If most of us believe what we're told, if we are obedient that way, and keep an eye on our possibly-deviant neighbors, and those neighbors know that they are being watched, that's good enough.

  Good enough for what? Obedient to whom? Deviating from what? What the fuck are you talking about?

  Good enough for a dystopian nightmare

    Yeah but it’s an efficient, smooth-running dystopian nightmare

      … Are you arguing for or against things getting worse?

  I’m very close to blocking this account. I think I might have a lot of sympathy for OPs positions, but it’s impossible to know, because they never legitimately make an argument or point. Just pseudoedgy shit like this “showerthought”.

  @rainrain@sh.itjust.works, if you actually want people to engage with you (instead of downvoting most of your posts into oblivion) attempt to have a mature conversation. Something like:

  “Do you think that society is increasingly supportive of surveillance, and that online spaces have normalised judging other people and reinforcing norms without really understanding them as individuals.”

  or "all public discussions must balance freedom of expression and maintaining a meaningful discourse. Do you think the pendulum has swung to far in the direction of censorship? If so, how can we allow more varied perspectives while still maintaining a space where sane people want to spend time? "

  When you sound like a dumb edgy teen, or a lazy troll, most people are not going to engage positively. If you actually care about these issues your doing a fuckin awful job of promoting your position. Show that you understand the issue, and the pov of the other side, and then discuss what needs to change. If you’re just a troll, then at least mix it up a little. Severely lacking in teh lulz.
