For some reason a lot of parts of Europe seem to want to elect hard right borderline neo Nazis. Many cases, not even borderline.
God knows what the appeal is. Since the hard right and every particularly interested in protecting their own more interested in protecting their wallets. Not a concern that the vast majority of the populace are really going to empathise with.
Even parties to the left are pro this surveillance bullshit.
That's apparently a thing everywhere.
I'm in the US, and people here just seem to be okay with the TSA, NSA, CBP, etc all going through your stuff. I was complaining about BS stoplight cameras on a trip to another state, and my parents and cousin seemed to want more of them, despite them largely just harassing law-abiding citizens by shortening yellow-light durations and ticketing people for pulling too far forward... They also seem interested in facial recognition in stores and whatnot.
I don't get it. If they did an ounce of research, they'd see that these don't actually reduce crime or protect anyone, they just drive revenue and harass people. I mention "privacy" and they pull the "nothing to hide" argument.
People seem to want their privacy violated. I just don't get it.
