      Ultimately, what I’m asking you is: why would I be opposed to a law that itself is 100% fine, just because the same legislators might later pass a different law that I don’t like?

      Ultimately because the basic premise of the law could (in general) be the basis for the government to remove our entire conversation here…

      It is potentially a tool to do this

      In 1984, the government rewrites history and uses a multitude of techniques that trick you into accepting things that are not true as being true.

      I don’t object for the sake of my my benefit, I object for the sake of yours (everyone).

      I see it a one degree increment on the proverbial frog in the proverbial pot, being slowly but surely brought to boil and it’s death, and I don’t really care who it affects in the moment.
