Cash requires you show up in person to do crime.
Privacy and security are in conflict. I think privacy of thought and privacy of association are important (so social media and messaging) but privacy on where you spend your money leans a bit too far into the privacy side of things.
I admit crime can be a good thing. Piracy for example. But if you’re doing crime for money rather than just for the love of the craft, that’s where I draw the line.
Honestly what I do with my money is none of anyone else’s business.
There was a time when this was the norm. What have happened is that its gone so far that people feel it’s not a big deal and are happy to have their data har harvested without a thought. It is however fucking extreme to hear for someone just a few decades ago.
Go argue the privacy is bad to someone getting hormones or abortion pills. Or just shopping a book online and having Facebook match you, and your friends, up with your psychiatrist and sell all your data to highest bidder. Or get deported to an Ecuadorian prison.
Feeling you are safe when your data and habits are with the government and corporations are a privilege. A fake notion as well, haven’t considered the fact that any data collected are available for sale or theft?
imagine the Nazis having all the information that exist on you , not even need to beat it out of you. Would be a lot different world then.
I do crime for a lot of things, money included, it pays for some mutual aid here among other things. If I could get away with it I wouldn’t think twice of breaking the law for many reasons in many scenarios. Fuck I admire the guys that broke in to the airbase in the UK and fucked up planes that is legally used to commit genocide.
Legality is not a base for morality.
I was gonna respond, but after realizing you’re going out of your way to be unnuanced about this I had second thoughts. I looked into your profile and of course you’re pro-Russia.
Another one for the blocked list.
Thank you
