        Yeah, i guess so.

        For a second there, I thought that democracy and fundamental human rights were under attack, and a call to action was in order.

        I’ll be quiet, and maybe binge watch something.

        Thanks for pulling me back from the brink.

        You are very kind and thoughtful.

      And you fundamentally misunderstand how post- totalitarian societies work. It’s not about data availability but will to pursue these things. Which to some degree can be necessary to avoid final decomposition of civil cohesion.

      Besides: Crowd sourced data collection is rarely viable as judical evidence. Very rarely. And then it becomes either a witchhunt or a nice to know thing but nothing more.

              Thankfully I don’t have to. Not my apes,not my circus - but living in totalitarian and (various) post totalitarian societies over the last decades (my first protest was still again the Iron curtain) and decades of activism I am fairly sad for anyone in the US but feeling also relieved that this shitshow is reasonably far away.
