-isms of all kind are powerful. But the most powerful are those that give the believer a distant group of people for them to blame for all their troubles, which are often self-inflicted.
> False accusations of racism (and similar moral slander) is the first step in dehumanizing an outgroup.
Accurately describing the racism that motivates the politics and actions of a group is the first step in addressing the way they dehumanize their opponents.
We must be reading different charts — the only one I can see has consistent numbers among Republicans (50%) but high numbers for Democrats (90%) except for Whites (20%).
So your characterization is completely wrong: Republicans mildly think everybody does, while Democrats deny white people do.
We must be on different planets since America and its institutions are majority white.
> 94% of Democrats say Black people face at least some discrimination, compared with 54% of Republicans.
90% of Democrats say the same about Hispanic people, compared with 54% of Republicans.
83% of Democrats say Asian people face widespread discrimination, versus 51% of Republicans.
By contrast, Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to say that White people face at least some discrimination (55% vs. 21%).
It's routinely written and recounted that for most wars in history more people died from disease than combat. But we still count them all as war deaths.
The remedy is disallowing evidence collected. This is the same for almost every case in which law enforcement searches without proper cause or a warrant.
And I don't know what that would be surprising. Where monetary damages are due they are because statute establishes them, or you can show some specific and direct financial harm (thus money damage is the remedy).
Doesn't stop further action based on your private data and retribution for evidence of anti-American speech or potentially-criminal travel patterns. In terms of government surveillance, evidence doesn't need to be submitted to court. It can be provided to a government surveillance contractor like Palantir or Flock for national security purposes.
The current Exectutive Branch has a history of keyword-search driven action, without a chain-of-command of proper review before action.
At least one American citizen has successfully been un-deported based on bad information resulting in deportation action. DHS has a Predictive Policing division willing to conduct unconstitutional, warantless parellel construction.
Warrantless surveillance is well established, and anti-American evidence may exist on your device depending on the reasonable suspicion provided by other Palantir-esque analysis of your online activity and your level of support of the ruling power. The law enforcement agent you encounter won't receive that context, just that the system they usually use flagged you as suspicious without your knowledge (depending on the jurisdiction you're in).
To your point, it only needs to be justified in court if you take legal action. Per Egbert v. Boule (2022), no remedy for American citizens seeking damages for unjustified violations of the First Amendment or Fourth Amendment when it comes to immigration enforcement-related action exists unless explicitly defined by Congress (which it has not, yet).
Edit:
> “People in the government violated my privacy by reading my private information”, on its own, is not a harm the court can fix.
Basically, the average American should treat Border Patrol agents like they're the Gestapo going after their private, Constitutionally protected information with no legal recourse for that potential violation of Constitutionally-protected right to privacy.
If you're rich you can fight it, but the SCOTUS will likely determine Border Agent overreach is something that just happens until Congress establishes a penalty.
Yubikeys generally have much worse recovery scenarios than passkeys do, for consumers. In enterprise if you lose your yubikey, an IT admin can help you get back into your account. If you lose a security key as a consumer, you're generally in a much tougher account recovery situation.
Yep. The flow has to balance out somehow. If the US buys more then it sells (all in, including services, which trump ignores for no clear reason) the sellers have to end up owning USD denominated assets.
