The Surveillance State and You
Everything is fine. Really. Put down the coffee, ignore the twitch in your eyelid, and repeat after me: We do not live in a police state. We live in the “Land of the Free,” a place where the Constitution is a sacred shield and the Fourth Amendment is the bedrock of our privacy.
We’re told this every day by the flag-pin-wearing performance artists in Congress and the Federalist Society monks who retreat to their mountain fastnesses to contemplate the “original public meaning” of eighteenth-century legal prose and then contort it into a modern interpretation to conform with the diktats of Stephen Miller and Donald Trump.
It’s a beautiful story.
It’s also a lie so massive, so brazen, and so technologically sophisticated that it would make the most hardened Stasi officer weep with envy before reaching for a notebook to take tips.
