This is true in rougly the same sense that a guy on the subway reeking of urine, screaming, and waving a knife around is “feared.”
One of the things I've learned recently that has not filled me with joy is how hard it is to hold the government accountable when they violate rights. So many things Trump's regime has done to people are illegal, but without recourse.

Three members of the nonprofit behind Netrunner talk about balancing growth against an anti-corporate stance.
Imagine having Bruce Springsteen AND Billy Bragg release songs about how much you fucking suck and how much the people fighting you rule you within the same 48 hours
