I fucking hate this country. Government supporting one side while idiot civilians do all they can to help the other. It's not a war crime, but I feel like it should be treason.

Lol what type of fucking photoshopped image nonsense is this?

That looks nothing like him at all.

We all realized in like 2007 that Facebook has a more comprehensive database on the populace than the FBI.

Then Snowden happened.

Our govt wanted no part in slowing down big tech creating a surveillance state. They all but gave them the green light.
