I'm not rose tinted about anything domestically, I think all the shennanigans with private bankers acting as a leg of government will likely end with us all dead, or at least a vast majority of us. As for the international concerns, its very hard to not be concerned when you have the chinese with so much history going against them including their own documents, coupled with intentional acts to interfere for that purpose. You don't run illicit police stations out of your embassy, spying sure, but domestic police forces internationally for shadow ops is another thing. (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63671943 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63671943) Then there's other things like targeted blocking of access to accounts due to 'technical issues' when you try to sign up for continuing education (in the US). For example, GeeTest is required to be used by all California Community Colleges to even be admitted. Of course if you just let it happen it just happens in the background, and there is some whitelisting, but you have CCCApply staff saying you have to run and send a intrusive fingerprint to china if you want to apply for college (in the US). Yeah its been reported to CISA. Maybe you just don't work in a profession where you see these things on a day-to-day basis. Its pretty in your face everywhere you go, unless of course your living under a rock. Unfortunately, you are wrong about the effectiveness of the campaigns, and with education you wouldn't have as many people locked into that cycle. The way the psychology works, if you know and can identify it critically, its less effective thanks to reversal.
