The surveillance state always hurts dissidents most of all. We shouldn't neglect the importance of constraining its power.

    The Left think they’re morally superior… Prepare to be downvoted to oblivion kek

    Meanwhile, me a Libertarian Socialist laughs at both sides for being totalitarian in their own way.

    One of them lies about it while virtue signalling empty promises and the other says “what are you gonna do about it, huh? Yeah, that’s what I thought”

      Well the left wants to treat people as people and the right want to treat immigrants, trans and women as garbage. Pretty sure that makes us a bit more moral.

        Oh really. Why has Biden sent funds and bombs to Israel? Treating people real well there with genocide. Fucking joke.

          I wasn’t talking about Biden. I was talking about the left. Biden is more center-right.

          Biden is left since when?

          The left of far-right is not necessarily “left”.

          Why has Biden sent funds and bombs to Israel?

          Congress does. Be sure to vote in those races too.

            Wrong. Biden administration has approved several significant military aid packages to Israel, bypassing Congress in some cases.

              Congress ultimately decides the spending.

          Huh, how does the action of one political party dictate what a global movement want?

          Do you even know what the terms “Left” and “Right” mean in this context? (No, they are not a synonim of “Democrat” and “Republican” party of this one country)

          Also since when was Biden on the left?
