A basic fallacy and tautology, I'm sure if I list a thinker you will simply state they aren't respected or are 'fringe'.

Does the Chicago blacksite count extraordinary evidence? There is so much evidence of police illegality, wanton murder, and lack of criminal action at every level, from the bottom to to the top where our country commits torture and does nothing that it is extraordinary for anyone to not belief America is a police state. You life in an oligarchy ruled by a corrupt elite, I can even site academic evidence of such but again, you argue by tautologies so why bother? Open your eyes.

This, and your freedom to comment about it on a public forum, is pretty much conclusive proof that America is NOT a police state.

When this evidence is suppressed or anyone attempting to cite this evidence is disappeared, THEN you should start worrying.


"it is extraordinary for anyone to not belief America is a police state"

But the vast vast majority of people disagree and think that your opinions are extremist nonsense.

Where are all the conspiracy theorists coming from on HackerNews recently?

It's like you went to a website of logical fallacies and said to yourself, "how many of these can I commit on a single HN thread?"

Fly away, troll.
