Here is a less radical version
Privacy is not negotiable. It is not a privilege granted by the state, but a fundamental condition of human freedom. Any attempt to undermine encryption, to insert backdoors, or to surveil private communications is not about protecting children, it is about total control.
The invocation of child protection is not neutral. It is a deliberate emotional manipulation, weaponized to silence dissent and shame opposition. If these proposals were truly about helping children, they wouldn’t be attacking the one technology that protects vulnerable people, encryption, including children themselves, activists, journalists, and victims of abuse.
Once the infrastructure for total surveillance is in place, it will never be dismantled without revolution. History is clear: power concedes nothing voluntarily. There will be no going back. The moment we compromise, we lose everything, and we will not get it back without blood.
There is no middle ground between liberty and submission. This is not a policy debate. This is a war for the future of human autonomy. We must reject this system entirely, not tweak it, not reform it, but destroy it at its root. To preserve freedom, we must be absolutely ungovernable.
The entire point of surveillance is that all attempts at revolutions can be thwarted.
Every other time in history, the oppressor has eventually rotted from inside and its carcass thrown overboard.
Over centuries humanity might escape its prison again.
But for the people alive when the prison is built, they will become cattle for the rest of their lives and so will their children.
We might one day build ourselves a prison we can never escape, like farms are for cow.
But if that ever happens, at least there is hope that a very large asteroid will sterilize this planet down to the last spore.
I only pray the infection has not spread to other stars before this happens.
