You're fucking retarded to think my post supports mass surveillance.
I'm glad that you don't.
The "but", if you read the words, doesn't say it's actually a bad concept, just that the left don't really support it.
You didn't say that it's a bad concept. Nor that it is a good concept. Only that it SOUNDS good. It sure did not sound to me like you oppose it. But I'll gladly take your word for it that you don't. Then we agree that opposition to mass surveillance is a good concept even if the left does not support it on principle.
They're just using it as cover argument to get what they really want, which is less immigration enforcement.
Maybe. And maybe they're smart enough to not support a strong centralized state when they (think they) don't control it.
