You hear that, plebes? The governments of the world have already won, so you shouldn't even try being an independent human being with a sliver of privacy.
You're not entirely wrong but the defeatist attitude screams "I love the flavor of this boot."
"The "Overlords" of this world are that smart and special, maybe you should just let them be in charge" is a real wild fuckin take. Especially when the last fifteen years have been nothing but evidence that the "Overlords" of the world are absolute fucking dipshits just like anyone else.
And like, I'm not trying to hide from the gov, I just don't want companies like Google and Microsoft knowing what I'm doing
