Well, the catholic church is basically a faschist organization by it’s organigram. Obey to the leader you fucks or go to hell (literally).

It’s low hanging because it’s overweight.

Because capitalism is doing unbeatably well in incorporating whatever social movement and then celebrating itself as being “progressive” while just exploiting some valuable aspects of these movements. Sexual liberation? Well you get it back as “freedom” in the form of sexualized advertisement. Feminism? You get it back as women working now basically equally much (but both partners basically earning less in total). Psychedelic drugs that make you question the foundations of our materialistic world? You get it back as micro-dosing to enhance creativity (=productivity). The list goes on, and always will.

Spot on.

It is not counter privacy. It is (potentially) counter anonymity.
