Objection to the use of my personal checkout history may seem like a small thing, but it essentializes how oppressive political regimes oppress. I had a friend who lived in the former Soviet Union who explained to me that the most private thing about you is what you read
I mean sure, I don’t want to be spied on for profit. But jfc she just haaaaad to sneak a jab at the USSR in there. It’s like its contractual for these people, any criticism of US capitalism has to include an “imagine how much worse it would be in bad country” segment
Maybe its just ideological camoflauge. Find gaping hole in American society and then say it would be worse in ‘designated enemy’ to avoid getting boeing’d. Expose silicon valley and US intervention but then say the solution is to vote for Biden so the feds leave you alone.
Or they have really shitty politics. Most likely they have shitty politics.
