Insofar as I’m concerned this represents a criminal form of governance or even de facto insurgency from within acceptable, seated forms of legitimized power—turned against civic life through the lens of technological prestige as a legitimizing form of dominance.
The fact that it corrodes are destroys the principles of democratic soveriegnty and civil rights has been overshadowed (from what I can tell) by a rhetoric of necessity and even inevitability.
It’s a classic case of, “We were so busy figuring out if we could do it, that we didn’t fully consider whether we should do it—or what we might lose.”
This is the reality we’re left with at the convergence of [Special Operations Forces / Divisions] +/- [Military Contractors] +/- [Black Budget / Private Sector Involvement] = [Global War On Terror Paradigm]
The global scope of conflict targets individuals on overlapping paralegal premises: [Suspected Criminality :: Predictive / Presumptive International Law Enforcement] + [Preemptive Threat Response to Perceived Systems Insubordination] = Criminalized dissent & passive civil disobedience.
A Holy War on your own innocent, and an end to the future as probabilities overcome possibilities, and collapse them by force into reality as it unfolds through algorithm before time.
This is the Promised Land for the Network State: an inversion of time. Freedom is defined by the unknown. If we are teathered to destiny, we have lost any reason to live for it.
