because they always have been, we fall into a trap of normalcy bias. We need something more rigorous than optimism: we need informed skepticism that leads to radical responsibility."

when a police state repudiates a public's right to subject police-state-'agents'

to accountability measures by, for example,

'illegalizing' documenting actions of police-state-'agents' or

'illegalizing' documenting police-state-'sanctioned' rules, policies, practices or

'illegalizing' real reality

a public that trusts a police state's 'report' of 'the truth'

because 'honorable people', 'pious people', 'normal people' trust police-state-'agents' implicitly,

is a public that repudiates its inalienable responsibility to discern fiction from real reality

"A police state thrives on compliance. The antidote isn't just a positive attitude, but a willingness to be a friction point in the machine."

absolutely

a 'frictionless' populace is part and parcel to 'the purpose' and 'the end-game'

of wind-up plastic rictus-faced monkeys and casually evil cheerleaders

"if we are sitting back waiting for a happy ending to the current trend of global surveillance and state overreach, we are essentially consenting to the outcome. The response required is not a smile and a hope for the best, but a grim, determined vigilance that prioritizes action over expectation."

advocates of 'obedient' inaction

are police state pacifiers and police state allies

in all but name

"thank you!"

thank you!!!

"We've moved past Big Brother and straight into 'Big Narcissistic Stepfather!"

not only are 'loyal believers' naive to the weaknesses of police states

but 'loyal believers' lionize and revere "Big Narcissistic Stepfathers"

like parking lot pennies are 'liberators' of 'the faithful'

as if everyday people who are police state loyalists aren't as casually evil

as 'absolute dominators' of 'the meek and mute faithful'

"We're sleepwalking into a world where your freedom is just a series of pre-approved options! You want to protest? Fine! Just make sure you do it in the Free Speech Zone which is a soundproof box in the middle of a SALT FLAT IN UTAH! And once you are there, don't be shocked when you end up in the new Free Speech Zone in a random Central American or African institute..."

lolol

reminds of the motivational aphorism:

'the criminalization of being a living, existing, breathing human being will continue

until police state ratings improve'

"I have a right to be a private, miserable human being without an idiot counting how many times I scratch my backside in a CVS parking lot!"

amen

police states 'break eggs to make omelets', which is to say,

sanction police state impunity for breakfast

because 'omelets' = ratings

"I can't take it! My brain is sweating! We've traded our souls for the promises, the winks, the optimism of a better tomorrow, a safer tomorrow. We are STUPID! We are a nation of toddlers handing our car keys to a shark because it promised us a cookie and a locked door!"

for this - your insights and your candor - THANK YOU!!!

Now is not the time to be pacified. (It never was and it never will be.) If a pacifier is what you seek, however, be not surprised when the world falls ass over teakettle to offer you pacifiers aplenty in exchange for everything that is real and everything that is true, which is to say, everything that is worth fighting for.
