The thing is, your husband is right. There is a database (a few of them actually) and huge processors that monitor electronic communication worldwide and flag keywords and phrases.
If you're really worried about it, there used to be a site with the list. But it's old, and I'm sure it has grown. I searched a little for it but didn't find it. Just a bunch of deleted reddit comments.
I would say, you're not alone. And it's just algorithm at first. Specific words and phrases, then context. Then more context. Then eventually it might have real human eyes on it. Then, if they really hate you, or see you enough times, or they are actually doing their jobs and feel like digging deeper, you'll likely be put on a list.
But think about the sheer volume of content being put out everywhere. You definitely aren't alone. But until you start forming groups of a bunch of you on similar lists, you're probably cool.
It's revolution that scares government and there's too many of us for them to effectively watch us all. To loosely quote Mos Def "they want us to think they're God or something. Got the all seeing eye. Can't nobody do that."
All decisions we make come from either fear or love and possibly both sometimes. So make your decision knowing whether it's from a place of fear or love. You might change you mind occasionally. And, more importantly: love wins in the end.
We are only guaranteed one life. I for one choose not to live in fear. But you have to be clever about what you say if you intend to rock the boat.
I sold drugs for a long time. And my constant pot smoking made me paranoid as hell. So guess what we did? We used code words. So do all professional criminals, including police and other Bureaucrats and wall Street hustlers and terrorists, drug dealers, pedophiles... Etc
The watchers have their hands too full to worry about small potatoes.
Anyway, I'm stoned in a very illegal state and rambling.... And shit. A little paranoid now.
Just kidding 😂😂😂
The watchers
If you want to be paranoid go to steemit search and type in "snowpea gangstalking" to find my story. I lived in fear for a year as I deleted all social media. They do go after small potatoes unless I'm a big one and don't even know it. Now I just say and do what I want online and it drives my husband crazy because he thinks it will get bad again. But they never really went away completely.
Very insightful what you say about love. I agree. :)
The watched
Oh jeez... Yeah it looks like you caught someone's attention and pissed them off.
Writing bots to scrape any open sites is not that difficult. It is how search engines build their data bases. The same process is easy to turn into a dragnet. It is happening. So unless we plan to not use the internet I think it is more important to just be aware it can happen and decide what you are willing to say, and how brave and willing you are to try to spread the truth even if their is potentially personal risk to yourself.
Fear or love decide our actions
It's a lot more complicated than that. ;) Though they do decide SOME of our actions, and they are ONE factor in many more. Generalizations generally are false, because we are all individuals. The only minority that truly matters is the individual.
Thanks for the inspiration... and no you don't get all the credit... you just helped my thoughts go towards this. :)
