I’m coming to feel like there are too many ambiguities in regard to anti-State, surveillance, security, etc. sentiment.
A lot of the kind of talk like in this article boils down to disputes over power and its preservation.
I’m not familiar with the Register’s ideological bend, if they possess one at all, nor that of the author’s. Nonetheless it’s worth taking into consideration the liberty and agency that this article is seeking to defend in response to the state’s.
