Many of us who lived thru the 60s and 70s are thinking, feels like old times. Apparently the bozos working at reinstating the draft are forgetting how badly that worked out the last time.
cobalt@qurlyjoe @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon One important distinct difference from The Day (my time) the surveillance has become pervasive and threatening. Another sad development,
“They” have made most public dissent “illegal” in so very many places. And the definition of dissent that is illegal can and does include mere presence in some places. I thing if those 3 elderly women who merely stood, completely silent in vigil and were arrested.

Surveillance is orders of magnitude more pervasive & intrusive than it was, and militarization of the police as well. What it will take, and what seems to be happening, is for people to realize it’s their lives at stake, not just some abstract notion of freedom or liberty. We’ve seen it in other countries, we’ve seen stirrings of it here. How many civilians have to die before the rest wake up? And that’s just whites. POC been dying all along. They count too.
@qurlyjoe @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Accurate. It’s unheard of repression so pervasive from our own government against ordinary citizens
