Since Klaus/WEF has a socially and fiscally left-leaning view of things, a useful way to respond to their support of total transparency and no privacy is to be like:

"Cool, cool. Imagine you happen to be gay in Saudi Arabia, or a Uyghur in China. Just trying to live your life, doing your own thing. You have nothing to hide, right? Total transparency is good, right?”

Because the funniest thing about socialist/left authoritarian viewpoints regarding transparency, is that fascist/right authoritarian viewpoints would love that too. It's the horseshoe theory of politics in action.

And when you compare the socialist left to being fascist right, or the fascist right to being socialist left, it’s just funny to see their responses.

I never understood why nazis are considered extreme right, to me they are as extreme left as any commies. All collectivists are.

Yes. It is a successful cope

Right is anarchy, left is total government.. Most of the world is extreme left. Only the original Constitution we moderate right.

They were both and probably not sustainable. After world war 1, Germany was suppressed and constantly drained of money/goods by the winners of the war. People were starving. The communists who slaughtered millions of people in Russia and Ukraine were quickly gaining momentum. Many Germans were not forced into collectivism by the government but joined to fight their way out of the situation successfully. Hierarchies were accepted and success mattered in this goal oriented collective society. When you look at communist societies, people are depressed. Perceived effort matters. Success is often punished by peers. Hierarchies exist unofficially while the citizens have to say that everything is flat. Peoples lives get worse and worse over time. The more typical real world left stuff.

I think the best way to deal with him and similar authoritarians is simply to ignore him, not to give him any reactions to his pure provocations. I don't care what he thinks about anything really.

Why do you need examples of other minorities in other countries that you probably don't know too much about? Isn't there enough stuff happening in your own country that could be named as examples?
