Hyperbole requires intent and exaggeration, can you point out either? I'm not seeing it.
It's also 100% on topic. You not liking the discussion doesn't change that.

The comparison is a little unfair to the stasi, they did not have modern computers. .
But only US could place a microphone in every household and make people pay for it. Stasi wouldn't think of this.
If you are convinced it's incomparable, present some metric we can measure where US sysyem looses.
Stating comparisons isn't hyperbole just because you don't like the comparison. Neither is it a conspiracy theory. Five eyes shitfuckery is extremely well documented.
