alt Hacker NewsI am obviously not wholesale endorsing the administration. The request as-issued is a positive thing, and indeed _would encourage_ discussing why we have term limits, why we should push back against autocrats, bigotry, etc. If they go around arresting people for not obeying their request, I'll feel differently.
The only use for lofty values or nuance that fascists have is for distracting from their plain agenda. At the point we're at, it's prudent to wonder why someone would help carry water if they don't support the regime.
Also, setting your criteria at "arresting people" seems like straightforward denial, especially as we're talking about broadcasters where the actual threat being wielded is to shut down their transmitters.
I'd say the GP comment was entirely appropriate, despite it being flagged by the tone police. The context is very important here, and you seem to be deliberately ignoring it.
