> After all, who needs anything but four cold, bare walls, a toilet, and a bed to sleep on. You will be happy here, where "we" will decide what you need and what you don't. "We" will feed, clothe, and house you. "We" will provide you with everything "we" feel that you need It's kind of a bad joke, this idea that these encroachments on the freedom on the internet are going hand-in-hand with 'free stuff from the government' because in most cases in the anglosphere it seems like, with the notable exception of furlough schemes brought in for the pandemic, we're generally seeing the opposite trend: social protections being torn up and we're told to be happy about this. Our avenues for complaining about it are slowly being captured primarily by large, ultimately unsympathetic corporations who would rather we as individuals be as insecure as possible so as to be maximally dependent on them and their peers for a wage.
