My biggest pet peeve is the continual slide of society towards a growing surveillance state as capitalism pursues infinite profits through the sale of every facet of your life.

    It's the old story of boiling a frog alive!

    You increase the temp too fast or throw him into boiling water hell get out. If you slowly increase the temp from cool to boil, it'll get cooked alive.

    Society incrementally gets worse so it's hardly noticeable. Inflation made the news a few years back but now it's all hush hush. Everything can go unnoticed until it doesn't, and most things are so subtle, most people don't give it a second thought.

    Or like buying a new car and then you see that same model everywhere. Now that you're familiar, is easier to see. Same with security and privacy!!
