RE: Can "individuals" or "liberty" exist without privacy in a totally transparent society?

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

I'd disagree. I see that as proof that people are unwise, willing to virtue signal because they want to LOOK good and APPEAR noble. This is not a sign people are more accepting. It's not true acceptance if you're always tried in a court of public opinion.

Tim Poole did a trip to Sweden and spoke with a Psychologist there about the culture on immigration. He had to blur his face and hide his voice because, even though he's well within his professional domain to speak about this, even hinting that you might think the culture is regressive and suppressing ideas is enough to potentially lose your job. Even hinting that all the migrants are bad for the country is enough to get you destroyed.

If you don't murder people because you have a gun to your head you're not being a good person. You're just keeping the gun at bay. It's not the same. And that's in a clear cut moral situation. The migrant crisis? It's not immoral to think they're being dumb letting so many in. And yet so many people treat it as if it is.

I Agree, that was unwise. And politcorrectiveness is rather overvalued today. But maybe lack of transparency in modern society and too much privacy allowed this trouble come true.
