Unsurprisingly, people in their majority responded positively to increasing security: that's called an emotional response, and that's very well documented everywhere. That is a field manual example of the Shock Doctrine at work. We should never lose sight of how the power is seizing any opportunity to move its agenda forward to more control in society. More control means harder response from opposing forces, leading to more terrorism, and therefore more control freak show. It's an arms race, and its logic is flawless.
"The only winning move is not to play." Fortunately, as in the deterrence doctrine, building up muscle and showing off claws and teeth usually works up to a point. Unfortunately, we're on the defending side, and don't make much of a deterrent threat to anybody: we just want to enjoy reading comics while taking a dump, and that's hardly a deterrent, unless you got yourself drunk eating lots of meat and drinking hardcore beverages, then you might qualify for chemical weapon. Otherwise, we're left without an inch of maneuver against a power gone out of control. * Back on topic, I have an issue with Tox implementing WebRTC support: the protocol completely disregards the privacy issue of disclosing the peers real IPs when connecting them to each other, especially as the rendez-vous is a third party. It seems like a protocol design coming straight out of Fort Meade. == hk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJU04xbXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRFQ0IyNkIyRTNDNzEyMTc2OUEzNEM4ODU0 ODA2QzM2M0ZDMTg5ODNEAAoJEEgGw2P8GJg9DbAP/3ftaLhQLK0ApeTDOuPpobi1 FTKTDocWFCxZaD5fQ77AFs2298ql+ZkvQuF13SwwuBPW8HXBjP31PvRtZo03Tjo/ wafFxiN5cfiPvHgl+GT0K54yeYnEGvROoUqS3T+sSwb9LMxhWoC7qL47VvlKLNUH nsNWBAkmYwJKffylUZvfysZsbE0In8Rka2ebmDkwJ+y0XNkqrl310cf7/62bcptn QmBgwsASFAp6tGlS2iqTGYFHjcDlg3hvZfHGGvjVTfZaRtF3RxQiMOcMug3WVRNF rUqI5C1bbmG3KQYzXxkrKXgKdQ+O1HsKuD2nagoggJZYs6s5hxsv9Yr6VF3bUQWM y7y+JBY/fu2jMsJFPjKe/e/F/8YVoCkGVGTghgqS7xhS5zxhB8ljMAJBFoSHiWAq KArmgeKNiYZQL2S6ayGuD2OWUH7C7NIC9zFm3PQVYF9jVMFMClojoHwDgx/CCqds GAJNGsS3LyfXQzboFLC1yZlDWj3cx0mn9JF1/au5brD1QAeuY/1958jUhJo3kGpH CeWP5F1W4tlLNR5/Vt/UMUmPem8Yk0aBnI4T13zUl040BUOpdy7FuA1K4/4RNj+2 l+aPzstQAp5P0KM9iYzcDOmCfI32db2RWjSPxJI4FkMPg6AL2Dfc+qNS//8C7n5n 9fGReanELgYcEni14hkT =g3o6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
