     @bojanland If I thought that it wasn't worthwhile to fight authoritarianism just because abuses happen everywhere, I would have a different job.

     @evacide No reason to get excited. Bullies always doing bully things, whether they work for FBI or are unemployed, they're always the same types of people. I was locked up and abused here in Canada over a 100 character tweet. A newspaper took a photo from my tweeter account and posted a terrorist warning about me. I hadn't done anything even illegal or questionable. My tweet didn't even have anything illegal either. Authority types can flex their muscles whenever they want, anywhere.
