At this point I’m all in for the collapse of modern society just for the fact that governments around the world are ruining it. Like, is the convenience of technology really that worth it when it’s constantly being used against us?
At the end of the day, I’d rather read a newspaper than risk getting my identity stolen because I had to provide an ID to read an article about the war in Ukraine. And I’d rather write a letter or use a landline than risk my private messages getting leaked all over the internet because the government wanted a centralized database of all our messages.
Every phone call in the United States, and most likely elsewhere, is recorded by NSA surveillance systems, transcribed, and kept indefinitely by the NSA. Did you forget what Snowden showed? And this was back in the mid 2010s.
Maybe Trump trampling all over everyone changed something, but to state „Something the NSA is doing is ONLY happening in the US, and surely no EU agency is doing the same or helping the NSA“ is a bit naive.
Germany hosts the biggest network node in Europe with DECIX and the German equivalent of the NSA is known and authorized by courts to monitor all traffic there
You think it’s any different in Europe? The NSA is snooping all the calls in the US, and they’re also snooping all the calls in the EU. And the EU country intelligence agencies are doubtlessly doing the same. I only use the NSA example because it’s one we have good evidence for.

Bro extrapolating from my comment 💀

Bro said EU as bad as US 💀
How’s that militant nationalism treating you?
Bro thinks I am a politics person and not just doing a bit for fun 💀
Shall I recommend a movie called Captive State
Who’s gonna print your newspaper when all society has broken down?
But yeah, fuck this authoritarian bullshit.
I remember about a year ago people panned “accelerationists” myself included. Now I’m not so sure they don’t have a good idea….
