971 sats \ 4 replies \ @kepford 3 Jan \ on: How I became followed by the CIA privacy
I have news for people. The CIA doesn't have unlimited resources and I seriously doubt they are wasting their limited human resources trailing some random pleb. This is a common mistake people make when they go down the privacy rabbit hole. Don't get me wrong. I am 100% in favor with practicing whatever level of privacy you believe is appropriate.
Now, is our data being collected and analyzed by super computers? Yeah. Most plebs are not being targeted by three letter agencies. Most of us are zero threat to the state or the agency. They have much higher priorities. That's my take at least. This person just encountered an actual homeless man that likely has a mental condition. Its a sign of the failure of the state. Not the god like power of the state.

Also plebs have been so saturated with the propaganda that the State has deity level powers that even though they say they believe governments are incompetent they seem to believe some of the story.
It is true that the State has vast resources that dwarf those of any one individual. However, there are limits. There are people they can't touch. Also, they ignore most people. They don't need to put a dude on every person. If you stop and think for a moment this idea is absurd. Most people are zero threat and not that interesting.
We will win. The state will eventually fall under the weight of its own incompetence.
