@futurebird I assume the person who deleted the footage also killed him or is covering him. It's the same thing I assume when cops body or car cams aren't working in other circumstances .. maybe billionaires aren't as different as the rest of us all the time.

@jmcrookston @penpencilbrush yep, it continues to shock me no matter how many times I'm disappointed.
And then every once in awhile I find myself doing something I generally consider immoral and justifying it to myself and it's a realization.
But overall I think that's individualism - when I'm responding to an individual, I feel my individualistic, maybe less morally coherent, response is appropriate. When I think of it in a wider cross generational context I continue to think acting as if everyone in the world has morals has value.

@inthehands for me, it's kind of... The Republicans & authoritarian leaning people in US govt have been preparing for this, laying the tracks etc, since W at least. And now they're running the trains. And so many people want to act like Trump is just the sole mover & actor doing this rather than admitting the complicity of those that laid the tracks (multiple decades of federal governments) and are running the train (current congress).
It's not that it's the same, it's just the expected extension of existing policy. Like first they pass the Patriot Act and it takes a while to normalize, but for the last decade you can expect your communications to be read by the government, and now the devices inspected during govt interactions and not long after you can be arrested for just trying to have secrets on your phone.
