You’re a threat, too.
by Chris on Oct.31, 2007, under General Thoughts
If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to fear
If you’ve something to hide, you shouldn’t even be here
You’ve had your chance, now we’ve got the mandate
If you’ve changed your mind, I’m afraid it’s too lateWe’re concerned
You’re a threat
You’re not integral to the project
Update
Interestingly, today Bruce Schneier wrote an article about culture’s war on the unexpected that fits really nicely with this. It illustrates the flat-out falsehood of the statement “If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to fear.”
I have a hard time reading this; I realize that it’s unlikely that any of this will happen to me, but that’s not because it can’t, it’s because on some level I’m already suppressed in that way. This stuff makes me sick inside.
