[@arcguardian]

Cause the op picked the right track for it. "If you're listening to this, you are the resistance, and the battle has just begun." Steady progressive beat with piano in the background and a killer quote to punctuate. You got urself an open ending leading to a sequel.

@@turbomunch yes I have worked for the Drio Rotterdam from mid 2021 until the start of this year due to my assignment ending. Deep fakes are used by cybercriminals to impersonate people online. This might seem minor at first but can do quite a lot of damage if used correctly like having a deep fake of a celebrity make a racist statement and sharing it online the damage to that individual can be very serious turn that celebrity into a political figure and turn that racist statement into treats to another country and you have a International incident on your hands on smaller scales you could use it to mimic someone's voice combine that with some purchase able privet info from the dark web and you can do some messed up stuff.

[@TycoNewRC]

It’s your fault that you fail to help lawfully end the existence of police and the rest of government. You can’t think of any good reason to support their existence in the first place, since there is nothing they do for anyone that couldn’t be done by the Private Sector (which would follow the "treat others as you'd like to be treated" rule of life) and funded by voluntary donors instead of stealing money from people and calling it “taxes”. If you continue to support the existence of police and prisons and the rest of government, you fail at proving yourself to be a good person. Take some responsibility and learn how to live in harmony with Natural Law.

[@dappernarwhal2177]

If "intelligence" liaisons wanted you out, they could cause such a reaction, have it filmed, then use admitting you into inpatient care, against your will, as "protocol" for taking your power of attorney from you and your family.
