People are so out of touch with how far the US has slipped into surveillance capitalism. You simply cannot get away with doing stuff like that today.


Not with that attitude.

There are tens of millions of people pirating software and media and blocking ads. There are not enough prisons to hold them all so the law is not enforceable at that scale.

Likewise there have always been and will always be effective non violent forms of resistance with sufficient systems of coordination and communication, because the public is always larger in number than the oppressors.


>Not with that attitude.

LOL. Love that. You got to have a better attitude if you want to fight the system my friend.


And yet, people do. Perhaps by slipping into some unsurveilled hidey hole, changing into a black hoodie, doing the crime, and running away before the police arrive


It's not so much about being caught as it is the consequences of if you do get caught. They're charging anyone for terrorism nowadays
