  Encroaching crypto-fascism. A perverse desire for control, because what’s power without control and what’s a politician without power?

    Maybe im not well versed in European politics enough but I don’t see the same level appearing in other European or Anglo countries? Like even in the USA we have death squads now but I can still use a VPN… Age restrictions is usually due to religious voters

  So techbros can seize control over the last strongholds of independence and anonymity on the net. Then we have no choice but to use it how they want or not at all. The immense power of computing and the internet ripped out of the hands of the public, sold access and restricted to corproate approved uses.

  People seem to forget the Britain was the U.S. before the U.S. was the US. I think they had people fooled for awhile because they were part of the EU.
