Oh please. If you were truly anti authoritarian you’d recognize that a state enforcing the will of one group over another is authoritarianism, but when it’s a side you like, you don’t call it that
And Russia is often not considered European simply because it's fighting the West for resources... for the exact same reason Latin America is excluded from the ''West'' despite its culture
Ummm if you're really serious about privacy wouldn't you have already switched to GrapheneOS and Linux? Like people who actually care about this stuff avoid Google, Microsoft... and proprietary software like the plague
If surveillance is the worry shouldn't that same skepticism apply beyond just China? I dunno it kinda feels less about privacy and more about a specific distrust, you know?
Yeah true but humans have evolved to cooperate on a large scale, unlike most primates
The violence we see today has nothing to do with culture clashes or a lack of evolution... it’s driven by inequality. And the state wasn't created to solve coordination problems, it emerged from inequality to protect those who had too much
Yeah... people forget that ancient humans survived through cooperation long before states existed and the fights they did have were mostly just over territory and resources. Not some deep evil ''human nature''
If your sense of right and wrong depends on a map or a label, then I don't think you have principles... you just have a tribe
