So presumption of innocence is officially dead (along with rule of law generally).

Also dead:

  • Privacy
  • Probable cause
  • Right to travel freely
  • ...

  • Free speech and free expression.
  • Press freedom.
  • If this incident is a sign of things to come, and they start going after Linux phones or tablets and Linux or BSD desktops or laptops next, device ownership.

Hey, I have no sympathy for people who do BSD to each other. That's just vile sexual abnormality! 🤢

You know full well what BSD I meant...

Not only that, I wouldn't know what it could mean otherwise 😅

I don't know what it means in either context tbh. #justsweetsummerchildthings

It's an operating system. macOS is based on it for example.

And what's it mean in terms of sex things?

Nothing, don't know. Dumb joke on BDSM vs BSD

When did non-white people ever have those in america? Those are privileges afforded to those of a certain melanin composition, not all americans equally. People who thought they benefited from so-called 'universal' liberties are quickly finding out that it was never universal to begin with. "Rights" have never been "universal" guarantees for American people. Not once in the history of this nation have rights been 'universally' applied. They have been case-by-case applied, and often people of a certain melanin composition benefited from the 'universal right' while others don't have the 'universal' aspect of those rights applied to them. This is not a coincidence and it is beneficial to no one to think it's just a coincidence—well at least it's not beneficial to anyone worth benefiting.

"All men are created equal"... except those ones over there

It's okay, we're still afraid to fuck off and die. They just don't say that part out loud because the dead can't pay taxes.

As I've said before, welcome to the Reich.
