Making people not own anything anymore while stealing all their data and forcing shit into them while making them pay monthly fees which increase constantly to bleed people dry, is not sadistic and oppressing? While at the same time taking control of governments by paying off corrupt politicians to change rules to make more money at the cost of safely, environment and freedom of people? Maybe the only difference is that the reason to torment and oppress is to gain money and power. But is that different to 1984? It’s how regimes maintain power. Make the people weak enough so they can’t do anything against you but make them not weak enough to work for you.
A lot of what you say resonates with me. I wish people who feel this way could just all move somewhere or something. But even if we could I’m sure it would just get bombed like Tulsa did.
I wonder what would happen if we all stopped using cell phones and laptops. Stopped really driving anywhere or buying things. I’m sure it’s quite impossible for some. But we can always say no in some way or another. I wonder how bad it would have to get before people seriously think that the Amish lifestyle is preferable.
