Who is this imaginary "historical communist" you mentioned?

You're claiming Mao killing millions with idiotic policies (not to mention all the scapegoats he killed intentionally) was okay because he was "trying"?

Or are you talking about Stalin, Lenin, or Castro?

Who is telling you that you "have to live under constant surveillance" and so on?

You'd rather have someone run the country into the ground while lying to you about than intentions (which you're gullible enough to believe apparently, for better or worse) than not?

I have no idea what is happening in our schools these days, but obviously something is lacking.

"Who is telling you that you "have to live under constant surveillance" and so on?"

I was born in the US, didn't have a choice!

You think you live under constant surveillance in the US? While there might be more surveillance than you like, claiming there is constant surveillance everywhere in the nation (or anywhere really) is ridiculous.

You highly and vastly underestimate the scope of data collection.
