I feel like the only defense is to edge towards a nanny state (live stream everything, gps trackers). There’s no good alternative if the law won’t help. Or you gotta break the law yourself.
All states are “nanny states”- just because you use a derogatory term for it doesn’t change the fundamental principle of what a society is, which is to care for its citizens, run by its citizens, for the benefit of all citizens.
The alternative to it is anarchy.
A “nanny state” (god i fucking hate that ridiculous right wing propaganda term) is the normal state of society.
Indeed, the term was only invented to demonize the Government doing its damn job in favor of a system that can only be described as Ayn Rand style Objectivism for the poor, and Comfortable Socialism for the rich.
Wow that’s a new take. Nanny state is definitely a liberal term for not wanting to be tracked by the government. Porn restrictions requiring identification. Police having cameras to track you. That’s all stuff the right want.
And yet they constantly screech about small gov and all the people mooching off the gov. There are two very different definitions of “nanny state” depending on who you ask. One much more violent than the other.
