The left does not seem to care about controlling criminals. They seem interested in controlling honest people.
There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt.
The govt is part of the crime/corruption problem.
The government IS organized crime. It is the job of organized crime to take advantage of the suckers who work for a living.
The reason why government wants a government-controlled digital currency system is so it will be able to know how much money you have and to take whatever it wants from you whenever it wants. It is NOT to stop crime! That’s what they will tell you, but it’s a lie.
No. Look at Covid. Very, VERY few enforcers were killed.

Tell me, Jose, how do are you able to charge such low prices for pick-up truck repair?
Please keep your voice down, there are hombres sleeping on the beds of the pick-up trucks.
Most of us couldn't even cancel our TV subscriptions when the media went full propaganda mode against Trump, or find alternatives to the tech companies that were actively working against us. How are we going to stand up against real oppression, the kind that is actually forced on us, if we couldn't even do that?
That will be two gold Putins and three silver Putins.
Vlad will be glad to cheat the IRS.
Where do the Putins come from?
Sanctions busting.
Losing “total control” as hillree put it.
Censor speech censor your money censor your guns censor your freedom.
Let no crisis go to waste as jan vones boasted, bottom up top down, swap places with anybody and just be happy.
Sound utopian? They can go there now in this world. People have been trying to flee it longer than our broken borders have been open.
Whatever border filters may be in effect now probably include the repelling of patriot refugees.
Whenever its advantageous to the government, we are criminals. As someone posted, they create criminals when they need them.
