Government officials often use “security” as an excuse to take your rights. They’ll increasingly say they need to surveil and control your communications and payments to keep people secure.

How about starting with the streets and trains and such? If they were actually serious about security more-so than control, they’d make sure that basic stuff is sorted out first.

We all know they use “security” as a political tool with zero intention of providing actual security

I was just in the airport yesterday and getting through security was annoying. I wish that if they’d take my rights, they’d at least provide a seamless experience

Isn’t this exactly what Trump et al are trying to do? Starting with trains and streets, but get fierce resistance from ”anti fascist” democrats as a response?

Absolutely agree. Canada is rolling out online harms and cybersecurity legislation that risks fundamental rights under the banner of “security". The bills introduce sweeping government powers to monitor communications and potentially sanction platforms, but the definitions of harm and scope of ...

I'll tell you an three easy solutions to make streets and trains more secure: 1. Repeal the Civil Rights Act 2. Privatize all public roads and public transportation 3. Allow open carry everywhere

Well put Lyn. You have such an ability to explain finance and government in a way that most people understand. You also helped me Orange pill my buddy Ted. I’ll never forget the first time I saw you was on London Real. I was blown away by your simple explanations on Bitcoin and finance.

the kind of policies government implements dictate how society will operate grant trust by default and a good people will blossom assume guilt by default and ask your people to suspect the worst unless verified by the government and you will breed the kingdom of suspicion and fear

Interestingly, the rate and forcefulness they say it also seems to correlate with how badly they have fucked the country's finances.

Haha, who wouldn't love to be stabbed on a public train for no reason while some government jerk-off is listening to the phone call you're having at that moment.

So true. In the UK, if you have something stolen and you inform the police, all they will do is give you a crime number for your insurance claim. If you have a tracker on your stolen phone and you tell them exactly where it is, they won't even go and try to recover it. But if you write some hurty...

First it was terrorism and 9/11, then it was women's rights and protecting children, then it was to eradicate rapists and pedophiles, now it is for eliminating ANTIFA. We have to acknowledge that we are also contributing to this cycle, most of the time for ego and an ill-intended purpose. People th...

Personally Id rather they create the whole social economic conditions that prevent people slipping into crime in the first place. Cause streets and trains are like corrective and not preventive

Honestly, I stopped believing that governments care that much about security. They mostly want to keep people in fear so that they can be somewhat under control. Especially now that communication bandwitldth is free and quasi infinite. It doesn't matter what the fear is and if it is actually real o...
