It's a little weird to see them celebrating the surveillance state that they are creating. A system like this is wide open for abuse.

There’s so Roko’s Basalisk shit going on with fascism like this.

If we build the surveillance state, surely we’ll be the ones to benefit from it. And if we don’t we’ll be punished by the people who do.

False. You’ll be punished anyways.
