"Can't go to a movie the first week it comes out! Why? 'Cause n____s are shooting at the screen. What kind of ignorant s___ is that? 'Hey, this is a good movie, this is so good I gotta bust a cap in here!'"

It doesn’t matter whether you know the government is specifically spying on you. It’s damaging enough to believe that it might be.
“A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.” Writing in 1928, John Shedd wasn’t really talking about ships. He was talking about life. And in American life, we no longer feel safe even in the harbor.
Years ago, my girlfriend and I went to see a movie. What we saw, I’ve no idea, but I do know we had a terrible time, and it had nothing to do with what was on the screen and everything to do with what was going on in the theater. People were yelling at the screen, talking to each other, and smoking. My girlfriend mentioned the smoking, and I said that if that was the only problem we encountered, we’d be lucky, as I’d recently witnessed a bloody knife fight between two girls over a baby-daddy in a nearby theater.
I mention this because when you think your life may be in jeopardy, it’s hard to enjoy entertainment, and enjoyment is the whole point of movies. Movies require your buy-in for success, you must turn off reality and connect with the characters.

Just as movies require your buy-in and focus for success, so too does life. And that’s a problem with 21st-century America and the always-on-everywhere swamp. The danger is not so much that Big Brother is watching and trying to control our every move. He/it doesn’t have to. Our knowing that the state could be watching or listening is enough. It’s called the “Chilling Effect—basically, the government doing something that chills citizens’ willingness to exercise their constitutional rights for fear of reprisals.

I bet that the government does not have ANTIFA or BLM under surveillance.

They do. They just don’t use what they know against them.
But it’s important that they be able to yank the choke chain on their violent supporters should their brown shirts ever get too uppity.
The specter of the DC Gulag has shut down any organized grassroots opposition to the DC Junta. I assume we are interacting with members of Wray’s goon squad every day on patriotic sites like FR.
They need to go to a better neighborhood for a movie theater.
It’s what happens when the ghetto cannibals take over society. Yes, I am looking directly at you Obama. This is your thugs that you placed all over Washington DC. The USA really is a banana republic.
Which drove the home theater industry. Why subject yourself to the antics of the monkeys in a movie theater?

Oh, no! That can’t Bee!
People have been silencing themselves for a long time. The tipping point was with political correctness. That’s when the state reached critical mass to rapidly reduce and/or eliminate our rights and liberties. The only way to reclaim our freedoms is to exercise them per the Constitution. If we all do that then government cannot arrest all of us. It will take significant courage to swing the pendulum in the opposite direction.
Make free speech in public a daily practice. You’ll be surprised how many people agree with you. But yeah, there will be whack jobs that don’t, but that’s the point. They need to see you fearless. It will scare the hell out of them. They are not used to being challenged.
When you fear tyrants there will be tyranny. When tyrants fear you, there will be freedom. Quite simply, tyrants are totally insecure and know deep inside their ideas do not have popular support. They know they have to use force to achieve their objectives. They count on your fear to get their way. The only way to change that is to scare the hell out of them.
You will find it empowering.
They don’t have to. They are running them.
Exactly. He was describing how black moviegoers typically act. Whites are generally well-behaved in theaters, toddlers being an occasional exception.

Being well-behaved is racist. /s
As valid as any points may be, that he is trying to make - I can’t get by my skepticism of a person who once took a date to a clearly trash-culture dump of a movie complex where he had seen a knife-fight ‘recently’.
That kind of judgement is difficult to overlook, even years later.
I bet they do. First, many of them are likely on the payroll. Second, they’re useful idiots, and the government trusts them only to do their bidding - they wouldn’t invite them to dinner and prolly have bugged their phones.
In the USA, today, you can wake up one day and find out that your bank accounts have been “frozen.” (Seized). This is what they call debanking. Essentially you are a non-person. This can be done to you without explanation - perhaps you “liked” something that a “LGBTXYZ” said was offensive. Perhaps you bought a gun.
The government knows about this, and actively promotes it. Banks are highly regulated in the USA. They do nothing without the approval of the government. Therefore the government is doing the debanking.
This is illegal, wrong and unconstitutional. No one is trying to do anything about it, even those useless Republicans.
Antifa and BLM are surveillance. The members are in the domestic Stasi, and will be involved in foot and vehicular surveillance on regular Americans. They are basically assets of not government, but whatever really runs our government.
