This is fascinating and scary at the same time.
As we slide in a surveillance global system too busy to notice, Hong Kong is showing us the possible future of Western societies.
Maybe time to cancel extradition agreements with the US?
My absolute frustration, and reason I'm close to giving up, is I see people posting warning of bad things to come, politically, ecologically, technically, but they do nothing. One person alone usually can't change much. A few can but even getting a few to do anything is nearly impossible. If everyone just wrote a single letter a year to their mp/representative/whatever, even just phoned up a business about excessive packaging, things would start to move.
It's in your hands basically.
