I mean we do transport phone and internet signal all a roundthen world via big cables under the ocean already. That’s non an impossible challenge.

Every form of government is authoritarian by definition

You realise that the sun never goes away right? Half of the earth is illuminated 24/7

Again. Reading a message is just a minuscule, and not even the most important part, of the process of surveillance. The infrastructure necessary to implement something like this is a lot larger than just the software and hardware necessary to automate data collection.

And no, that infrastructure MOST DEFINITELY DOES NOT have the capacity to monitor everyone or even everyone who attended a protest. This is just a fact. The courts themselves would not have enough capacity.

Why do they not arrest every single participant then? You think everyone that doesn’t get arrested is because they use signal and all of those that got arrested used WhatsApp? That’s just disingenuous.

The technology exists, infrastructure not yet.

If we had a stable and international network, there would be not a time without sun or wind.

“Capacity” doesn’t merely regard hardware. Right now in the US, the number of active LE officers is outnumbered 400 to 1. Meaning each police officer/FBI agent would have to keep an eye on 400 people at a time to get to the kind of surveillance state that many think is already here (it’s not). The situation is similar if not worse in the rest of the western world. The UK is seeing record low numbers of LE officers, so low that the government changed the law few years ago to allow people with face tatoos in the force lol.

They do monitor individual “Profiles” when they have justifiable reasons for it. Monitoring aprofile can include everything, phone monitoring, social media monitoring, physical monitoring. But again, you must have been cause of serious worry for them to start such investigations on you.

In most cases simply attending a protest, which is protected by the constitution, would not amount to that kind of surveillance, even for the simple fact of lack of officers to monitor every attendant to the protest.

Again I’m not saying this stuff doesn’t happen. It does happen, sometimes officers can pick on you and make stuff up to justify it, the use of AI models for this type of operations is gonna makes things worse for sure, and the way trump is using ICE as his personal paramilitary group also doesnt help, but we are still very very far for that Orwell’s 1984 type of surveillance, merely from a technology and capacity standpoint.

Right now the people that are monitoring every single of your actions are big tech, not police or governments. And what I’m arguing is simply that safety should not come at the cost of action. Because that’s also how they get you, either by arresting you or by making you so afraid that you won’t rise up against them. They win in both cases.

I speak for me personally now when I say that even though I’m a privacy advocate, my priority is to try make change even at the cost of putting myself in risky situations, that’s actually why I am a privacy advocate. It’s not a tool I use to hide from the system, it’s a tool I use to keep myself safe as I go against the system.

No it’s not! It’s a minuscule step forward which will achieve no change whatsoever for the average person except an INCREASE in the amount of carcinogenic compounds in the atmosphere!

The massive step forward would be not needing boiling water and not needing to burn any fuel whatsoever to produce energy. That would be a “massive” step forward, not nuclear.

And btw, water vapour is a greenhouse gas too.

Photovoltaic is the future, it’sprettyy much unarguably the only technology that can create energy without moving parts or without any sort of burning.

You don’t get any more futuristic than this. The only problem with photovoltaic and wind is that they’ve been actively boycotted.

Here in the UK energy providers habitually stop their own wind turbines just because otherwise the price of energy will get too low. That’s how fucked up the system is. And nuclear is nothing more than an astute way for these capitalist pigs in control of the energy sector to keep making money from something that should be free already.

That’s true, I’m not saying that never happens. I’m just saying one should evaluate the likelihood of something happening, not just the risk itself, or you might end up depriving yourself of useful experiences and interactions, de facto letting the feds win without even actually doing anything.

Again even in that case I would ask myself, why would they pick me out of the other million people that were at the same march?

Unfortunately the line between safety and self-destroying paranoia, isn’t that thick.

Yes, transmission is a complex thing to do, and that’s why more funds should used to improve research in that direction, rather than wasting hundreds of billions on ticking time bombs, so that mining company owners can get richer while making us sicker.

1 hour of sunlight that hits the sunlit hemisphere, contains enough energy to satisfy the needs of the whole planet for 1 year. That’s how much solar is better than nuclear.

I really can’t believe that in 2026, the idea of generating energy by boiling water, is still considered “advanced tech” just because they wanna use a different fuel. Lol

And no, solar doesn’t need land.

You realise that death isn’t the only bad thing that can happen to you? I’d say crippling you and future generations for life is worse than death.

It’s good to be conscious about these things, but it’s also important to have a correct analysis of the threat level.

Do you have a good reason to believe authorities might be monitoring your phone specifically out of the hundreds of millions of people the could pick from? They don’t have the capacity to monitor every single phone or conversation. They will have their own threat analysis and only put you under that type of surveillance if you are or if you have the potential to become an active threat to them.

If you just go about your life minding your business then you can be certain the feds aren’t reading your sms.

It’s true that better safe than sorry, but at the same time you can’t let safety paralyse you and stop you from acting.

And earthquakes, and tsunamis, and hurricanes, and floods, and any other unforeseen circumstance which will result in rising level of cancer and lowering life expectancy for generations in the centuries to come. But yes who cares?! Glowy thing go brrrrrrr!

Calling us propagandised while pro-nukes are the ones saying shit like “solar panels are expensive and require specialised maintenance” (both lies)

That’s beside the point. Nuclear isn’t sustainable on the long run, period.And solar can potentially generate all the electricity needed and more by itself.

pro-nuke when you tell them nuclear energy is fossil fuel energy: 😡

*wind and solar are unarguably the best energy sourcrs, and the only sustainable ones.

Independent auditors like co-west-pro consultancy

Also, the UN itself has never verified or confirmed the claims of genocide.

This article go through the claims one by one.

I see… keep spreading debunked propaganda, while thinking yourself as a freedom of speech fighter.

So are you proposing we keep the Chinese as our slaves forever?
