"What're you hiding if you're 'innocent'?"

Smh smh smh... "Innocent is a concept, and frankly it's none of your business." Miss those days.

    I always heard this "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" attitude/saying attributed to goebbels and went to go find the source.

    I fell down the research well and found it's actually from an author I've read but evidently not enough of his work: Upton Sinclair.

    The source is The Profits of Religion and "Sinclair attacks institutionalized religion as a 'source of income to parasites, and the natural ally of every form of oppression and exploitation.'"

    Seems sadly relevant to today.

    Why do you want to scrutinize my personal life's details if I'm innocent?

    Innocent until proven guilty should still be a thing.

    It is a thing. At least in the US, it's even codified. People constantly pretending it's not a thing and not reprimanding or punishing those who abuse it is turning it into not a thing unfortunately. Shits gotten so bad our head of DoJ and the turdlord president himself declare people "guilty" without punishment, trial, or evidence. It's shocking to me honestly, this shit would've been treason when I was a kid. McCarthyism all over again.
