Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Based on the people I interact with daily basically no one realizes this is happening. Outside of the IT department no one realizes or cares. I asked how we were doing to deal with tariffs on electronics we regularly used a while back and was quietly told that was a political statement and shouldn't be brought up.
Now we have no plan and I'm too bummed to be smug about it.
Again, this is just my anecdotal view.
Ahh the classic US move, pretend the problem doesn't exist until it causes massive problems, then blame someone else.
Funny, that's the exact same vibe I always get from street interviews in Russia.
Well you may be jailed or killed if you say the problem does exist. In the US they choose to ignore the problem on their own free will.
It's the same exact playbook, so makes sense
It's been working out for the rich and powerful so far. Why wouldn't it work for us too?
FAFO
I had this conversation over Christmas with my family. As horrible as everything public is, I'm arguably more worried about how the cyber world. Nothing is private, the info is controlled, and the masses are far too ignorant to have any idea how fucked everything is. I mentioned something about how tik Tok is just a data collection so for China, and I got, "whatever, they already have all of my information". I can't then go on to explain why everything is so bad, because nobody knows anything about computers, and the newest generation coming up is arguably worse than boomers, because they've only ever know smartphones and tablets.
Half the IT department i work in built new gaming rigs ahead of time. The other half is non-gamers and republicans.
Id be relieved my work hardware is newer and good for a few years, if i wasn't a federal employee waiting to be fucked over.
Glad to hear you won't have to upgrade. Hopefully you can stay under the radar, but I definitely get this would be a rough time to be working for the fed. I sincerely wish you luck (and patience)
