> We live under a global survelliance network

But we don't, right? Neither every word nor every move you make is recorded. Not to mention not globally shared, of all things.

Uhh.. London has a CCTV network that doesn't prevent theft.

My parking lots used to be tech-free and all now have poles with cameras and government signs on them.

Face camera tech in all retail outlets. Every second or third home is plastered in cameras, some beaming their data back to some US corp.

Phone tracks everything you do, to hundreds of app providers, who then sell it on to data aggregators.

Refuse covid vax? No access to public services.

My IT friends have admitted the whole point since the 80s was the spying.

Watergate and Cyberdyne (nixon) started the end of secret keeping.

It is no different to Oceangate and Teledyne (sub imploding) starting the end of physical freedom.

Snowden, Assange, basic facts about GCHQ and google offshoring domestic data in the UK so they can classify it as 'foreign spying' and legally dissect it all, when they re-import it.

Deanonymizing online activity is statisically trivial.

All the 9/11 stuff destroying liberty and adding excessive security at airport gates and body scanners that were never needed before. ect.

Euthanisia has been legalized.

Some of us, do in fact, pay attention.

Writing's on the (digital) wall. Every man will be a 'slave' to tech run by harvard-types, by the end of the 2030s.

While we're "working from home", the gov and tech companies destroyed the physical infrastructure that allowed freedom and replaced it with tyranny.

People are fleeing cities to live in the countryside. I. Wonder. Why.

Here I am remembering and telling the truth. As if that mattered.

I'm watching this in real time without the means to change my living circumnstances, and it's a big old brain melter.

I'm supposedly responsible for my actions as a person, yet the gov and tech companies, really are indicating it doesn't think I should be allowed to exercise free will.

Every word sent across the Internet is; every move accompanied by a mobile is; every move in an automobile with a tag is; every purchase made with a credit or debit card is.
that's a pretty low bar
