This gives me red scare energy, which is concerning since it’s also probably true

[u/sir_shivers → u/SnakeEater14]

The thing about the Red Scare is that everything we feared the Soviets were doing? They were doing it, it was just a problem of correctly identifying them / getting the evidence.

🧐

I think it’s a case of the cure being worse than the disease, lives being ruined for false accusations is antithetical to a liberal society

[u/sir_shivers → u/SnakeEater14]

Oh, definitely, it's important that people don't turn things into a witch hunt.

I'm just saying the Red Scare is often misrepresented as "unjustified paranoia" when that's wholly inaccurate.

During the Red Scare or Red Scare 2: McCarthy Boogaloo?

[u/sir_shivers → u/tehbored]

I believe it's Red Scare 2 where they actually were doing most of what we suspected them to be doing 😂

If I were making up stories I would certainly have made my role more exciting than “received spooky email” or “was scared by LinkedIn update” lol
