    It’s almost like our institutions and political class across the developed world are acting on behalf of capital and not in the peoples best interests…

    Maybe that’s why they all collude with surveillance capitalism to violate our civil rights wholesale, and expand the surveillance state…

    These are not the actions of a government “for the people”. These are the actions of criminally corrupt tyrants and traitors who should spend the rest of their lives in prison. The fact that they won’t should tell you everything you need to know about our “democracies”.

      How does this help the capital? Those big tech companies have the data already and mine it for ad profiling and teaching AI. I’m not saying it isn’t, I would only like to hear your thoughts.

      They had this surveillance, on a far greater scale, in communist countries like East Germany so it isn’t just about capitalism.
