No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I just though about Steve Huffman's comment editing shenanigan, and started wondering...

I mean...

Your devices might have backdoors, and even if not, there might be zero day exploits just waiting to be found, or perhaps the government already have them.

The US government could just...

Create a "Antifa PDF", filled with instructions on how to commit terrorism, and all of its contents which are written by the CIA, and the contents are made to be worded to be as violent as possible, then infect every registered Democrat (whose phone numbers are in the voter registration btw) with Pegasus, then inject that PDF into the files.

Then just call tell the FBI to go arrest them. They arrest the people and just "finds" those PDF document. Now they have "proof" of terrorist activities.

And they might even use Pegasus to just fabricate entire phone conversations.

Like, they can:

Create a fake conversation between Democrat A anf Democrat B and fabricate a convincing exchange about them "plotting a terrorist act", use the most violent words possible. Voila, more of those "evidence".

They could just arrest Democrats en masse in swing states.

I mean at this point, they probably could justify Martial Law and there would be zero objections from the military because this would all just "seems legit".

Like, you wanna criticize trump? Boom, random "terrorist looking" PDF document is in your files (done by the CIA).

Like...

Have anyone though about this?

Am I just being over paranoid? Perhaps I watch too much movies...

The concept of framing someone implies that there is an honest court to fool into convicting an innocent person.

The government already controls the courts, why make it complicated?

Because they also want to win the "court of public opinion"

Edit: Like just imagine they come up with something worse than "Terrorisr Plot". They could've just put CSAM in Luigi Mangione's phone/computer and then be like "Ooh this guy is a pedophile", and fox news are gonna go wild with it.
