I wonder if the legislation they passed within 24 hours allowing police to read/delete/edit social media posts of anybody without warrants is related to the australian truckers blocking off major highways in the past couple of days. Australia is more and more like China every day. The rest of the world is next. We're being pushed into an authoritarian globalist society and we're okay with it.

They’re getting their tech stack in order so they can prepare for acquisition.

  https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/australia-surveillance-bill/ https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/australia-surveillance-bill/ Totally serious, although it’s hard to say if this is directly related to the trucker strike or not. They have been keeping a tight lip on that news. I didn’t believe it because I couldn’t find any news about it, but it’s pretty hard to fake road closures going entirely across New South Wales. https://ibb.co/dk1ZCFM https://ibb.co/dk1ZCFM

In the near future, Money, for purposes of personal consumption, will mean nothing because the populace will be forced by their government to consume the bare minimum to live and conserve planetary resources in an endless climate change lockdown. Democracy is dead because it distributes benefits to the people based on their merit. In the future, all benefit of industry and productivity will be rationed and distributed based on need and consideration for the environment. You will own nothing, and you will be happy. I think the western elite are in the process of committing civilizational suicide and consenting to being rolled up into Chinese hegemony because they can't do the whole one-child global climate lockdown permanent austerity depopulation agenda under a democratic government. Democracy failed because it was bad for the environment and now we are seeing our leaders commit mass suicide of their countries to save the environment. This is not a temporary emergency, this is forever and they really have to have the systems of control on super tight to manage it. Which is what we are seeing here with the current totally overboard Coronavirus pandemic measures.

And it's up to us technically literate to develop and evangelize technology that will make it impossible for the Australian, Chinese or any other government to get away with this. As Bruce Schneier says, "It's not sufficient to protect ourselves with laws. We must protect ourselves with mathematics".

  Mathematics will not protect you from people with guns. They will just outlaw your mathematics, and you will get sent for re-education. It would be nice if we could use technology to solve a political problem, but it seems unlikely.

    You can't send people you can't find to re-education camps.

      They will always find you if it matters for them to do so. If you don't matter, sure, you can continue to hide in quasi anonymity in the noise. That's only because they don't have a reason to pursue you. Authoritarian systems turn the people into the ultimate snitching devices. People learn to be careful with computing devices, it's your own trusted family or neighbor or friends that will burn you. Society gets sculpted to reinforce government policies. That happens in all authoritarian systems. You could even see it in the psycho-rabid mask people, in how batshit crazy irrational they've become. They're wildly emotional lunatics unable to comport themselves as normal humans. They can't think rationally any longer, because they've been driven into a frenzy. The propaganda terrorism scare tactics used on the US population after 9/11 had somewhat similar effects. Authoritarian systems always produce large numbers of those people, they act as an extension of the group/person in power to enforce ideology, laws, religion, behavior, you name it.
