    “If you get in that situation, remember I’m just a random lemming and not a lawyer.”

    Indeed! And along those lines, ask for a lawyer if you’re arrested. Especially if you’re innocent. People who think “I’ll look guilty if I ask for a lawyer” just make themselves vulnerable to words being twisted against them.

      “I’ll look guilty if I ask for a lawyer”

      If you ever watch copaganda shows, you’ll see that the innocent are always anxious to talk to the cops, with tears in their eyes as the police comforting them, and the guilty are always the ones refusing to cooperate, saying they “know their rights”, and they’ll be lawyering up.

      This is intentional, the system wants you to believe that your only hope is compliance and no questions asked. That a good citizen knows that the constitution is just a piece of paper, and the only trait worth having is blind faith in your betters. That the common man has only the right to obey, consume product, and reproduce so that he can be replaced on the assembly line when he grows too old.

      If you are sickened by what I just said, hold onto that feeling, it means they haven’t completely gotten your soul yet.
