    You mean a general distrust against surveillance states is racist? I distrust governments in general. How is that racism?

    I follow up on the attacks on my networks and if it’s not the Chinese state then at least some Chinese citizens are heavily targeting us. But no less than Middle Eastern or American states.

    If you read the reports on how Chinese underground police stations were operating on European soil a healthy distrust would be in place.

    There’s no conspiracy theory. Large nations are en masse collecting our data. Everyone’s data. Whether you’re a hairdresser or a politician. Cambridge analytica showed us how that knowledge can be weaponized. So yeah, it bothers me that the tin foil hat card is drawn when I point out genuine risks to our society.
