Sure thing, a surrogate is something that we equate as the same thing but is not the same thing, and it carries negative connotation because the differences causes loss to the owners.
A Hegelian pattern being a circular pattern that abuses the contrast principle (a psychological blindspot), and also includes a long historical context with regards to socialism/communism. For example, I'm sure you've heard of shock doctrine. That's a Hegelian pattern.
For an example of surrogates, your cell phone is a surrogate for the original telephone, also your computer, and any number of other add-on devices. They perform multiple functions, but the primary purpose has been superseded by secondary purposes of control, data collection. A digital soldier quartered in every house, that follows you everywhere you go informing on you to the highest bidder.
A car today is not a car, its a computer which performs the function of transportation, and may be a platform for assassination, but also allows granular tracking of your movements like an animal on a leash.
The fact that most people aren't aware of all the ways their agency has been taken matters little. Industry in cooperation with government, fueled by money-printing have excluded any option through oligopoly, except total compromise/dependency, in furtherance of control. History knows how runaway money-printing ends.
Are you aware your TPMS sensors in your tires passively beacon a unique ID for each tire everywhere you go? That collection of sensors is sufficient to uniquely identify you in conjunction with a few other things in the car remotely, everywhere. Its a weak broadcast, but there are remote sensor networks everywhere, including roaming sensor networks (Tesla's, Public Transpo, etc). All that data collection is mined and added to a secret big-tech dossier you have no control over.
The ODB-II uplink through the telematics unit may even allow a remote control takeover of your car, while you are driving it. Tricking the car into adverse road-condition programming causing an accident.
Bulk data collection of radio-frequency data is either freely available (wigle) or has a very low buyin which allows granular historic tracking for everyone in a geographic region, and there are groups that know about this, and use this towards Zersetzung style gang-stalking (criminal harassment). Just like the lex-luthor sponsored monkey bots on social media. /s
> are you misunderstood often.
I'm not misunderstood by rational people who can reason, avoiding fallacy, and tying their arguments to things that are objective; I'm fine with disagreement, I just can't abide by toxic dissembling and other manipulative tactics the more malign people use.
There are some real existential problems we need to deal with, and when you can't communicate sufficiently so people recognize because of channel jamming, language corruption, and other malign rhetoric, momentum will carry us right to extinction.
A civilization based on total control, is a society that will be extinct in short order.
There are quite a few people online these days, though I dare hesitate to call them actual people because they are delusional, hopelessly complacent, malevolent, or just blind waiting at the chance of being either of the previous 3.
The things I talk about are things people have been conditioned from a young age to believe are impossible, despite objective indicators to the contrary (i.e. lies so big it would rearrange their world), with real science behind it; that has largely been suppressed with the end goal being towards control of the masses.
An indoctrinated willful blindness is a big problem today, I'd say that is probably one of the top things that prevents most people from organizing to make everyone's lives better. The blind are easily manipulated by those with ill intent.
My main goal in bringing attention to things is to hopefully get people to pay attention, and take appropriate action. The ones that aren't paying attention often throw their lot in with the people seeking chaos for profit; survival be damned.
I want an advantaged future for my children. Not the disadvantaged hellscape we see today. To make significant change, you need like-minded people all working towards that direction, and to do that you need to be able to communicate adverse issues in time to act.
With respect to the anti-cheat, once software is on your computer at that privileged level, they can perform an Eclipse attack on you, and you won't be able to know its happening.
MITM is two dimensional involving a single path, Eclipse covers all possible path nodes to such information; and its quite possible to do this without having nation-state backing given the state of IT security at the lowest levels of abstraction.
