  • Call officers who hide as “undercover agents” but we call them in other countries “secret police” and

    Holy shit dude, secret police and undercover pigs are not the same. Not that I harbor any sympathies for the pigs, but at least you live in a nation where people don’t just get disappeared. The Stasi and the Gestapo… those guys would laugh at your police. They could black bag you and noone would ever know what happened to you… you’d just disappear, no courts, no lawyers, no way to find out… just poof, gone in the night… Shit, the SRB alone killed half a million people in Uganda.

    The Mississippi SovCom was a secret police and under Hoover the FBI could be called a secret police, but the mere fact that you can express this opinion here and now without fearing repercussions is a testament to how much you do not live under the thump of a secret police.

    You’re spot on on the rest of your points, but this one error undermines your argument, don’t make it.
