@bob_way 1/ First and probably most important, I want to express my appreciation.
Talking about #anonymity and #privacy appears to be becoming increasingly frowned upon. Seeing your open and refreshing ideas on the subject definitely helped me open my eyes even further.

As you have already indicated, we must first educate people on the distinction between #anonymity and #privacy.
Most individuals do not fully comprehend #cash and the challenges surrounding its "disposal".

As you pointed out, we do not have #anonymity when purchasing a beer in a bar, but because the cashier will only print a receipt and will not send any personal informations about my nightly activities back to the government or any other company,

Take 15 mins. Watch this video. It's more important to you than you know.
This is what China is doing, but Western governments are on exactly the same path #technologically; they just have a different set of #rationalisations.
The #DatabaseState isn't coming. It's already here.

It doesn't matter if your Government's #justification is #innovation ("AI is cool!"), #PublicSafety ("Think of the kids!"), or #efficiency ("People are expensive, let's use algorithms instead") - installing the #tools of #totalitarianism only ends up in one place.

Not content with reforms that could see UK journalists jailed for 14 years for printing stories embarrassing the Govt, Priti Patel now wants to silence Police Chiefs from speaking out on issues deemed 'politically sensitive'.
This is dangerous antidemocratic #authoritarianism.🇬🇧

Parts of the plan have been labelled “profoundly dangerous” & “power grab threatening operational independence” by one chief constable. Police & crime commissioners described some of the Govt proposals as going beyond the home secretary’s legal authority.

Don't forget that the UK Govt is removing the independence of the Electoral Commission, which is responsible for overseeing free & fair elections: any other country doing what OUR Govt is doing IN PLAIN SIGHT, would correctly be accused of corrupt antidemocratic #totalitarianism.
Russia has become a totalitarian society. Public opinion does not matter. It's all about complacency.
I teach a course on Totalitarianism at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Here are some reading recommendations from my syllabus.
Victor Klemperer, I Will Bear Witness 1933-1941: A Diary of the Nazi Years. The entries from 1933 are especially powerful.
"Every new government decree, announcement, etc. is more shameful than the previous one..."

@FD_Nieuws @COCNederland @MinBZ "We leven in een nieuwe werkelijkheid. Rusland is Oekraïne binnengevallen, zonder aanleiding en met nog minder respect voor mensenlevens. Geen regeringsleider zag dit aankomen. Nu slaan we ons voor de kop. We hebben zitten slapen, dachten dat we geen krijgsmacht nodig hadden."

🇷🇺#Russia is not waging war on Ukraine, but on #Atlanticism - The evolution of the conflict in Ukraine is very significant - two worlds oppose each other: the world of sovereign countries, carried by Russia, & that of #globalization, crushed by Atlanticism.

If the weapons rumble on the Ukrainian territory, the conflict is indeed global, because the existence & the disappearance of one of these two worlds is at stake. By launching the military operation in Ukraine, Russia is not attacking Ukraine or Ukrainians. 2/13
The targets are military, it does not bomb towns or civilians, the Ukrainian soldiers are also coming in large numbers & the local authorities, for example in the Kharkov region, are now calling on the population to come to an understanding wit h Russia - the "new power". 3/13

Imagine if #Hitler, #Stalin, and #Mao had access to the kinds of information the NSA collects. Imagine if they would have had access to Facebook, Twitter, or would have had access to the technology of the modern police state.

The Govt's #Orwellian paper on 'Higher education: free speech & academic freedom' is, imho, one of the most #sinister moves toward a #totalitarian state that Britain has ever experienced, based on an almost total absence of either good sense or evidence.
assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
In section 2: "The case for change - Key aims & principles", the central claim that "There is growing concern within government of a chilling effect on university campuses", is based on pathetically flimsy evidence, taken from opaque free-market think tank, the 'Policy Exchange'.
This, one of just a handful of evidenced claims in the entire document about the so-called 'free speech crisis', is taken from a 2019 report called "Academic freedom in the UK" - which used a sample of just 505 UK university students - about 0.02% of UK students!
EVERYONE should be EXTREMELY CONCERNED about the Govt's sinister #Orwellian attacks on free speech: the CHARITY-SILENCING Lobbying Act; 'Online Harms' legislation will SILENCE FREE SPEECH on social media (regulated by Dacre!); & legislation REGULATING FREE SPEECH in Universities.
Orwell’s name is associated with #totalitarianism & the #manipulation of language.
In #doublespeak, words are used to mask their real meaning, & to refer to their exact opposites: the Govt claims of an 'attack on free speech' conceals THEIR OWN repeated attacks on free speech.

Newspeak involves the simplification & purification of the English language to the extent that it functions purely as a means of maintaining state power & control.

1. Yesterday in Antrim county, Judge Elsenheimer largely overruled SoS Benson objections to discovery and ordered her and her office to produce large amounts of information regarding the 2020 elections.
2. Michigan's state-run media ignored this part of the hearing, but instead declared victory for Dana Nessel. Having now reached out to several reporters, I have learned that the document production issue was not deemed news-worthy (i.e. must be hidden from public view).
3. #totalitarianism "a form of gov't that prohibits and restricts opposition and exercises a high degree of control over public/private life. Political power is held by autocrats who employ all-encompassing campaigns in which propaganda is broadcast by state-controlled media."
Spoke to @Guardian podcast about growing up in post-War #France... that is post-#Algerian War of Independence, still v. much in living memory. The War’s legacy is perceived in all kinds of aspects of modern life, still blighted by the #colonial experience.
A point that is easily overlooked by foreign observers is that the 2nd most influential party in #France now was founded by far-right nationalists who wanted to keep #Algeria French. #LePen's FN -now called the Rassemblement National -is openly racist, islamophobic & antiSemitic.
In his '#Separatism' speech @EmmanuelMacron was sugar-coating #reactionary policies based on the premise that 5-6M French #Muslims can’t be trusted to manage their own affairs & required surveillance at all times.The emphasis was that Islam is a chronic #problem around the world

When @Sal_Robins first started talking to us about all the gender nuts we (her family & friends) took little notice. It all sounded pretty far fetched & beyond ‘our world’ to be honest. After she told me she got suspended from Twitter & shower me what she got suspended for I 1/

“...people usually gain power through traits and actions that advance interests of others such as #empathy, #collaboration, openness, #fairness...when they start to feel powerful or enjoy position of privilege, those qualities begin to fade....(1)
...The powerful are more likely than other people to engage in rude, selfish and unethical behaviour” #RebeccaSolnit citing #DacherKeltner on his work studying relationship between empathy and power
“If power generates a cushion of obliviousness around it, those of us with power need to counter it. That means, first, treating people with respect, regardless of their status: not taking the invitation to disdain or ignore” #Solnit
