Why the Inquisition Built the Surveillance State

https://clairesalerno.substack.com/p/why-the-inquisition-built-the-surveillance

The real motive behind web 2.0, web 3.0, the cloud, AI, and panopticon nonsense is to identify and isolate heretics.
"They began with the network. If you can find one suspected heretic and interrogate them about their associations, who they speak to, who they share meals with, whose homes they visit and which neighbours are sympathetic, you can build a list of names."
"Then, you visit each of those people on the list and ask them the same questions. From this you can build a map of the entire community, identifying relationships and flagging suspects."
[. . . . .]
"They used the social fabric of communities and rewarded those who denounced others. They reduced penalties for cooperation, and built the assumption that staying silent is itself suspicious."
"They made it so the rational choice for any individual in the community is to inform on neighbours before neighbours inform on them. This creates a self-policing community. The community does the work, with the institution as the receiving authority."
"Think about that for a moment, because it describes the current digital surveillance apparatus exactly."
This is exactly how the bulk of social media and online platforms work to maintain thought control and censorship. It is following the Roman model of fascism, while pretending to denounce fascism, or vocally denouncing socialism, while supporting socialism for the rich. The people screaming the loudest about 'fascists' or 'socialists' or 'communists' or 'liberals' or 'nationalists' or 'racists' are in fact the imperial collaborators, the turncoats, the snitches, the sellouts, the shills, etc.

Palantir is alles waarvan we een paar jaar geleden nog dachten dat het paranoïde was om te denken dat iemand dat ooit zou willen, laat staan kunnen.

Or the facial recognition code is for use by META and ICE. THEY can turn it on. And watch through the META glazes anywhere, or find anyone anywhere.

META GLASSES are rhe Panopticon. Spies in our houses and homes.

“Well, if they have cameras and they know someone is watching the workers…” —my coworker talking about service/retail workers being surveilled like it’s what keeps them in line, meanwhile she has the luxury of having a fifteen minute telephone convo with her adult kid, knowing her white color job doesn’t surveil her. #surveillanceInTheWorkplace #panopticon #landscapesofSurveillance
