"But I'd much rather have this than every other social system, where the sociopaths fuck over the common people unchecked." You already live in that society, you're just unaware of it. The (mass surveillance) by the NSA and abuse by law enforcement is just more part and parcel of state suppression of dissent against corporate interests. They're worried that the more people are going to wake up and corporate centers like the US and canada may be among those who also awaken.

>I don’t say I disagree, really, but you really ought to dial down the nutty-rant factor just a tad. Nothing nutty about it, you just don't know what is going on in the world and what all the spying is about. [LINK] In his 1970 book Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era, Brzezinski wrote the following. "The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities."

>There is a lot of evidence that we should be very afraid of the state if you look at Verfassungsschutz activities. It goes way beyond that, all elites of all nations are afraid of their publics and are basically already implementing soft versions of martial law behind the scenes. The media being complicit. You should, the elite are locking down the planet and most people are too stupid and uninformed. Most won't believe it because it goes against belief in corporate ideology.

"Anyway, his theory on capital accumulation is based on a completely flawed framework, and completely useless for understand what's happening today." Sorry but you've never read marx if you're saying that. Also check what a former national security advisor has to say on the matter. "capitalistic accumulation itself... constantly produces, and produces in the direct ratio of its own energy and extent, a relatively redundant population of workers" On the spying...

" is that as IoT devices become more and more ubiquitous, I'll probably still end up with some kind of quasi-surveillance garbage in my house." This is the natural result of free market capitalism and private property, property owners (corporations) want to protect it and their profits from the plebians. So they buy the governments and strip plebians of their rights. Our brains are much worse at reality and thinking than thought.
