How can you be free if you are under continual surveillance your ever action judged in real time on mass, your ever past action judged based on the current feelings of the day, your every comment, word spoken, person you interacted with, etc judged and recriminated on a on going basis.
Every movement monitored, every interaction recorded.
Are you free in such a society? I say no....
- Bromskloss 8y agoI take "free" to mean that no one else decides what I should do.
- syshum 8y agoSo if a mugger has a gun to your head and say "Your money or your life" do you have freedom because you have a choice to choose??? No one is deciding if you should choose to give up your money That may be hyperbolic but it is the logical conclusion to your statement. This same argument is used by people to justify their mob mentality when going after people for wrong think and target their employment, and business relationships while claiming to support free speech believing that free speech is only violated if government is censoring I reject this idea that freedom is only limited by governments
