Americans are slaves.

When cows are sent to slaughter, most cows go quietly, but some smart cows realize what's happening and try to resist.

Americans today are like the zombie cows. The police state obviously expands everyday, but Americans are so enslaved now that they beg for more laws and say that anyone who supports freedom is a racist nutjob that should be banned, get an IRS audit, be arrested, or killed.

Cambodia and China once sent people to the countryside to be controlled and killed, but now the elites are trying to funnel people to the cities where they can be controlled and starved.

Americans scream nothing is more important than safety, but Americans will soon find that living in a prison is hell.

One reason Americans support tyranny is that they think that they are exempt from the police state and tyranny only applies to everybody else.

Americans say fake news must be banned because only the government can tell you the truth.

Americans insist outlawing protests and masks will only apply to Communists.

Americans think NDAA indefinite detention without trial, no fly lists, TSA groping, NSA wiretapping, and torture only applies to Muslims.

Americans scream only drunk-drivers need to stop for checkpoints.

Americans swear a wall and closing the border will stop illegal immigrants, but Americans do not have the mental capacity now to understand that a wall and shutting the border will be used to keep Americans IN.

Americans scream carrying cash or depositing less than $10,000 into your own bank account must be illegal because someone might use drugs.

Americans insist straws must be banned to help the state meet their private prison quotas.

Americans say that there must job-killing regulations to protect the environment.

Americans swear guns must be banned because blacks might shoot someone.

Americans insist filling out CAPTCHA forms only bothers spammers.

Americans have become so batshit insane now that they insist the only possible way to deal with a trade deficit and low prices is to beg for tariffs that increase costs and fund US wars, tyranny, and debt instead of boycotting imports or lowering regulations.

The government can do everything, but can you can do nothing.

The government must know everything about you, but the government will tell you nothing.

Are Americans this stupid?

The entire US seems to be committing suicide.

Did you copy-paste this? Seems like a weird post to leave this comment in response to.

You are going to start seeing more and more of these spammers. Say what you want about voat but their voting system does do a good job of filtering out low effort spam.

It also does a good job of filtering out any opinion that goes against the groupthink.

It does, but not entirely. I would argue that the censorship on voat is still far lower than Reddit; but of course it does in effect exist. What we have here on Saidit is definitely better than voat, for now. But the propagandists are just now starting to set up camp and they have a lot of tactics to exploit these types of message boards. You are going to start to see a lot of bot comments, board sliding, and wall of text crap.

I would like to see more tools for users to customize their experience. For example have friends groups and black lists that allow you to bump the comments of people you think make intelligent comments more visible and filter out the spam. Give the option to have your friends group's lists effect your experience so you don't personally have to filter every spammer. Allow you to have a friends tab next to top and hot etc that will be the top rated posts according to your friends group.
