> "you civil libertarian types are all going to lose. We are going to steamroll you." And dismissed any and all concerns related to the technology.

That's pretty spot on, matches with my experience as well as every historical record ever written. We have a country right now that has installed labor/concentration camps and the rest of the world is dancing to their fiddle. Steamroll is an understatement. I don't want to know what is going on at those camps, but it wouldn't surprise me if many wish they could be steamrolled to end it all.

"Civil Libertarian Types" are abound on HN. They forget human nature and think that change is right around the corner. Sometimes I wonder if they're playing the devil's advocate or if they're really that stupid. It's bread and circuses of a very amusing and gullible sort.

These sort of people have no incentive whatsoever to change what they're doing. So yes, they're laughing at you as they fuck you over and profit from it. They know you're powerless, and they know you know it too.

What are you going to do about it? I'd genuinely like to see more than keyboard warring from you CLTs, but you're pretty useless about the whole thing.
