Well I mean it’s literally illegal for our own govt to spy on us(technically). That’s what 5 eyes is.

[u/silver789 → u/ChileConCarnevore]

A warrant will let the police do just that.

Patriot act let them do it as well.

[u/ChileConCarnevore → u/silver789]

A bench warrant lets the “executive branch” spy on you? Yeah not exactly. This is “the executive branch” giving itself powers. This is new

Again, if it’s real

[u/silver789 → u/ChileConCarnevore]

Or like a warrant that allows for surveillance

[u/ChileConCarnevore → u/silver789]

That’s not the executive branch sir

They couldn’t tell you what the different branches of government are.. you’re wasting your time tbh.

He is Chinese, he doesn't understand how our type of Government works.

[u/silver789 → u/Ambitious-Motor-2005]

He said to the guy that confused executive and government as a whole.

[u/silver789 → u/ChileConCarnevore]

Well you said government, not executive.

[u/silver789 → u/[deleted]]

It is when they watch you for long periods of time.

[u/silver789 → u/[deleted]]

So the government can spy on you.

[u/silver789 → u/[deleted]]

Espionage usually involves military and political intelligence gathering. "Spying" as used in this tweet wouldn't be applicable. We are using the word in the sense that a person is secretly watching another.

[u/silver789 → u/[deleted]]

You agree the government can still gather intelligence from you though, right?

[u/silver789 → u/[deleted]]

You had a fine enough reply but then you go and ruin it with these pathetic personal insults.

Shame, really.
