I could write a fucking book here and I had to delete about a chapter just to get to the point here so this would be readable.
The current Russian and US gov'ts are forces for evil in the world. If they say jump, I'm looking for a shovel.
You're not wrong that corporations are also a real problem—they are the surveillance arm of world governments. That doesn't really intersect with what I was trying to say.
Until recently, I had the luxury of knowing my government doesn't give a shit if I have queer kids. But now they do, at the same time that there is a push against encrypted communication. And I'm really paying attention to the signals (hah!) they are sending, because I'm mentally preparing for shit to turn really dark, really fast, and I don't want to be caught with my pants down.
