Is your goal that we should just.. not say this is illegal? Not argue that it's not okay? Literally fold and accept fascism?
Because that seems to be the narrative you're pushing, which is the polar opposite of constructive in this situation.
Super weird and suspect that every thread seems to be full of people saying this is normal. That this is just how it is, that it's been going on forever, and that anyone who has an issue with it is being unrealistic. Really, really weird. Almost like they're cryptofascists.
HMMMMMMMM.
