PGP encryption should be taught in school. Ingrained.

Data privacy used to be trampled on with the fear of ‘terrorism’, but the Americans blasted the airwaves with the word so much that it diluted the word to the point it instills zero fear.

Now the new words of the times to trample on privacy is CSAM.

And like utter fools, the public fall for the same crap time and time and time again.

The truth is, the world will always be shit and have shit people in it. Those shit people will do shit things.

It’s a fight over your soul now. And the AI is going to love love love everything it has on every single person on the planet. I can’t wait for the AI to come for us all - we are collectively just awful (and I believe we the west are probably more awful to humanity than even the Chinese, Israel or the Russians, and that is saying something).

I am mad.

Please give examples of how the authoritarian, repressive, conformity-demanding CCP is less awful and soul destroying than Western democracy, as flawed as it is.

western democracy is good for people in the west.

not other countless nations that have been enslaved, colonized, invaded, subjugated, stripped in the name of democracy and religion.

Russia, CCP etc are horrible too - but let us not forget history.

The Global South Remembers.

Western nations aren't solely responsible for insufficient historical education.

Germany committed the Holocaust in my country. They murdered more than 100k of our citizens. And even more died in the WW2 that they started. But now we are in the same political, military and currency union with them, because countries and their ideologies change.
