Excellect! It&#x27;s the most cogent analysis that I&#x27;ve seen from him. Damn, what a fucking hero!<p>A few comments, however ...<p>&gt; ... we had to go to the dark side to be able to confront the threat posed by bad guys. We had to adopt their methods for ourselves.<p>He&#x27;s using &quot;we&quot; there  in reference to the government. But it can also be read with &quot;we&quot; as you and me, and &quot;bad guys&quot; as the government ;) But then, I claim a broad &quot;right to be left alone&quot;, one that doesn&#x27;t concede any state monopoly on power.<p>&gt; ... you can’t opt out of governmental mass surveillance that watches everybody in the world without regard to any suspicious criminal activity or any kind of wrong doing.<p>Well, sure you can ... as he goes on to explain ...<p>&gt; You would need to act like a spy to pursue a career in a field like journalism because you are always being watched.<p>... and ...<p>&gt; Instead of changing your phone to change your persona — divorcing your journalist phone from your personal phone — you can use the systems that are surrounding us all of the time to move between personas.<p>Right! Compartmentalization is for sure the way to go. There are numerous personas like Mirimir. Maybe I make it too distinctive. But I have no meatspace identity that goes on like Mirimir does. And Mirimir, ve has lots of vis personas. So hey, let&#x27;s create a tangled morass of overlapping personas ;)
