privacy is sovereignty over one's personal data

it's a bit like money in that trusted third parties can abuse you, and there is whole systems of funnels and conspiracy to herd people into trust vulnerability specifically to abuse them, whether it's spooks or advertisers

the modern statutes of governments are actually fraud anyway (they are statutes, and you have to be an agent of the issuer of statutes to be bound by them) it wasn't even that long ago that you didn't need a passport or ID, they just slowly normalised that with driver's licenses and student IDs and such like, corporate fascist fraud that by accepting these registrations you are then effectively an unpaid agent of the state, which is not what they openly say to you but that's what they impute by the way they drag you into courts over offenses against their rules, when it used to be you would only be in a court in a case where some other person was claiming you harmed them

they make their rules so byzantine it's almost impossible to really fight back and by their rules you admit to being subject to their laws and then they have you

this is why i stay the fuck away from large populations full of people who have been duped by this scam and even help the racket continue with their stupidity and snitching
