#digital panopticon

What world are we living in that a kid is afraid to draw a character from a show he likes by the age of ten? On pen and paper no less? Kids in the 2020s have fully accepted the panopticon before they even hit puberty. It's insane. When I was ten I didn't even know what a copyright lawsuit was because I had no fucking reason to.

SURPRISE TO NO ONE: there is apparently no way to outright delete an account, after nearly an hour or digging through settings pages. I can "remove" my "account" but the associated pop up also tells me that this will in no way deactivate or delete my account- just remove me from accessing it. YES there is a difference, and NO I don't care about just removing my access to it.

Oh and in the same ballpark, there is no way to uninstall YouTube on my phone. I can "disable" it but not completely remove it from my phone.

I initially wanted both of these gone for normal reasons- I was tired of Facebook texting me updates to other people's activity, and I wanted to remove a distraction on my phone. Now I can see the Corporate claws digging into my shoulder, refusing to let go. This is no longer about convenience or healthy habits, this is about removing myself from the system. Corporate Fascism may brazenly rule over America, but I must first free myself before I can free others.

I missed my chance to say Happy Pride Month, but let me wish you all a wonderful Wrath Month! Don't let them turn us against each other, none of that LGBT without the T bullshit that Big Brother whispered to you in your dreams or whatever. PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE, AND ANYONE WHO TREATS PEOPLE AS LESSER TREMBLE IN FEAR OF US RISING UP AGAINST THEM! LET THEM CHUCKLE ATOP THEIR IVORY TOWERS, THEIR SNEERING GRINS SHALL GIVE WAY TO GASPS OF AGONY AS THEY SIP THEIR POISONED WINE! FOR IT IS WE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ENSLAVED TO BUILD THEIR TOWERS, BUT WE SHALL TEAR THEM DOWN TO RUBBLE! LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!
