Why There Are No Dissidents Now?

Perhaps this video is a pointer as to why there are less and less people prepared to act against the powers that be.The title is quite misleading, certainly Glen Greenwald is a Snowden journalist with a book to promote, but his points towards the end about the over arching surveillance in the world holds true. In the UK with more cameras per head of population than anywhere else in the world,what happens to all that information? Then there is the mobile telephone tracking, the checking of social media by prospective employers, the A.N.P.R., (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) giving owner, address,time, date, place, photos of where seen, just to realise where EVERYBODY visits.

How much conversation takes place in the home let alone beyond this environment. Slowly the art of conversation and discussion is being lost. All these things are pleasurable but they are beginning to dominate life and so the influence of the state insinuates with little or no resistance or even recognition in a great many cases..

In its own way, it is little different to the TERROR perpetrated upon citizens across the world with what is left of the dictators of the world. Fewer now the Regime Changes have been started and left unfinished by the United States, United Kingdom, France et al. At least that is an obvious failure with its own refugee problems. This total emaciating of all sense of independent action, especially in the UK and to a lesser extent in France, due to some unions, is just the tip of the iceberg.
