Fascism is our actual governance system - if you define it as 'government and corporations working together', as Mussolini did. It is just that we are mostly under the illusion that we live in a democracy. It is long in the plann

If government were 'for the people' it would be required that appliances etc work regardless of communicating with the parent company. Eg, it is probably already illegal to use the term 'purchase' for this sort of thing

Government overreach is the reason for this - no need to ask for more. If you believe in climate change, you will feel happy to 'save the world' by ceding control of your personal data and resources to the government. The idea is

Which software isn't selling out privacy? PS even something like signal (presuming things are as private as we are told) encourages phone usage, which is very leaky. I'm struggling to think of benign software - I guess linux etc c

Why wouldn't seeds also be considered in the same category? Seeds also do not change or exhibit life, and can remain in that state for years, even centuries. But then, with water, they start to grow. Could it not be considered the sam

How is it that sneaky fees were ever legal? Surely the legal principle is very well established that the price shown is 'the price'? And that sneaky fees were already illegal? I can't help but wonder whether a blind eye was

Yes this discriminates, but your example illustrates the exact reverse way to what I meant. Being subject to conscription is like a negative right/loss of rights - men are being forced to potentially put their lives on the line. Ca

One man's slippery slope, is another man's exploration of an idea. I don't think exploring widely is unproductive. I could also say, that discussing slippery slopes (a linguistic discussion) is itself what moves the discussi
