Under the neocon surveillance state, civil disobedience will eventually be called "terrorism". [View all]

This is purposeful and carefully designed. All disobedience will become illegal and under the word "terror", others will shun anything even remotely reeking of "terrorism". People are already being encouraged to "see something, say something". Snitch culture designed against the righteous, Constitutional activist. It doesn't seem so very unConstitutional when you're preventing TERROR!!!! All dissent may eventually be crushed in this manner. "You are either with us or with the terrorists." Never question. Never rock the boat. Loyalty Day is every day. Smile. Or be justifiably punished as a threat to the State. Because anything against the State is terror.

I don't like Trends either. They are winning, through fear.

"And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense.”
