Sorry, but the cases are too different. The secrets of the government serve a completely different purpose than those of the citizens.
Is that justification for spying on civilians?
I never say that. Thats a straw man-argument.
Or so you are told by people unwilling to be under strict oversight from independent authorities.
“I do this for good reasons, trust me” is not a valid argument.
Yes. The problem is, when one country has had a intelligence agency and the other has not, the one with the agency has a advantage. At least, under the same conditions.
I see the tension between a republican (res publica, “thing of the public”) State and the existence of such secrets. The question is if a state without this could exist under the current circumstances. There are a lot room for doubts here, I fear.
The government is an illegitimate state. We live in a dictatorship on stolen indigenous ground. Fuck Charles and fuck the government.
Not all of us lived in America.
Do you think I live in America when I say we live in a dictatorship and fuck Charles?
