I understand that freedom is not free.
But why should I allow the widespread and mindless acceptance of new ease of use technologies, if opting out will harm me? Why not just fight them from the beginning?
Case in point, I work and live in a cash economy. I am, like most living in poverty, without a bank account. I do not have a credit card. If I wish to travel by air, because I pay in cash I am subjected to being pulled and run through the security apparatus.
What you are saying is that it is a personal choice for me, not joining in modernity means strangers are allowed to fondle my prostate.
Which is something I consider every time I must travel. This is a choice that the rest of America made for me, I dont like it. I dont like anything that even vaguely smells as if it may be similar 20 years from now.
BTW before you attack my economic status, I am speaking of cheap flights, Specifically Independence air. I realize that even with that price I 'could' get a bank account. If my credit and income had not placed me in a state of debt slavery.
I grew up working class in D.C. Try paying your bills on a minimum wage job there now. I stupidly tried to fight basic market economics, I.E. not be forced out of the neighborhood I grew up in. I lost, badly. I am slowly paying my way out of debt, but still owe the next two years of my life to the forces of gentrifuckingcation.
