Great article, thanks. There is a terrific movie about the East German Stasi called “The Lives of Others” (2006). I saw it prior to the madness of covid; it would be good to re-watch.

Great Article. This man should not be VP.

“What made Walz’s snitch line so evil was that it combined the madness of crowds with the bureaucratic power of the state.” Yup. Great article.

The older I get the more I get concerned about the power of bureaucratic state.

I disagree. Anyone who would create a snitch line is evil. You can't separate my evil from the evil of my actions. My actions are me.

What Tim Walz was preaching clearly went against his actual practices. It's one of those old "Actions speak louder than words" axioms. Walz can talk a good talk, but his actions clearly show that he was interested in invading the privacy of those who live in his own state. And that should tell me that he'd be interested in doing the same thing if he became the VP.
