The current regime decided lawlessness was beneficial to them. Cuts both ways. I suppose people should consider carefully whether signing bonuses and the chance to abuse marginalised people with impunity is worth it. I'm fine with people making it riskier to throw in with corrupt authoritarians for personal benefit.
I don't know if every state is like this, but in my state, all state employee salaries are public information that anyone can look up. Why should federal employees have their information hidden? They're supposed to work for us.

This calls for the world’s tiniest violin.
If those employees didn't do anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about.
I'm sure this line works well with doxx'ing victims.
Public servants? It’s the line the government uses to justify dragnet mass surveillance.
No harm in knowing who is working for you.
> It’s the line the government uses to justify dragnet mass surveillance.
Agreed. But I don't see how that justifies your original comment.
The original comment is clearly an expression of schadenfreude.
Do those doxxed victims have significant power over an average person?
With great power comes greater responsibilities
Yeah Spiderman is such an influence over real life.
The whole epitome of this thread is that my enemies got doxx'd and so now I shall jump through dozens of logical hoops in order to justify it.
Oh, also, if you're not happy with this, you obviously must agree with everything they are doing.

That's the line I responded to, in case you didn't read it.
