One of the problems with all this crap is being able to draw clear lines between conspiracy and bureaucracy.
I don't believe there is a secret group trying to build the IT infrastructure to subvert democracy and throw us into re-education camps a la Pol Pot version 2013.
However, the bureaucracy is essentially building that very same system regardless of which administration is "in charge".
- exodust 13y agoVery good point. Bureaucracy does tend to lead us down certain roads not originally intended by those who set up the bureaucratic systems. Conspiracy is a way to draw attention to those bureaucratic failings, otherwise ignored as too hard, or too boring to think about. Which might mean "conspiracy" itself is an important process deserving more respect if it's the only way to shine a light on imperfect bureaucracy.
