@scudsucker

if your NSA wants to read my bitter WhatsApp messages to my ex-wife for their amusement, I wish them all the happiness I wish her.

So you are an embittered and angry person?Maybe you once googled a suspicious term? Anonymously posted not so benign thoughts?

Are you a part of one of the wrong groups of people? Have a faith that is viewed with suspicion?

Thank you for applying for our lists! Do not wait for a follow up, we will never let you know when your status of inclusion changes…

What’s that you say? You belong to the privileged groups? Well done! Mr. Niemöller would be proud of you.

You have a very common, and very dangerous, attitude.

Not forgetting that @scudsucker is not an American and has no intention of ever setting foot on our continent, much less our country.

It’s a lot easier to be sanguine about this stuff when you don’t live in a powerful country with powerful agencies rapidly sliding into Big Brother levels of perpetual authoritarian dystopia.

I live in a country very far away from US jurisdiction. And I do not plan to visit the USA. Because it is not a place I can afford.

So I don’t really care if the USA is spying on my somewhat sad life.

This is off-topic for FQ.

As is this.

Let’s get back to FQ, everyone.
