And this is why I just can't understand Whirly and his "Governments should protect some people from information".
Here in the US, all the lefties hated the FBI and CIA because of the post 9-11 Islam hunts. Then Trump happens, and suddenly they're all pro FBI and CIA.
It's almost like the powers that be figured out how to switch off critical thinking. Just replace "It's to fight terrorists" with "Nazi's" and watch the people cheer as you strip them of their liberties.
Remember when the Rjght was prudes who launched a war on sex in media and advertising? No one went for it, but call it exploitation and everyone starts demanding less sex on tv. Better yet body positivity, no hourglass shapes anymore, all fatties.
Ignore the man behind the curtain, ignore how classic conservative values just happen to want the same thing modern far left ideology wants, which is total trust in authority and an end to sex sells culture.

Odd, as I don't remember hating the FBI and CIA after 9/11? I remember hating that Homeland Security was enacted by the Bush admin and it stripped us of our rights to the cheers of the Right.
But I don't recall blanket hatred of the FBI and CIA. Sure I'll call out specific shitty incidents that our law enforcement agencies do, like the Waco massacre, that was handled most poorly, children didn't have to die.
I do recall the Right magically turning on the FBI et al whenever Trump ordered them to, whenever some agency didn't bend to his will. The attacks on Capitol Police during the insurrection and attempted coup. We saw it over and over here with the KMC Trumper squad.
he just does it for all the attention you're giving him

I mean what does this even mean Mack? Why did "he" specifically have to go of all the evil despots in the world?
That's just Blair/Bush propaganda.
All we've done is create ISIS in his place, which is not only much worse but a more global threat.
If we were more objective, less greedy and less brainwashed we would have had our eyes more on Putin and China at that time. Instead of Saddam, who we armed. What a joke.
