We're talking about millions of people losing their jobs and their privileged positions. How did the world and society exist without big-brother surveillance?!

- oblio 6y agoDon't misread/misrepresent what I'm saying ;-) My point is that there are many of those people I mention, they're rich, smart and quite powerful. Many of them are on this exact site, by the way. They're not going to give up what they got without a fight.
- staplers 6y agoSounds like I'm interpreting it perfectly. You are implying surveillance capitalism is necessary because "certain people" can threaten, harass, maybe kill citizens into participating because it makes "certain people" rich. My sarcasm implies it's unnecessary. Further it is a net-negative to society and everyone knows it. Look at tobacco, oil, or coal.. eventually they lose their grip. Get real.
- oblio 6y agoI'm not saying its necessary or otherwise. I'm saying that it's here and getting rid of it will not be easy. Another example you might be familiar with if you're American, the US healthcare system, especially the private insurance system. How is getting rid of it going? :-)
