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.

Its not downplaying the problem it’s offering a philoshopical solution to the anguish.
Op will destroy himself before he destroys the system. So he shouldn’t expect to destroy the system. Take a step back and realize what you can change and what you can’t.
When I got interested in privacy it was genuinely overwhelming it felt like I had to upend my entire life which seemed impossible. So I stepped back and thought about what I could change. I started making small changes here and then doing only what I was comfortable with. After a year I’m almost off Google services and I’ve migrated off all big tech platforms except discord. I’m securing my home network and reeling in my email and cc usage online.
The world seems scary but I can feel myself getting away from the things I don’t like. I can sleep knowing I’m doing what I can.
