    Surveillance is only bad when capitalist countries do it; change my mind.

    I trust countries like Vietnam, China, Laos, etc. much more than I do a capitalist country when it comes to privacy and surveillance.

      What matters to us isn’t really whether it is good or bad. What matter has always been one question: Which side are you on (in this case, which side is it on)? This goes for cops, military, media as well. For anarchists, they might say stuff about the people’s stick or how power corrupts.

        Power doesn’t corrupt; we need power more than ever now.
