What is surveillance-fascism?
(a.k.a. what is the Fediverse missing?)

* big data
(collection of tons of private data used for profiling and authoritarian control)
* attention harvesting
(reducing attentionspan and causing addiction)
* ragebaiting
(hatred boosting alorithms & government botfarms)
* hyper-capitalism
(ads, more ads, profit, hidden ads, influencers, interrupting ads, plugs, camoflaged ads)
* AI

#PostCapitalism

For decades leftists have cheerfully called some especially troublesome developments in our society #LateStageCapitalism or post capitalism - acting like those developments were a sign that capitalism has run its course and we'd be freed from it soon.

I never understood that, as the natural successor to (hyper) capitalism is fascism, not socialism.
I wish I had been wrong.

It's the middle of the night and I can't sleep, so I just permanently deleted my PayPal account and requested a data delete.

Thanks to everybody who supported me through difficult financial times ❤️ (they are not over, but I'd rather starve than continue supporting US companies*).

*Please don't see that as criticism to anybody who really depends e.g. on donations via PayPal or similar services. I'm privileged enough that I will somehow survive without.

Two arguements.

A: WhatsApp belongs to Facebook/Meta and they are using their users' data to establish fascism all around the world. Signal is the same app, just with a different symbol and without human rights violations.

B: I'm not used to anything but Whatsapp and don't want to download another app.

B always wins.

phone: do you want to give this app permission to use your personal data to establish fascism worldwide?

me: no

phone: blocked Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta, X, OpenAI and 9.999+ other #SurveillanceFascism companies that the app tried to connect to.
