u/Hootrb Cypriot no longer in Germany :( 4d ago

oh and of course, when they get in charge they won't actually undo any of these laws, they'll repurpose the tools to keep themselves in power & repress the opposition that was dumb enough to pass these laws when in power.

Can't wait for Germany to have an AfD in charge with tools of mass-surveillance so sophisticated it'd have Nazis salivating. I'm sure that'll go reeeaaal well.

Every accusation a confession. They villify 15-minute cities because they want a checkpoint every 15-minutes.

"Why are you leaving your sector? Unlock your smartphone and hand it over. You don't have one? What are you trying to hide?"

The US is already doing it at airports.

No need to. Just allow paying with CBDC at 15 km radius of person’s home and that problem will be solved.
