    Respecting others privacy isn’t a judgement against you. If it doesn’t involve you, it’s not your business, your own curiosity will have to go unsatisfied. That’s how you respect others’ privacy too, by staying out of it. If you need to know, you’ll know. And by asking someone to betray a secret puts them in an awkward place. Trying to learn others’ secrets is just all around rude. Be trustworthy, not a sneaky gossip.


  • What is the practical, measurable impact on my life of big corpo knowing my info? Seems like a lot of ass ache for without any measurable benefits beyond some principles stand big corpo doesn’t care about. It’s not like Big Corpo isn’t getting your info. Using Chrome and a VPN on the Google spy drone in your pocket isn’t hiding anything from Google. If Big Corpo wants your data, they will get it. They are better at getting it than we are at hiding it. The only solution is legislative, not individual nerds putting up knee high fences and feeling morally superior about it.


  • That’s exactly my point. Hating British people and hating the British empire isn’t the same, no one is doing that. Don’t take it personally, think critically, not defensively based on what invisible lines you happen to be born between. If you want the world to improve, hate imperialism, no matter where you are from.

    That’s like someone from Germany being sad that hatred for the Nazi Party is thrown around so casually. Evil things from the past are evil. Hating them is the mark of morality. Them happening in the place you were born, but hundreds of years ago doesn’t mean you should take it personally. No one hates you for the actions of the Empire.
