But in the past it was almost exclusively the domain of feds. And they mostly only busted it out on reasonably legitimate enemies of the state. And maybe they did some parallel construction stuff on serious crimes that don't really pertain to national security.
Now it's bored state cops doing dragnets on people doing border runs to states where weed is legal. |

Date: August 6th, 2026 10:38 PM Author: Aromatic coffee pot there's a lot of stuff that works like you described (untouchable because it's invaluable to The Machine). people don't like to recognize or admit this because it makes it so there's no human beings they can blame and it's also boring and i guess blackpilling
the older i get, the clearer it becomes to me that most of what happens in the world is outside of human design. there's no actual human mechanism to stop the inexorable advance and consolidation of technology and capital. but then eventually, the system will break down and collapse anyway, like it always has throughout history, without humans deliberately doing anything to bring that about, either |

Date: August 6th, 2026 10:46 PM Author: Flirting headpube 'blame' would be best apportioned against those with the most power and cash, in line with the old maxim 'to whom much is given, much is expected.' but you can understand why a media and culture shaped around the worship and protection of power would suppress that kind of message.

Date: August 6th, 2026 10:54 PM Author: Aromatic coffee pot the point is that no one can be blamed, though. no one has even close to enough power to actually change the system in any consequential way. it's literally impossible. to speak of "blame" at all is incoherent
the system cannot be changed or "reformed" from within. it could only ever be destroyed by an outside force |

He said during the nfl draft in like 2018 in nashville or whatever, they had some marathon in the morning. They had on camera some guy dropping a bag off next to a trash can near crowds.
This dude was working special ops on some command center with like big screens all over the wall. He said they saw the guy on camera drop it off. They within minutes were able to pick him out (general description, clothing) amongst tens of thousands of people, he downtown at that moment. And get cops on him. . He thought it was crazy.
