geekystevenICE having a budget to rival a nation's military is a stark reminder that no right-wing objections to government services are ever about the cost. Money is no object, they are simply deciding what their goals are and your success and survival are never on their agenda.
ｔｏ⟁ｓｔ⟁ｌ@geekysteven Don’t tread on me—tread on them
Toni Aittoniemi@toastal @geekysteven Yes. The emphasis in ”Don’t tread on me” was always on ME, and the problem with spending was that it was not going on them.
We have forgotten how authoritarians work: First of all, they are many. All around us. Secondly, the emphasis is on ACTION. That makes language secondary.
