That's true! it's becoming a trend among governments to control everything that circulates around people, from our offline world to online. I'm just exploring these things more, and the more I learn, the darker it gets. I don't know if any rights made are really applied or if they are just lost in fancy legal words designed to fool people into thinking they are safe and have a private life.
Wow, now I maybe get what you mean; you're right!
This comes up with so called gun control debates. I see these things as violations of the natural right of self defense. And, what is interesting is that this violation affects those that are the weakest among us most heavily. Those that are smaller, weaker, and possibly lacking full mobility. The response is to say the police state will protect them... which is both naive and inconsistent since these people often tell me how prejudice the police are. We should defund them. Yet also we should depend on them?
States and governments have never done much to protect the human made "right to self defense." Look at a few decades of data and see how much countries' own governments have killed their innocent civilians compared to during war. Gun laws will do very little; I'm not a conspiracy theory spreader, but governments now fear that things are slipping from their hands, so they want civilians to be weak. Bad guys are still going to find guns with just one click online; it's just that they want people to be weak so they can do their nonsense. They'll give stupid reasoning talents from some well known personal tragedies that happened to people, and the solution? Ban guns. Laws are making the right to self-defense a lot weaker or heavily controlling, but it's still there. Thanks, I have an interesting question to ask everyone now.
Yes, it's by nature we've got it: fight or flight! But when we label it as a human right, this gets confusing and political as well. If it's a do or die situation, then it's definitely a right to defend yourself at all costs. If it's a fight between two or more people, or even any kind of war, both sides will fight and defend themselves. How about we rename it a natural right? You cannot say if it's a negative or positive right; when anyone is doing their self defense, it's their natural right, even if they are wrong. No law or anything could suppress this natural law of staying alive?
This email from Windscribe VPN stated that they are selling all my data, whatever I did on their VPN, back to me. I was really angry at them for what they did; I didn't expect they would do this to users. But then, when I looked further, I found out it was just a large scale April fools prank from them. I would say they got me! :)

We promised you all that we will never spend money on external advertisers, and we are sticking with that. However, we need to increase revenue, and that requires some out of the box thinking. We didn't just think outside of the box, we burned the box up and snorted the ashes. In the resulting euphoria, we decided to skip the middle man (the advertisers) and just sell you your own data back to you.

Oops! You got me. 😂 I just maybe don’t understand things that well, but from what I’ve studied, the past decades have been wild with so many terrible things happening. Now, governments are always on the brink of not just fighting with other countries but also with their own people. War wreaks havoc on societies, and if it affects the masses, things will definitely backfire, including the economy, etc. Even in countries like China and Russia.
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality
True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.
Seneca
It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.
