LA riots. You’d think the entire city is being burned to the ground. I spoke to a friend who lives there yesterday. The riots must be extremely localized because she’s totally unaffected. Once again, the news is an exercise in manipulation. Trump is using this to advance authoritarian, and I expect surveillance controls. We voted for closed borders and the US of old. I fear what we’re going to get is digital biometric ID and centralized control, which is the opposite of the old US.

I’m sorry if you thought I had any sympathies towards rioters. I have none. Or anyone in the country illegally. I can’t imagine entering a foreign country illegally and thinking I have a right to benefits or voting. I just think that every conflict or crisis always seems to be used to take away freedom and bring in more surveillance and always in one direction whether it’s the Patriot Act, the PREP Act, etc.
