You did make a political reference, I just don't think you realize it.. which in itself is funny as hell to me, and would be humiliating to you if you understood.
You tied the LGBT crowd (morons that allow men to use women's bathrooms, puberty blockers, drag shows, etc), to those who develop software to spy on us.
Or maybe it was just the way you worded it?
It is always amusing to witness someone that apparently achieved some level of competence or even mastery in a narrow discipline, assume that that achievement is transferrable to the balance of disciplines or bodies of knowledge, and then tell others they are wrong based on that arrogance.
First off, I did not say it was the LGBT crowd I was referencing so go screw yourself on that. I am not going to accept your assumed and unintelligent inference.
The LGBT crowd didnt allow anything to happen. They applied pressure. The individuals I was referencing was
anyone, regardless of political affiliation, special interest and all the way down to voters and those who failed to vote that simply possess weak character that allow stupid shit to occur, that are responsible for the stupid shit.
There is a tiny minority of very noisy people that push the stupid shit and then there are three groups that allow it to happen:
- The political individuals that think they will benefit from allowing it to happen.
- The individuals that believe compassion is the ultimate virtue and have nothing better to do than join any cause that claims to advance the cause of compassion.
- The majority of the population that is weak, apathetic and straight up pathetic that stand by and are too cowardly to oppose even thought they disagree.
It is the conservatives who do most of the spying and create laws and precedent to allow more spying.
It was a conservative supreme court in 1979 (Smith v. Maryland) that ruled that you give up your rights to privacy when you hand information to a 3rd party. This is referred to as the third-party doctrine. Prosecutors and police call it the gift that keeps on giving. It means the government can obtain information about you from 3rd parties without a warrant.
True or not, who cares who they are politically affiliated with. Why did the liberals not reverse the decision when they regained power? They have had 43 years to do it and never did so they are just as bad. You dont get to claim the others are evil, inherit policy from them, take advantage of that policy and then claim you are better than or even somehow virtuous because you didnt implement.
People like you simply drive division. You don't seem to have any other purpose other than trying to show others how smart you are. The whole purpose of this thread was to attempt to show others how dumb they are for having a smart phone and brag how smart you are for never having had one.
