The Capitol Attack Doesn’t Justify Expanding Surveillance
While the events of 1&#x2F;6 are hardly justifiable, I find it deeply troubling that the same crowd who was calling for the abolition of the police a few months ago is now earnestly encouraging informing on their own friends, family, and neighbors because they deserve to be punished and most importantly, humiliated. I hardly believe the FBI needs any assistance in locating anyone, but I fear this is settling a troubling precedent that has not been seen since 20th century Europe.<p>In the months and years to come, we must try to not forget that the government exists solely for the benefit of its constituents, not the other way around.<p>The ruled class, red and blue, does not want freedom from oppression, they want to be the oppressors.
