This is no surprise... I swear, I was always (well, from the point when I got interested with IT and technology) sure that We, as in society of the world, were always been invigilated by higher government agencies....
Since the very first cameras at the laptops and front cameras on phones, always, ALWAYS thought that they were not created for our luxury, but to keep an eye on computer and mobile device users. Whenever I was saying that to people, they didn't listen, nor they were interested, usually saying "Well, they dont keep an eye on us all, just looking for 'terrorists'."
Well who are terrorists? EVERYBODY who takes a chance to stand against oh so great United States of America in any major matter.
Well, there we are people, not that much has been publicly released about NSA's invigilation, Im sure that majority of what he was or he did release never seen 'official' light.
Not many people seem to give a damn thing about this, that's what makes me angry, really.
Shows how much of slaves we already are to the government agencies.
In my honest opinion it is too late to fight against it as a whole society of human race around the globe, but we can fight as minor group of people who actually care about our privacy and safety.
I swear this is just beginning, and whatever Hitler tried unofficially accomplish, USA is doing with much more subtle way, perhaps without mass killing and ethnic cleaning, but exactly the same as Gestapo were doing;
It is just covered by thick layers of technology which nowadays RULES our lives.
I don't think any major country around the world is safe, neither are the minor countries, which are ruled by the major ones.
And to think that USA has basically army bases all over the globe.
We aren't actual allies- we are the AXIS of the other countries that we call our enemies (mostly).
We are not seeking the peace, we are declaring wars to seek peace the way we WANT.
Why do I say we? Because we, as a society of the world, THE MAJORITY of people, dont give a tiny shit about what is happening. And why should we? Its much better to go and buy new Ferrari (with GPS built in ofc), go eat chicken wings at McDonalds (processed meat), buy luxury clothes (made by slaved children of 3rd world countries) and drink some Coke (which is cheaper than actual mineral water)...
We love to be controlled, given narrow perspectives, to buy dreams (which aint ours really, we just think they are), being stuffed with bullshit trash food, stuffed with ridiculous education system which makes more confusion than actual help, being ruled by laws and legislation which at points of time seem to order ridiculously (someone murders someone or rapes someone, goes to jail for 5 years, someone steals something from store, goes to jail for 3 years...)
...But HEY!
We are Free! So many perspectives, places to see and things to learn!
Come on people, let's wake up with a wide smile on our faces tomorrow, because it is a next day in a LIBERAL WORLD!
