What happened to doing things not because they are easy because they are hard? I'm not sure how you would protest human rights violations or worldwide starvation. with "nukes or willingness to give own life for the cause, or at very least a truck bomb."

If you think it's beyond an Orwellian nightmare, you may want to read 1984, or Animal Farm. It's a bit more surveillance than Road to Wigan Pier I grant you.

if you value security over everything else, your probably an american.

Yes they are all the same, every single one of them throughout the world. I know people said that about my generation, and that was obviously wrong, but these kids...

Totally unoriginal thoughts, and lack of individuality. This post tediously parroting. It's like the flat earthers saying "do the research", the crowds in life of Bryan chanting "we are all individuals" and hundreds of thousands of levellers fans singing "there's only one way of life and that's your own".

You'll wait for a long time. The pro Assange lot make flat earthers look reasonable.

Do read it again old chap.

And yet you share this on a publicly available website...

They are definitely not taking my data. I still have it. Copying it? well yes obviously. But so what?

I don't mind to be honest. Let them listen. I only pity the poor person listening in. I not saying if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear, but I have no fear of this at all. What's the worst they can do with it? Laugh at me behind my back, well I haven't been afraid of that since I was 6. A data breach is another matter, but if that happens then the voice recordings are probably the least interesting. I also get it that other people don't feel the same way, and good for you if you don't. Just don't think those of us who are fine with it are somehow stupid with no technical nous. I'm happy for a corporation to have a good profile of me as long as they comply with GDPR. I would rather not have advertising everywhere, but if I want free products they have to fund it somehow.

Books were sold before Amazon was created, but that doesn't mean that Amazon doesn't sell books. Same as tools to recruit terrorists existed before the internet, but that does not mean that the internet isn't a tool to recruit terrorists. It's not an either or, you can have more than one tool.

There is a big difference between them though isn't there. We have evidence showing we went to the moon, so any contrary view can be dismissed. We have evidence that trump said "Mexico will pay for it" so when he says he didn't say it we can show it's a lie and the Honey Monster can be categorised as a a spreader of factual inexactitudes. CIA testing LSD? Some thought that the US wouldn't do such a thing as it was immoral, and no hard evidence to show that they did. This is a very dependable position. No one though it was beyond the capabilities of them to do it though. It's not a slippery slope, nor thin edge of the wedge.

I demand you get "OYAHHH is an idiot" tattooed on your forehead. Does it conflict with your personal world-view? It contradicts your view of the word and you refuse to do it? Which is .... wait for it ... perfectly fine. Why do you think google have to publish any wild musings you want out there? There is a word for that - "entitlement".

Flowers on a razor wire, you can't trust them.

Proof? No, but then you can only get proof in maths. Evidence, yes lots of it, and evidence of evidence being removed by russia and Syria. And evidence that they give contradictory accounts about the gassing. And those that were gassed. Believing that Assad, with help and backing by putin gassed his own people is taking the evidence and choosing the most probable. It might not have been him, but if it isn't then a long series of accidents and coincidences have occurred so it looks like him. Much more evidence that he did it than you would need to get a conviction.
