    Shit look what happened to democracy.

    *What has happened to democracy so far

    ** In the United States

    For what it’s worth, I’m sad that this had to be the way that the citizens of the United States found out what the rest of the world already knew, that their country is not a democracy.

      I’d take a look at the UK and the EU’s Digital ID pushes. Canada is also fairly rough. It’s not just the USA, though that nation is certainly the worst.

      UK is a close second with its Digital ID being required for work, crackdown on criticism of the UK/Israel, and locking down content deemed *undesirable * (porn, coverage of Ukraine-Russian war, coverage of Israeli atrocities in Palestine)
