>Big Governments are other threat that, IMO, it's much harder to fight against it.

Whenever people complain about Big Government I like to remind them that any attempt at regulating industries like Big Tech is decried by the owner class as "Big Government", which is often parroted by conservatives, libertarians, and other pro-business groups.

So is it Big Government when it protects the interests of Big Industry to the detriment of its country's people, or Big Government when it regulates it to protect the interests of the people? They can't both be the same thing, and I would argue what most people call "Big Government" is what they've been told to call it, namely the regulation of corporate interests. Nobody ever calls the consistent erosion of people's individual rights "Big Government".

They are both the same, because your neighbor contributes to mass surveillance. I don't feel that was worth highlighting at all because it's wrong.

I really wish politics could be about discussing policy, rather than this endless football-tier obsession with "teams". The worst part about American politics (Anglosphere politics in general) is that every single political discussion devolves into shouting and insults, because people have made their political group their identity. It's harrowing, and I don't know how we can change this.

What a wonderfully insightful comment, as is to be expect of modern HackerNews. I'm sure your understanding of "the left" is very well researched and thorough.
