      It is illegal in some countries to fully cover your face in public. If it became a way to bypass surveillance, it could be made into law if it wasn’t already :(

      Edit: for those wondering, Switzerland is one of them. Though they don’t have a large number of public cameras (yet?).

        Do I give the air of someone who gives the first fuck about ‘legality’ under settler-colonial ‘legal’ frameworks?

            Fuck does any of this have to do with my point? ‘Authoritarian’ is just a McCarthyite smear in the first place; I’m talkin about not being able to trust the settler-colonial government to handle my race’s data, at all, in any manner or circumstance, and civil disobedience against said settler-colonials. It’s not about ‘authoritarian’ countries to me, it’s about blatantly-racist settler-colonials that can’t be trusted, and don’t you ever fix your fingers to try and ‘amend’ my words again.

                And like that, you’ve broken clause c of my rules-- I don’t hold dialogues with those who even so much as sound like settlers, and that was a real crackerish JAQoff you just pulled there my boi. Fuck out my inbox.

                Imagine, after my people are still getting literally genocided by the occupation government that stole us from our homes, forced us to build their country for them, then spent 200 years telling us they’d never pay us for it; imagine thinking that I’m ever going to waste my time reserving more of my energy for people halfway 'cross the world, that ain’t never oppressed me and never will, when my most immediate problem is you, and everyone who thinks like you.

                Real talk, if you can’t wrap your malaised meat around the concept that your mentality is my enemy before any external ‘enemy’ that y’all claim to have, you’re not fit to discuss with.
