You can say that again.
They forced people to show a vax card and most of the people were happy to do it. Each step gets easier for them.
We know, Marty. But what can we do about it? I have seen no solution or suggestions and can’t think of any besides the obvious financial support of their legal defense. People just don’t care - they don’t listen - they side with the government most of the time. What can we do? I am really asking - I’m feeling pretty discouraged
Ultimately you have to play the long game. Everyone who cares for privacy needs to be vocal, effective advocates to our families, friends, and neighbors. We need to teach people why it’s important. It’s not going to be easy, but it’s worth preserving.
It always was...this is a coordinated attack of a falling empire.
Which falling empire? The two biggest economies in the world are competing to see who can surveil the most. Europe is well on the way too.
It's been under attack since 9-11
Gasp 🫢
Chilling effect continues.
For the past few months, yes.
My node has performed actions the government doesn't like and will continue to do so
Problem: Privacy is under attack. Solution: crickets chirp This is NOT a criticism. I am part of the chirping crickets. I simply don't know how to #contribute to the solution and I'm utterly # scared at what we're witnessing. #1984 is starting to look mild in comparison. Maybe the fact that since the first time I read it (I was 3 years old... don't judge me!) I always felt so bad for brother Smith because I saw myself in him already...(Grandpa was a black mathematician in my racist hometown trapped in the body of a bus driver, so the man drove 2 + 2 = 4 hard into my brain from the moment I came out of my mom.) I felt and sometimes still feel that way but I had the innate feeling that somehow it still was a work of fiction... in part. The other part of me scared the shit out of everyone in 1983 when I'd launch myself at everyone telling them the world was gonna end in 1984. I was still in elementary school and my teachers were terrified at the fact that they could not convince me otherwise. I am not looking forward to my visit to the Ministry of Love...
