Democracy was an experiment from the beginning. All the funding for that experiment dried up long ago. When democracies fail new ones do not replace them. Disposing of the US over some trivial BS is not wise. The replacement forthcoming will be much worse than what we have now. It is literally impossible to do better in this day and age. We are looking at the ultimate failure of not only capitalism and democracy, but western values and even common morality. The new reality is that the surveillance state is part of the ride. If you are not a rapist or pedophile then why would you be concerned about cameras in Public anyways? If nobody is trying to smuggle children then why do we keep losing them? These ideas would not get so much traction if they were not a legitimate response to a real world stimuli. Favouring any argument made by non citizens and/or “the naysayers” tends to be labeled as “Anti” which is a dangerous label I would assume anyone who has kids would support the idea of tracking programs because it implies a higher level of operational security and access denial. I am truly curious who's voices these are calling for transparency and open security, because they are trying to rape your daughter. Prove me wrong, prove me wrong. I repeat, only a rapist, thief, terrorist or spy would be alarmed about the development of this “Surveillance State” technological paradigm. So when the trolls try to argue Philosophy as some generic excuse to protest scrutiny, take another look. What does he have to hide. What business is it of theirs to speak for you about cyber security or domestic opsec? And in fact who are you to care about that stuff at all either?
