I honestly (off the top of my head) can't think of a single point in history where those under the elite were not merely tools for the elite. It could possibly only offend me (mind you, a small amount) if it were being used to force the entirety of a population into a very specific mindset, eliminating those who try to dissent.
So sacrifice your individuality for the sole of purpose of knowing you're garbage compared to those above you? What a depressing lifestyle. I'm surprised you didn't drop out of school as education would be a wasted tool on an insect right?
Jamesie Wrote:Why don't I care? I honestly couldn't care less if someone is looking through my history and such. I have a Twitter, I have a Tumblr, I have a Facebook. I'm already a fairly "open' individual (bar my Facebook which is conventionally "closed"). You probably could learn more about me from just looking through my Twitter and Tumblr than you could through my internet history. Want to look through my history? It's a lot of Wikipedia, Tumblr, Twitter, online databases, and some porn interspersed. In this day and age, there is no such thing as privacy. If you so exist in any form on the internet (Reddit, Tumblr, Facebook, 4chan, Twitter, etc.), you have no privacy. Even without a backdoor, people can learn an immense amount about you.
It's not simply to your internet history. Pictures, videos, places you visit, your entire life could be entirely mapped out. You aren't old enough to actually appreciate privacy, but when I'm able to pull up your address, see the appraisal of your house, your debt, spending habits, and haven't dated in a decade, those are things people can use against you. In fact employers could be even more prejudice knowing those facts, and all your mistakes.

You learn from history, you learn to fix those mistakes, not give up on the task because they have already been made.
Jamesie Wrote:I don't have an explicit Constitutional right to privacy on the internet, sorry. The only right to privacy I have is one that is created out of, more or less, reading between the lines. And as far as I know, the Supreme Court hasn't upheld that the Constitution protects your "right to privacy" on the internet. Not to mention almost every (if not every) right in the Constitution has been qualified to the extent that you don't have complete freedom of speech (for example) anyways.
You're absolutely right. Do you know why? Because what you're referring to is actually in the Bill of rights. Oh did you forget that document considering your posts just scream dependency.
