This hostility towards privacy all over the world signals that there is a co-ordinated change happening in the world.

Unfortunately we still don't know what it is or what its goals are.

Specifically, we don't know the goals. Generally, we know it's about control and fear of losing power.

It's a stolen quote but rings true:

Those with power fear one thing above all else; losing said power.

As another aspect we're seeing governments and the system elites craving for more power and control than ever.

I know it's borderline conspiracy theorist but I fear that the COVID-19 lockdowns with the surveillance systems and control gained during them gave the elites worldwide a taste for new levels of power and control.

All in the name of doing it for our own good of course. But ultimately its for more power. What terrors man won't inflict on others for "their own good".

Authoritarianism is doing well all over; it doesn't have to be deliberately coordinated, so much as people being basically the same everywhere, and the world sharing some serious problems. What works in one country works in almost any other.

On the one hand this its true that monkey see means monkey can do.. On the other, all the nationalists started meeting up with each other internationally and in public because hypocritical cynicism is apparently so hot now that you can be a xenophobe who worships foreigners as long as they are more impressive xenophobes.

Personally I’ve grown hostile to the concept of anonymous speech but I readily admit that I can’t imagine a way to deanonymize without also losing privacy as most people describe it.

Anonymous posters like what looks like a troll bot that the GrapheneOS account is arguing with have flooded the zone with so much noise its fracturing society imo
