I'm not a big believer in the whole "you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" mindset, but it does make me curious what potential leak would threaten him.
Either way, I'm glad the Stasi is being exposed, but I hope it doesn't destroy Tucker.

It's rational in a world it makes sense. We don't live in such a world, unfortunately. We live in a world where saying the n word 20 years ago is grounds for having your life destroyed but actively calling for genocide isn't, as long as you're delivering the final solution to the enemy of the establishment.
I truly never thought I'd see a world like the cartoonish, ridiculous dystopias I grew up with in video games would become reality. I never, ever thought that briefly inconveniencing The Empire would get you hunted down and destroyed. But somehow, poorly written final fantasy plots became reality. Good thing I trained for this by playing as equally poorly written freedom fighters, I guess.
Anyone got a Black Blade I can use until I reclass to Paladin?
No it doesn't. Privacy is a fundamental aspect of freedom. Maybe you're an absolutist that doesn't value freedom, but your values are not objective, not universal. Disrespect others' values an autonomy and you will receive your well deserved ration of immediate violence.
Current year bears a lot of resemblance to the Game of Thrones series, really. It's like at some point we ran out of material and all of the internally consistent world-building and nuanced character development went to shit, only to be replaced by vapid husks of characters and plot contrivances at every turn.
I'm waiting for D&D to be announced as the writers for the great reset.
Nah, it'll have something true about it ... but CNN and friends won't bother with any context or measured, accurate analysis. It seems we're going full Richelieu on this one:
Give me six lines written by the most honourable person alive, and I shall find enough in them to condemn them to the gallows.

It only makes sense if you don't also factor in the NSA is run by rabid Democrats. (Which, of course it is - if the White House is insanely left-wing, the army is insanely left-wing, and the FBI is insanely left-wing, then it's just good workplace politics for the people at the NSA to also be chanting Black Lives Matter at workplace meetings) If there's things your hip, gay, left-wing neighbor could say publicly about Black people that your white right-wing ass couldn't think about saying online, then yes, hide everything you can from them.

We've living in a retarded dystopian fanfiction. The details of which sci-fi readers of the past would have mocked as amateurish.
A world ruled by really boring nerdy oligarchs whose footsoldiers are vindictive crossdressers.
The aftermath of Revenge of the Nerds that they didn't bother making a movie out of.
Cyberpunk?
Only because the so called right is full of cowards that would rather film some prole with delusions of grandeur filling out ballots instead of...
In Minecraft, of course.
Good analogy. This clown world feels like a Kefka Coup.

I was starting to think that the amount of political corruption is looking a bit like Frank Miller's Sin City.
A good analogy. Maybe a bit too plausible and grounded, though.
Something negative about George Floyd or an innocuous joke that the MSM will describe as “homophobia” 24/7
100% its going to be this.
Odds are the leak will be fabricated material.
