So, I guess, if the #trumpregime can detain immigrants without any notice and process and deport them, #wethepeople, via the congress, can also jail a president that poses a clear #securityrisk to the #us without any notice and process and without formal #impeachment procedure.

Now you're taking the debate back to the 1876 split of the First International. Centralists vs decentralists, stateist vs anarchist and which side of that fence you're on.

"Bakunin characterised Marx's ideas as authoritarian and argued that if a Marxist party came to power its leaders would end up as oppressive as the ruling class they had fought against"

#Labour’s decision to try and ban face coverings is based on an increasingly #authoritarian #state‘s understanding that #masks represent one of the few remaining, readily available, and effective #protections against the crackdown on #protest rights.

#Genetic data repo #OpenSNP to self-destruct before authoritarians weaponize it
The reason, according to #bioinformatics researcher Bastian Greshake Tzovaras, one of the founders of the project, is the dissolution of genetic testing biz #23andMe and the potential weaponization of genetic data by #farright #authoritarian regimes.

"#Russia Dismisses Claims Of Blood-Coughing Mystery Virus, Cites Common Respiratory Infections"

ndtv.com/world-news/russia-dis

Russian #health authorities are probably right, it's probably a common ailment that happens seasonally

The thing is, we can't trust #authoritarian regimes. Look how the govt of #China covered up the initial #COVID outbreak

And now, in the #USA, we can't trust anything the authorities say either, as #Trump and his band of morons gut the govt health agencies we rely on

The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with #authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective #resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early.

Yeah this kind of makes sense.

#Musk is skipping now from training it's (anti woke) #XAi model by real-life rightwing extremistst on #Twitter to training the latter by the former. So XAi owns Twitter now (and everybody in it).

Sales pitch could be to customize you own little #authoritarian society with your own digital (social media) tools.
Lets say in for instance Turkmenistan or Argentine.

Business risk is to receive a bullet in your head by the #resistance before.

@heidilifeldman @JonChevreau #ICE is the modernday #Gestapo, no question. Never in my wildest dreams did I think the country where I was born, grew up, and believed in its greatness, would become just another #authoritarian #shithole police state with full-on censorship, roving goon squads scooping people of the street and disappearing them, and so many other horrors.
