    An important distinction is security for whom? When a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie passes some piece of security legislation, their sole concern is security for the rich elite, not the commoners. In that case, oppression of the people is not an unintended consequence of the legislation going wrong like this image suggests, we’re collateral damage at best and the intended victims of the legislation at worst.

      The Marxism/Privacy intersectional analysis is something I never expected to see. But I welcome it with open arms.

      I’m glad this community isn’t just right-wing libertarian tinfoil-wearing loonies.
