#Propaganda is a powerful tool that governments can use to shape public opinion and justify actions that may not be in the best interests of the people. The use of fear and security as propaganda tools for mass surveillance is a particularly concerning trend, as it can lead to the normalization of invasive #surveillance practices and the erosion of individual rights and freedoms.

Absolutely -- intrusiveness of user agreements and surveillance from smart devices for instance is why I declined to have a device like a 'smart phone' for more than a decade after they were readily available -- tracking of location and communications is THE NORM now---though folks still may be understand that ---having the state make further intrusive in-roads should be prevented to maintain liberty and autonomy for the individual.
So long as it costs a fortune to get elected, politicians will work to curry favor with the elite and never the plebs.
Surprisingly, all you have to do as a politician is keep calling the government a “democracy” and foolish plebs will still believe they have a voice. They will continue to do this even when every action of the government proves that the opposite is true.
It blows my mind how effective the misdirection is and how stupid/gullible most people are.
