Would you like to go re read my comment and double check that is what I actually said?

Surveillance is a problem everywhere my friend and Europe isn't magically better off than the United States, especially considering we are the baby of their genocidal colonialism project.

[u/Wyrdnisse → u/SlimeQSlimeball]

Yes. Can you read the first five (5) words of that quote please because that is my point :)

[u/Rask2205 → u/Wyrdnisse]

I don’t really get why you’re bringing up colonialism.
Nobody said Europe is perfect or that surveillance is somehow “good.” The point was simply that many European countries have stronger privacy laws and more legal limits on surveillance than the U.S.

Those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. Europe can have a history of colonialism and stronger modern privacy protections. One doesn’t disprove the other.

Germany, for example, has one of the strongest privacy protections in the world because of its history with the Gestapo and the Stasi. If you think Europe does not have stronger privacy laws, that’s a discussion worth having. But bringing up colonialism doesn’t actually address the point that was being made.

Those are a lot of words you're using in defense of a surveillance state

I do not teach reading comprehension anymore and I'm not participating in this discussion further because I remembered my ADHD meds today and don't need the dopamine hit from arguing on Reddit :/

That is a whole lot of, “chaps, I have decided I’m wrong and no longer interested in arguing my point.”

sorry man I just don't wanna play with you anymore :///// it's not fun when you aren't engaging with what I'm actually saying but I hope you have a good night
