RE: Are we living in an Orwellian future?

in #privacy7 years ago

Interesting how there wasn't all of this gun violence when I was growing up and guns were easier to get. We shot them as kids, and not long before my time schools even had gun clubs. Guessing all of this liberal progress has made a few people unbalanced, as well as the culture wars taking place since the floodgates were opened in 1965.

I suspect that every action done online is monitored, and has been for some time. It is clear they wish us to have no privacy, even in our own homes. What is scary is how many think nothing of letting them openly spy, with such things as Amazon Echo. Of course, we already chip ourselves with our cell phones (that have microphones and cameras that can be activated remotely). I wouldn't be surprised if they have somehow chipped our debit/credit cards and debt instruments passed off as money with tiny tracking/listening devices. Cameras on every corner.

Scary times and most want to pretend it is all normal.

The culture around guna has become a bit scary! I think education is best - but it now seems like there needs to be much stricter regulations aswell.

Everything we do online is either monitored or can be traced somehow these days - scary thought - its like theres someone always in your house snooping.

I disagree with the restrictions. The constitution was very clear, and those who are not insane should never be stripped of their rights to self defense because others abuse the right. Regulations always hit those who are no threat. If someone is of a mind to go kill random groups of people, no restriction law will ever be a deterrent to that mind frame.

Yeah, the snooping really bothers me. My hope is one day my meager investment in crypto will moon enough so I can buy some property away from the cities and put most of the technology away and live with nature and rediscover what it means to be a man in nature.
