The Patreon Act and the War on Terror

One of the most dangerous ways that governments extract power from its citizenry is to convince them they face such a monumental threat. The patreon act was passed within literally days after 9 11 while the rubble and corpses of the state's government were being used to spy not just on foreign nationals but american citizens in ways previously unthinkable. Anyone who even breathed a word of dissent against thepatreon act was instantly accused of either not taking seriously the threat posed by al-qaeda or as long as radicalism, marnator says.
