Ok good, flood the database with normal people. How effective is the database going to be once everyone is in it?
Very, then they can just choose who to mess with as they please.
Does it seem like they're not already doing that to you?
By having everyone in the database, they don't need even the flimsiest of excuse, then they can just yell "domestic terrorist!" and be done.
Now, they need to pretend that a phone was a sub machine gun, or a gopro was a revolver.
Doing that leaves evidence that they are lying, declaring anyone a domestic terrorist from a prior date makes it much harder for the public to prove their lies.
Again, what you just described sounds exactly like what they did to both Renee and Alex. I don't see how some fake database changes that strategy at all.
It doesn't change it, it makes it more effective and easier to lie about.
They can already do that.
Very. The camps in Germany were full of normal people.
I wonder if the majority in the US realises that this is it, actual fascism is there now. There is no sueing them, protesting, or any of the other good faith methods of voicing your disagreement anymore.
They weren't "normal", they were "disloyal".
its using AI palintir, like using it to target mostly POC, democratic demographics. they arnt targeting red districts thats for sure.
