Are all 5 eyes members already surveillance states? (lemmy.ml)

It's funny, since they are fixated on framing China as a "mass surveillance" dystopia (and propagation of their so called social credit score) but there's hypocrisy since they implement similar tactics in the Anglosphere (though less obvious) while China is openly flexing that.

Snowden can't be called a conspiracy theorist as he showed evidence that the NSA is spying on everyone behind their backs (first, he managed to smuggle the intel out of his workplace which was difficult to execute) turning him into a whistleblower who's now living in Russia.

Look to Whitney webbs ideas.

Basically corruption in the 5 eyes, possibly by help of Robert maxwell and the Epstein class.

I wouldn't doubt if the 5 eyes was the force manipulating governments to help create a path to a global New world order of surveillance.
