I am not concerned about what is popular. I am concerned about principles. I am not in favor of fascism.

And you are unfamiliar with Apple's support of fascism? Do you not remember what they did to Indiana?

Also, enforcing the existing rule of law is not Fascist. Modifying the existing rule of law to benefit influential corporations is Fascist. Look up the unholy alliances between large Corporations and Governments during the Heyday of Fascism under Mussolini and Hitler.

It was collaboration of big business and big government against everyone else.

What is past is past. I am focusing on the present and the future, which seems only proper since the past cannot be changed, and given Apple’s present resistance to the FBI, has no obvious bearing on the current situation anyway. Is not bringing up the past is a “non-sequitur”?

You need to explain how compelling Apple to produce custom government security hacking operating system code is not in the direction of fascism

a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

(Mirriam-Webster)

a “collaboration of big business and government against everyone else” sounds exactly like what the FBI is asking for.

The existing rule of law is CALEA, which the magistrate judge in NY somehow was able to find and take note of, and which the room-temp IQ california magistrate judge somehow missed.

Do you have a problem with the other magistrate judge?

Do you have a problem with this? Do you sense a contradiction? What is your resolution to the contradiction if you do?
