once again, for the people in the back: if you’re tempted to post something jokingly threatening towards any government employee or official (or a former president) or even “I sure wish someone would do something”, but you wouldn’t feel comfortable with a federal prosecutor reading your joke post aloud to a very unimpressed judge with no sense of humor, then don’t fucking post it. Do not assume “anything goes” on your private accounts or DMs or instant messaging services either.
I promise you it was not so funny or so cathartic to post that it’s worth the Secret Service or FBI showing up at your door, and potentially facing criminal charges. They take “joke” threats extremely seriously.
one way to be extra safe is to just not wish death on people. you know, for legal reasons
If things are about to get as bad as it seems, it is past time to start seriously considering what that means for your safety.
Anything you say over an IP line should be presumed to pass through an NSA server.
We've known that's the case now for over a decade, but even I have never fully internalized what that means, but with full fat fascism about to be at the helm ... it's worth thinking about.
"full fat fascism about to be at the helm" what are you talking about!! no it isn't!! you are admitting defeat half a year in advance!! what are you doing!!
for the love of god this
