Cory‘s essays connects the wave of mass surveillance in the US with the destructive and greedy actions of (mostly) tech billionaires. An eye-opening read 😯

By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net

In the summer of 2013, two esoteric, technical, incredibly important texts were published within weeks of one another: the first is the Snowden leaks, which revealed a system of global, pervasive digital surveillance. 1/

That’s funny, because Nate Swanson, who used to be the point guy on Iran at the NSC but got fired because of Laura Loomer, warned of this in an article written four days before the war started. It was called “Why Iran Will Escalate.”

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast “socialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.
