The only reason we hope people like this fail hard is so they can experience what it's like to be desperate for help and callously not saved by those so much more fortunate in life's game of chance & luck.
EDWARD SNOWDEN: "When you say 'I don't care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide,' that's no different than saying 'I don't care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say.'"
"Simply because you are following the law, doesn't mean that you'll be exempt from governmental interference in your private life."
@e_moneylatenite A woke manager denied my application for advancement solely based on my inclination of saying at the interview what "I" will accomplish instead of saying "we" this and "we" that.
@sley_Xk A friend that knows you're unemployed and tells you the $800 million he's making he intends to spend just on himself, and wants you to know that before the cash is deposited into his account, was never your friend.
@nbaschez Counter someone saying your name by saying their name at the start (and the end) of every sentence!

@BrandonJoe40008 The United States premeditates war years ahead.
A recent document reveals intent to solve their military recruitment shortage by bargaining debt forgiveness for people of fighting age.

"A society in which people can be monitored at all times is a society that breeds conformity, obedience, and submission, which is why every tyrant- from the most overt to the most subtle- craves that system.
Conversely, even more importantly, it is a realm of privacy - the ability to go somewhere where we can think, reason, interact, and speak without the judgemental eyes of others being cast upon us - in which creativity, exploration, and dissent exclusively reside.
And that is the reason why, when we allow a society to exist in which we are subject to constant monitoring, we allow the essence of human freedom to be severely crippled."
