cnpol, xinjiang, mass surveillance
"Xinjiang really shows how privacy is a gateway right, where if you have no privacy, that’s where you see that you have no freedoms as a human being at all. You don’t have the right to practice your religion, you don’t have the right to be who you are, you don’t even have the right to think your own thoughts because your thoughts are being parsed out by these incessant visits and incessantly monitored by surveillance systems, whether they’re human or artificial, and evaluated constantly for your level of loyalty to the government."

When I saw people insisting that the DC insurrection was the work of "rioters" and "terrorists", I thought about saying something about how that's not a helpful tactic. Here's why. This will ultimately end up targeting the disenfranchised and not the white millionaires who arranged and attended the insurrection.

A guy came back from the dead and now I eat him. Once rented a hamster. High-fived a whale. Mr. Hooper is my hero. #zhaif4laif
