Hmm I stated in my first sentence people don't want a police state, don't want border controls, don't want to get checked up at the airport, don't want to get a drivers licence, don't want to open their bags for a security guard at a shop and so on but their are good reasons why you can't have that freedom.  We will see what happens but if between now and lets say 2028 in DC the crime rate went down, the homeless rate is down, murder rate goes down, drug addicts went down, and the number of teens only getting a probabtion for serious offenses went down....Is that a bad thing or not?  

It's already down







This has nothing to do with out of control crime rates...

Only the homelessness rate went up for the first time in 17 years after a steady decline. A police state isn't going to change that. This is:

Social media is truly a disease if it comes to how people perceive information. It's the same in Germany. We have much less homicides as 20-30 years ago but our Nazi party is gaining more and more votes and many of them come from people who think we live in a country where you can't walk 5 meters without fear anymore.

We have one of the lowest homicide rates of the planet but hey, guys like Elon Musk and obviously our Nazi party always tell us how Germany went downhill so it has to be true! And when I tell those people that they read the damn news 150 times a day and watch 500 videos a day but in the past they just checked a newspaper in the morning and watched the news on TV at 8pm so that this is the reason why it sounds much worse to them they are just too stupid to get it. 

When I was a child (between 6-9 years old) I was the whole day alone with my bike in the village I lived then. Some friends lived 7km away and I went alone to them on my bike and nobody gave a shit. Nowadays nobody even in that village which probably never had something bad happening the last 50 years will let their kid walk alone to the school even if it's just 500 meters away. 

This is just insanity nowadays.
