I think literally everyone is being monitored by the FBI. So you know, go nuts. Your "List" becomes less useful when everyone is on it.

I'm not a big fan of anyone who causes undue harm to civilians.

The issue is that if you ever cross them in a meaningful way they can just refer to this “excuse to persecute you” list and pull the trigger.

Same reason Microsoft had a dedicated datacenter recording every phone call made in Palestine.

They don’t need this to do that if things go that direction. They can make up whatever they want.

Yeah I mean that's true but I'm saying it's less useful as a list of terrorists. It just becomes a list of everybody.

And it s fucking using your god given right to criticize a country You are the brainwash saying I dont deserve privacy cause I'm a nice boy that never did nothing wrong without even beginning to conceive what s the issue with it

Oh I'll use my God given right to criticize.

Shut the fuck up you don't know me; you know NOTHING of me, peon. I don't like Israel's government doing atrocities, I was just saying it slightly differently. I'm mad as hell about privacy but there's FUCKALL I can do about it. I weep for the myriad issues with my shit hole country.
