@RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare @Dagnar @freepatriot Interesting: I think there was a very great deal of low-level cognitive dissonance back then, which was really easy to drown out with material comforts as long as it wasn’t taken too seriously.

I think my folks were always paranoid civnats 😏 my mom tells me to stop sending her shit

Americans don't seem to understand that the USA is a police state.

The elites have turned everyone into criminals, liars, hypocrites, and cowards.

The only good thing about living in a police state is that no one can take the moral high ground on anything.

Thank you.

Maybe it depended on where you were. People around me assumed that the only time your phone would be tapped is if you were mafia.

I think I remember someone telling me to watch what I said on the phone 😏 sounds familiar

I don't recall anyone thinking like that back then.

I think most people just assumed the government had everyone's phone lines tapped even back in the 80s 😏

If you said that the government was wiretapping your phone in 1999, everybody would have called you a nutjob.

Now if you say that the government is wiretapping your phone, no one cares.

How can Americans sleep at night now or look in a mirror without feeling disgusted and ashamed?

Americans insist that they live in a free country and just shrug when they are given overwhelming proof that the US is a police state.
