        American tech spying is nothing new, the elections in my country are already been impacted with american social media, wasting money to target usians for a change is still positive to me.

            But how does deploying intelligence contractors to cities specifically impact people outside the US? People outside the US are being surveilled, for sure, but I don’t think there’s any difference before or after deploying a contractor to Portland or whatever.

                You have it entirely backwards. They were already facing outward, fascism is imperialist repression turned inward.

                Amerika’s chickens are coming home to roost.

                  Outwardly, they were restrained. You’ll see something new. Enjoy your shadenfreude, I hope it isn’t too short lived.

                  Your opinion makes as much sense in the context of 1934 Germany, as it does in today’s USA.

                    Yeah, we will see something new.

                    We’ll see the US lose, and then continue to turn imperialist repression inward. Iran is going to win, Russia is going to win, China is going to win, and there’s nothing the US can do about it. Fewer and fewer people around the world will use US tech, so the repression will crank up on the people who keep using it. Eventually that’s just going to be the US and its closest allies.

                    Outwardly, they were restrained

                    Amerika was so restrained in destroying multiple countries, funding multiple genocides, running decades long kidnapping and torture operations, funding neocolonialism, etc. Only privileged EuroAmerikans could be this disconnected from reality.
