    The authoritarian government wants unfettered surveillance? Who could have seen this coming?

      It’s not one government. That it seems naturally emerging, or connected to particular administration in the USA, or something like that, - these are all not important. Only what really happens, which has been constant over many years with all US administrations, UK governments, EU countries’ political situations.

      It’s a very slow and gradual transition, because, well, faster transitions lead to more resistance. It happens all over the “western” world. It happens simultaneously with development of mass-scale autonomous weapons. Both are made more dangerous by having intelligence on any possible adversary on the whole planet. It happens in preparation for WWIII which the “western” world will start. Yes, I’m crazy, discard this all you want.

    We need to sanction these fuckers. If you own a business, stop doing business with them. Don’t conduct any kind of transaction with them. Refuse service, tell them to leave your establishment, etc. Stop dating these losers, hanging out with them, etc. If you have one as your neighbor, give them the cold shoulder. These people live among us. Find out who they are and isolate them as much as possible. Don’t invite their kids to birthday parties, kick their kids out of sports leagues, etc. Be calm, polite and firm.

    No advantage to using social media tied to your name or identity.

    Be a hermit crab. Start new accounts periodically. Be certain they are not tied to your meat space persona.
