    “None of this was said or implied”

    Really? Then why mention mass surveillance like it matters then? If they can’t actually go through all the data it means fucking nothing.

    Isn’t that the purpose of Rupert Murdoch’s?

    Gee wizz what was one of the two industries I listed that actually do profit off of divi- OH YEAH The News!

    I represented their arguments exactly as they were laid out and stipulated my position accurately. They’re a conspiracy nutcase that thinks everyone in power is out to get them and the only people who actually benefit off spending money to divide people are the guys making guns and the guys recording it. Period.

      Okay, let me spell this out like you are a four year old then:

      The claim is that the government has the power to stop abuse en masse and improve life for everyone, but doesn’t, because they benefit from it.

      The NSA program (which has been well-known for over a decade) is an example of that.

      I represented their arguments exactly as they were laid out and stipulated my position accurately.

      LMFAO no you’re not; you’re going off on a completely different tangent about the system as a whole instead of addressing my main claim, specifically how domestic abuse is allowed in order to maintain it, and you’re doing it because you perceive any negative talk against the system as an existential threat to it.

      You only address a claim literally everyone else on Lemmy makes: that corporations actively exploit and abuse their workers, and you label it as conspiracy shit.

      And you do it because I’m right and you know it, people are realizing it, and that inconveniences and threatens you.

      You are exactly the kind of motherfucker who keeps the slave racket going. Because fuck them kids. Fuck them abuse victims. You ordered your Big Mac five minutes ago and you want it NOW
