        Are you simultaneously so seething and so cartoonishly racist that you both immediately see some scheming terror in a joint policing agreement, and immediately think to post it back here almost a week later? Unironically seek help for this

          You mean a general distrust against surveillance states is racist? I distrust governments in general. How is that racism?

          I follow up on the attacks on my networks and if it’s not the Chinese state then at least some Chinese citizens are heavily targeting us. But no less than Middle Eastern or American states.

          If you read the reports on how Chinese underground police stations were operating on European soil a healthy distrust would be in place.

          There’s no conspiracy theory. Large nations are en masse collecting our data. Everyone’s data. Whether you’re a hairdresser or a politician. Cambridge analytica showed us how that knowledge can be weaponized. So yeah, it bothers me that the tin foil hat card is drawn when I point out genuine risks to our society.

      Oh no, why do you think teenage girls can get up to 200 euros of free stuff on Temu? They just have to sign away their privacy and the privacy of their friends. Easy. TikTok is collecting personal info en masse like there’s no tomorrow.

      More and more cars (not only Chinese) are driving around collecting tons of personal data without any limit. This is not tin foil speak but just facts.

      The fact that the EU market is flooded with insanely cheap Chinese goods is because of government funding. These companies are at war and are pushing local businesses out of the market.

        Dawg your phone and car are all sending your personal data to the five eyes governments and a billion data collection firms to be sold to advertisers and insurance companies. I’m way more worried about my “democratic” western government, who dissappears and kills protestors, getting my data, and they already have it. Everything you’re saying is projection, except the parts where you’re correctly assessing the inherent contradictions between free markets and nation states, but then just choosing to blame the inevitable outcomes of those contradictions on the country that we paid to make all our shit for us.

            And I don’t agree with that either. I’m not blaming anyone.

            It’s an invasion. And that is the war they’re waging.

            God you’re spineless. Lie to yourself all you want, your lies to others are incompetent.

              You ok? I’m here to discuss. I’m fine with you having a different opinion but where are the lies?

              I’m no China fanboy nor a EU fanboy. the world isn’t binary.

              I see a world at war. In some parts the war is explicit but there’s a trade war at hand as well. You can’t be blind to that.

              You’re free to block me but I’d rather discuss in an orderly manner.
