You'll notice over time I use the word "we" a lot and am often deliberately vague. Sometimes we is me, sometimes we is us, sometimes we is a future we aspire to. 😁
Just want to point out that the UK recently sentenced a group of climate activists to 10 years of prison for *having a Zoom meeting*, so we are definitely in an era where protest is rapidly being criminalized. Agree wholeheartedly that we need to be objecting loudly and not let people be quietly disappeared
I was going to write something similar in reply to, "We don’t criminalize hunger strikes. We don’t extradite whistleblowers to hostile regimes."
It feels like "We" (if that is a reference to WEOG governments) already do these things in many contexts.
The problem with Hackers, in the specific context that Jesse is using that term, is that we (I include myself culturally) don't trust/obey hierarchies. Institutions like the Dominion of Canada want people who will be blindly obedient to one hierarchy but not some subjectively defined "other". It is a cognitive dissonance I can't maintain.
