    People are stuck in web 1.0 and web 2.0 thought patterns when it comes to privacy.

      You’re not kidding, that’s for sure.

      My wife watched a video about ICE surveillance last night and she couldn’t believe they are building databases or protestors or holding airport photos of immigrants for 75 years. Normies do not understand just how bad it is, they think pointing out all this stuff is crazy conspiracy theory.

      100% of the data is out there for every single action we do now. Everything we say (smartphones, ‘smart’ devices), Where we are driving, when we are driving, when we are out and about, who we are with, who we exchange messages with, how much money we make, what we spend it on, everything we comment on the internet, all of our browser history, every message we exchange on nearly all platforms… everything is for sale. 1984 is technically feasible, today. We’re so close it’s terrifying.

        holding airport photos of immigrants for 75 year

        that one is new to me (i have had The Shit to sort through and missed a couple things) but i absolutely do not doubt it.

        i used to help a support group and one of my favorite dudes was an absolute conspiracy geek. he loved them a little too much. i mean i love a bigfoot story as much as the next dude, and the one after them and then the next too as the trio curls up with bigfoot in a nice warm consensual snuggle pit with coffee and silly hats what were we talking about? right it’s kind of weird having the guy who lost it over Jade Helm seem… right? about most things. i mean we were all a little off our nut (and i still am) but he needed the most help and validation. wish he were still here so i could get his thoughts.

        I started talking to a friend about this and he called me a tin foil hat wearing conspiracist and said even if it’s true him and his company is making money off of it so he doesn’t care.
