        It doesn’t matter if we defeat this one. They’ll just try again and again and again until it sticks.

          Infection is a natural part of existence and the human organism has to fight against every infection, whether familiar or not. We’ll just to have to take our bodies’ example.

            they make us fight and fight and fight until we are haggard and have no more fight in us. i hate them. Having others trying to control the group is natural. Accepting it without fighting back seems unnatural. Even wolf packs have been known to eliminate a mean-spirited leader.

              I’ve honestly started to believe that most people don’t have species consciousness (I don’t know how else to put it), in that they don’t see how their individual survival is inextricably linked to the survival (and wellbeing) of the species as a whole.

              Most people don’t understand that they’re as much a part of the shit show as anyone else and as such tend to just wait things over while the building burns down around them. It’s frustrating, beyond frustrating even.

          Accepting defeat is the quickest way for that. Humanity dealt with much worse already, and though they seem to be trying to be as bad, the push against them from the common citizen and the more reasonable of their peers in power is making momentum to be lost quickly.

          The way you defeat it, is a constitution that explicitly protect these rights and empowering a court that will strike down laws that violate those rights.

            Yeah about that: These laws get passed. They are enacted. People challenge them in court. The court strikes it down after a long time. Another slightly differently worded law with the same content gets passed and enacted. People challenge it in court…

            Or well, the Authoritarian scum just ignore the courts.

            What is needed is a strong resistance on every level. This needs to be brought to media attention, needs to be protested, the people behind it need to be public ousted, shamed and stripped from all power, the companies behind it need to be boycotted and sabotaged so they go out of business…

            Waiting for courts to deal with things does not cut it with authoritarians. They only understand collective power against them.

              USA never even gave their court the power to strike laws down, its just a precedent, and precedents aren’t the constitution.

              Besides, all it takes is 50 senators, and the senstors on the side that supports fascism represents people than their opposition. California has the same population as like 20+ republican states, but the those 20+ states have 20 times more senators.

              The court is biased and favors the far-right.

              The lesson is not “all constitutions are bad”, its “The Framers of the US Constitution sucked at their job or didn’t want a real fair constitution at all”

        Why do you think they cooperate with hardware manufacturers instead of OS producers or infiltrating the FOSS community harder?

        I can’t wait for the first fully open source computer.

      Do you have a nice copy pasta I can send?

      I also suggest people to post the list of email addresses they gather so we can paste that into our email clients: email1@email.com, email2@email.com, etc I’ve done this in previous battles against these authoritarian proposals and it makes it easier.

    Can we go 5 minutes without someone proposing a ridicilous law?!

    Can’t they focus on problems that actually matter?!

      That is exactly what they are doing. Focusing on problems that actually matter TO THEM. The average person’s problem is not their problem.

      Hitting you with one bad law after another is part of an intentional scheme to induce fatigue and get one by without the public noticing.

    The Europol’s precog crime-prevention AI needs to be fed again, I see. I’m assuming this is “for the safety of our children” again.

    Um… I’ve read the document, where does it say anything nefarious? All I can see is unifying requirements for metadata storage and time to live?

    As in - to what exactly should I object, where’s the hidden poison?
