Keep in mind the success of the entire agenda hinges on all people being required to carry, or be implanted with, a digital code which connects to the "Internet of Things," in other words an AI network which ties in everything about you from location to finances and health records, "social credit score," digital currency bank accounts. If the system says you can only spend your money withing a 5 mile radius of your house, you are confined to that radius. Outside of it your money shuts off. That's what they mean by wonderful "cashless society."



"The surveillance nation can be seen at its most terrifying in Xinjiang province, where the state is using inspection to grind the Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities into model citizens. The region is festooned with electronic eyes and ears — long “rifle-style” surveillance cameras that can zoom in on details, spherical rotating cameras that follow people as they walk down the street, infra-red cameras that work at night, Wi-Fi “sniffers” that detect the unique ID numbers of smartphones, bar codes at the entrance to every home and business that the police can scan to bring up a list of registered residents and employees, “anti-terrorism swords” that, according to Chin and Lin, can search smartphones for more than 53,000 identifiers of Islamic or political activity, and drones, equipped with facial recognition technology, that fly over isolated areas."

i don't think this presents much risk to ordinary citizens in it's current form. restricting freedom of speech *does*, but a surveillance society might well be good for it's citizens. i think we should let the experiments continue, because i think crime presents much bigger risks to citizens than a well-informed, well-armed police service.
but if a surveillance society were to be used to keep corrupt politicians in power, or prevent the fair distribution of wealth, then i would say it has become a problem that needs to get addressed and combatted by the citizenry and the politicians who still represent them rather than themselves or big money interests..
