Why do people not realize how unacceptable all that shit is?

I mean imagine in the old days before email someone said that they wanted to open all mail packages and examine the contents as well as make a copy of all letters sent, personal or professional, that were sent through the mail? People would have been right outraged. Is it that because somehow posting things on a cell phone or computer makes them feel... less real?

Also every fucking time I see shit like this I am reminded of an old comic from Mad Magazine... it featured a young office boy talking to the sleazy manager. He says 'hey, I heard you started out just like me, and now you're practically running the whole company, can you give me some advice?'

And he responds 'well, for starters... make sure you read EVERYONES personal letters.'

I was a young kid when I first saw it and I didn't understand. But now I fucking do.

Going through someone else’s mail upset people so much, they made it a felony. 😮

Just to be safe I want everyone to know that if this guy gets shot I would be reaally sad.

I'm sure there is somebody out there who thinks this guy is not fascist enough! This is all so absurd.

Hi fascist! I'm guillotine!

I miss the times when fascists were beaten with rocks.

How would he like for his messages to be surveilled? The people pushing chat control conveniently leave out the detail that they decided to exempt themselves from this measure.

apparently nominally a member of a social-democratic party

When I was younger, I believed that social-democratic parties were better than conservative ones on matters of civil liberties. I stand corrected on that.

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 2 points 6 days ago

As a dane: The social democratic party in Denmark has changed a lot in the last 10-20 years. It used to be much more left-leaning. Nowadays it's essentially a middle party. They adopted quite a few policies from the right wing (especially on the immigration area), in an attempt to keep the power basically, and it has worked immensely well, in the sense that many, many people have voted for them.

Social democracy is the left wing of fascism

Historically and presently 100% accurate, cope

[–] calmblue75@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 week ago

It's more like people in power don't like civil liberties.

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

This is why it's so important to vote based on policy, not party names or "teams". Parties can name themselves whatever they want (within reason) and they evolve and change as well. Canada right now is a good example. The current Liberal party is basically the Conservative party of the 90s. Just look at policy and leave the brand out of it.

Never forget, North Korea calls itself The Democratic Republic of North Korea. The Nazis were called The National Socialist German Worker's Party. Words have meaning, even when they don't.

SocDem is still capitalist. Capitalist politicians answer to capital.

Also, if he's the chief architect, then this is what he's building:

Ahh CSS! how I fucking...

The consequence of Chat conttrol is a next step to open and control your post cards and any other privat correspondence with the same stupid argument of "security". Encrypted comunication exist for a good reason.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 31 points 1 week ago

All of the west has had conservative aristocrats take over their mainstream parties, the only reform vote is the far right misdirecting anger from the plutocracy to immigrants and everything else.

Without getting a popular reform option fascists will seize the entire west with russia and the us helping behind the scenes, and fix elections like in hungary or however and we will not be able to get rid of them even as they get worse every cycle.

The western european countries will fall like dominoes with current leadership and lack thereof. We need to organize first, then find and groom real leaders, then take elections and direct anger to it's sources, the super rich.
