Cool, so why stop there! Just make it so they always have access to my phone! Why would I need the right to use anything I want?
The government now needs needs me to get court approval to speak my mind to Trump. Require paperwork just to develop an app.
Surely nothing bad will happen if we just let this pot of water rise with frogs advocating it to get hotter.
You’re still acting like they don’t do this already.
So we just let them? "It's already happening, give into it. You'll learn to love and accept it."
We already have.
Giving up sure solves matters.
Stonewall should have complied. Why resist the cops arresting you for who you love? It's already stays quo.
MLK? Should have stayed quiet and not marched. He should have just stayed where he was and never be a figure people look up to.
Women's right to vote? Don't make me laugh! Women were always expected to just have babies and do the housework, anyone saying otherwise is a fool!
When the patriot act was passed, was it good and ethical because the FBI wiretapped anyone Hoover didn't like, and Nixon had tabs on every single person he hated?
TikTok is woman’s right to vote, I understand now.
