The global panopticon is already built.
There’s no way to unring that bell.
It will only get better and more sophisticated.
The left wants a politburo.
The right wants a Ceaser.
They both want to get their hands around this unholy thing and use it to destroy their rivals.
No matter who wins, we are going to live through some seriously bad shit.
But hey at least we have magic internet money lol
I love Snowden and believe he exposed the surveillance state with all good intentions, but sometimes I wonder if the government allowed him to expose themselves so that we would truly live in a panopticon.
Regardless, magic internet money may not save the world, but it can save us who know what it is.
And we have the best memes!
Amen brother 
Damn, that is dark.
Sometimes I wish I was more deluded.
Seeing reality in the cold light of day is often discouraging.
Stack ammo
We have other plans down here in Texas.
You know the saying... Hard times create tough men💪
Zapped lol
Lazy analysis. The threat is solely on the left side of the political spectrum.
Not the right.
Stop letting yourself get brainwashed by this thesis.
I agree that right now it is, but what happens when the right organizes and takes retributive action?
Nothing good.
The right also suffers from the most dangerous religion: Statism
They love their politicians as much or more and want to hand them any powers requested
Reagan did the GCA 1968. Like a Leftist.
The way I see it fascism, theocracy, socialism(including national socialism) and communism all are collectivist movements where the individual must work for the ”common good”, and being that, they’re all leftist movements. Just variants of the same theme.
I know that this can seem to be only semantics but I really don’t buy the notion that fascism is a right wing thing.
(When I’m writing this I got to think about Trump, labeled a ”fascist” and a ”threat to OUR democracy”…If he were a ”fascist”, then he’s worst fascist of all time just due to the fact, that he embraces strong states at the expense of federal powers. A true fascist would have done exactly the opposite, more like Biden is doing now, but I digress)
This is largely why I try to avoid using vaguely defined terms like "left" and "right" when discussing politics. Those who refer to themselves as on the right while supporting an authoritarian, collectivist government have nothing to do with the conservative ideals of limited government and personal rights.
Fair enough
