Goons don't scale well. Wide-scale intimidation does.

The OP's point can be understood as an automization and mechanization of such targeting. Which will be necessary if the scope of thoughtcrime prosecution is to expand

Cost kind of stops the government from sending goons right now, sure some governments do it but, it's costly at scale.

> It is also cheaper than ai rocket and more precise too

Never stopped people overengineering :P

Who needs rockets when you have autonomous mini drones

Wasn’t ICE pretty much doing exactly that with no oversight or accountability?

Stop justifying more horrible stuff with "there is already some horrible stuff"

The government already does that. The only challenge is scale.

You're being silly, the missile thing was hyperbole. Your computer will direct the thugs to your door.

> Nobody stops the government from sending goons to your door right now for a snarky comment.

This is just dumb. They literally don't know who wrote it, and have to assign somebody to track you down. The fact that they're putting infrastructure on your computer and on the network to make this one click away for them matters.

The goons are. Almost no government can create goons that are submissive enough to comply with any kind of crazy order.
