No that's pretty normal. What's crazy is people hold their phones out & scream for someone else to call somebody while they hold a phone. Those people need to get shot.

It's always a Ideology. Protect yourself and use Technologies like Bitcoin when it's going too crazy. When a System fails, it becomes dangerous and the people will kill to protect their System.

This bothers me. What is a guy who's been reading stuff like a Cypherpunk's Manifesto for a dozen years supposed to think about this? Privacy is necessary for an open society....But we don't have an open society anymore.

A lot of people are caught off guard by this after speeding towards it for years because they don't listen or think about the consequences of their actions Others are more surprised it's taking this long to escalate

Well, after enough complacency and inaction, this happens. Started in 2019 and we're here today.
