Trying not to be depressed as I see the US become more and more of a warrantless surveillance regime than it already is and nobody seems to care or even notice.

I am and same in the EU with the #chatcontrol law and amendments and their desire to make end-to-end encryption illegal. It's happening in many places right now and most don't seem to care much about their privacy, state surveillance or warrantless search of their property.
I genuinely wonder what it would take to "wake people up" in a sense so they care. I guess in my experience, people don't generally care about privacy until something affects them directly related to privacy, like getting doxxed or, I don't know, getting their identity stolen or something and used by a thief.
I don't know. It took the general population almost two years to realise what was "really" going on in Nazi Germany. Most believed for a long time that the Jews were actually being deported, not gassed. By the time the population woke up they were in the middle of a world war.
I'm setting my hopes on government incompetence and disatisfied, underpaid public employees.
It's tough yeah. The only way out is through. I am convinced that change only happens with the next generation(s). They're the ones who will notice the suck, who will rally toward new paradigms, and keep learning.. all I can do is try to pass on some of my knowledge in a place where they might stumble upon it. (In life, and online).
the rest can't be saved
few.
I believe you're probably correct in that. The only way out is definitely through and by raising the next generation to be aware of these kind of things.
Im really depressed everything cost an arm and a leg. It really is depressing bro.. im hating living here and i was born and raised here.
Yeah, I'm always drooling at those Plan B passports wishing I had a half a million dollars so I can just buy my way into another country and get out of here if I felt like I needed to.
Which country is better in this regard, nostr:npub1gnwpctdec0aa00hfy4lvadftu08ccs9677mr73h9ddv2zvw8fu9smmerrq?
I know. Sometimes, I need to just take a week or two off from reading the news so I can refocus on things within my control.
