    K gov has officially publicly announced that anyone on X who retweets an ongoing protest is a terrorist and they will be arrested. Elon musk is officially a terrorist and the uk gov has repeatedly asked usa to hand him over.

    And in france it was many times in the news about a group of friends who were arrested for using Signal. A girl they tried to convince to start using signal called the police and said they are using anonymous communication called Signal and then they were arrested and all their computers taken and forensics went through all the data on their computer and judge said its criminal evidence they have ad blockers on their browser.

    Could you provide sources for these, I have never heard such a thing and can’t find anything resembling either story online.

    I will pedant your debatefetishist asshole in half, fuck face:

    Let’s get up a definition of oligarchy, shall we? You’re gonna run to Wikipedia or dictionary.com so I’ll just go for Wikipedia:

    Oligarchy (from Ancient Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía) ‘rule by few’; from ὀλίγος (olígos) ‘few’ and ἄρχω (árkhō) ‘to rule, command’)[1][2][3] is a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people. These people may or may not be distinguished by one or several characteristics, such as nobility, fame, wealth, education, or corporate, religious, political, or military control.

    Now, in the UK, there’s a population of around 70 million people, with 650 elected members of government and 805 unelected members, making up a rounding error of the total population.

    In America, over 300 million people are represented by 535 members of its senate, plus a handful of unelected judges and executive legislators. Again, they make up a rounding error of the population.

    France - 66 million, 925. Germany - 85 million, 733. Norway - 5 and a half million, 169. By all means, include the family members and hangers-on who aren’t actively in power but still weild it, and you could quadruple or quintuple those numbers. Doesn’t really matter, still comes out to a rounding error.

    Maybe instead of jacking yourself off over liberalism you should take a moment to actually step back and look at the situation a little more objectively. Being able to vote for which people the power rests with does not increase the number of people welding it.
