20. For as long as I have been socially aware - the "others" have accused me of "support ' from SOROS

Unfortunately TRUTH has become fungible ,
with "alternate" truths able to gain "equality" in social discourse , ,
. . I am NOT challenging - your point of how the right has learned -
. . . the weaponization of internet funding tools . .
/
. . . just remembering, when I and My parents and their parents , have been socially involved, and some or another right winger - always "called us out" as 'communist dupes ' etc . . and often suggested we had been seeded by billionaire "lefty's"
/
. . .
. . . these are EXTREMELY AUTHORITARIAN extrajudicial government powers ,
. . . that may be necessary - >. . .for EXTREME / EXTREME SITUATIONS . .
/ /
. . . his use here feels to me / like a sign of the governments abandonment of the rule of law - due to a challenge that is admittedly - dangerous and economically harmfull /
/ / /
/ / / I can give you a couple pages worth of "challenges" that have faced our country - that if the leadership were so inclined - -
. . . THIS TYPE OF SUSPENSION of rights - could have been " reasonably"
justified to enough people to pass without challenge - -
/
- - - I suggest - we need to be vigilant to challenge government excess -
. . even when it is against a group, or idea, or protest we condemn . .
. . . CANADAIN AND US governments have LAWS that can be enforced to adress these situations - - WITHOUT opening the slippery slope of - those in power -
. . . SUSPENDING THOSE LAWS < < < AND PROTECTIONS > > >

. . . Listen , I respect you, ALOT, in the short time ive been here -
. . you have shared . wisdom, and leads for learning . . .
. . . that said - - this something , I cant find the "alternate truths" on,
, but since you and so many seem to think I am wrong . . I will re-evaluate . .
Thanks, again : )
Peace
