The West was laughing and pointing at China. “Look at them surveilling their citizens! So cringe.” Meanwhile, people massively bought into surveillance capitalism, gobbled up all the bullshit about “if you have nothing to hide”, and look where it’s taking us. Yet people continue to buy Google products, swear that Malus won’t ever be evil and store their lives on iPhones and Macs, they vote for right-wing candidates who talk about building walls, surveilling the poor, foreign, and different, and don’t somehow fail to see how their countries are slowly becoming more China-like.
