    This should be pretty chilling, but it feels like par for the course.

    Assume everything is tapped and monitored, no exceptions. Not even airgapping will save you.

      Be cautious, but don’t be paranoid. Do not underestimate the enemy, but also do not buy into the propaganda of the all-powerful oligarchs where any resistance is futile. Do not be naïve, but also: Do. Not. Give. Up. Hope. Trumpism is failing, as is the surveillance-powered neo-feudal fantasy that the fascists behind it are pushing for. While the most dangerous days are likely still ahead of us, defeatist rhetoric is not going to get us past them. Resistance is both possible and worth it.

        Neo liberalism needs to fall for this to end. Trumpism is the natural reaction to Neo liberalism when the propagandised can only see a move rightwards as escape. Trumpism, or its like, is what Neo liberalism systemically herds a democratically significant protion of society into with the explicit purpose of delivering permanent power to plutocrats.

        The purpose of a system is what it does.
