I am fucking scared of the mass surveilence nightmare direction that the internet and the world as a whole is going towards… C2PA, france hacking itself into citizen phones, the UK anti encryption law, EU’s chat control, etc. Im also sick of and hate the “you will own nothing and be happy” mentality that corpos try to push. I dont wanna know how the world will look like in 5-10 years.

If you want to live a more peaceful and calm life, that’s totally okay. But it is probably better that YOU looked into a new place to live (a house by the beach or the woods perhaps?) rather than expecting society to adapt to your needs.

So if you’ve been robbed three times, why don’t you look into a new place to live instead of expecting society to adapt to your needs?

This feels like a pretty ignorant response. It’s not easy to move and it’s a reasonable request to get robbed fewer than 3 times a year.

Unless I’m misunderstanding, maybe?

Nah I’m just highlighting the contradiction in them saying “we need mass surveillance because of crime” and in their very next breath “if you don’t feel safe you should just move instead of expecting society to change for you.”

OP doesn’t feel safe specifically in regards to privacy, which of course, is getting harder and harder to get in populated areas of 1st world countries.

And i just didin’t want to say “get used to it” because it’s apparently something that OP feels really concerned about.

I think a lot of people would want to move to more isolated, rural areas to gain back their privacy, and i think that’s an issue that’s gonna get more and more talked about in the next generations.

I do have the option of living in a more calm and pretty much crime-free place with my grandparents.

But i don’t want to get distanced with the rest of my family & friends, besides, i like living in a city, having things to do, walking in busy streets, i dunno, it’s just what i like. :)
