Unfortunately, most people won't care until it is too late. Most people just want to satisfy their daily dose of WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or whatever instant gratification there is. They don't see the long term loss of freedom. It is the [https://web.archive.org/web/20251024131043/https://www.tastyfish.cz/lrs/slowly_boiling_the_frog.html boiling frog effect] metaphor. Or, as Louis Rossman calls it, death by a thousand cuts.

== How to insult Google's user interface designers ==
By adding this to your website's CSS:
<pre>
html, body { overscroll-behavior: contain; }
</pre>
This will insult the lack of intelligence of whoever thought [[Google_Chrome#Mandatory_pull-to-refresh|making pull-to-refresh mandatory in Chrome]] was a brilliant idea.

If you think [people in positions of authority] can't do something, you are wrong; unless it is directly violating a law of physics, they can do it. For example you may think "haha they can't start selling air, people would revolt", "hahaaa, they can't make people believe 1 + 1 equals 2000, it's too obvious of a lie" or "hahaaa they can't lie about history when there is a ton of direct evidence for the contrary freely accessible on the Internet, they can't censor something that's all over the Internet and in billions of books" -- yes, they can do all of this.
[...]
You think "hahaha, if we create this super encrypted/decentralized computer network, we can simply communicate and they can do nothing about it, BAZINGA" -- well, no you can't. How can they stop this? '''They will simply ban computers''' you idiot, in fact you have only given them the reason to.
You say "hahaha but I can have this calculator in my basement hidden" -- well, how many people will participate in your network if revealing such participation is punished not only by death sentence, but death sentence for you whole family; if even people who know about you participating in the network and not reporting you face the same punishment (already the case in some pseudocommunist countries)?
If in addition people have no free time, if they don't have electricity at home, no will to live and there are also government signal jammers everywhere just in case? Enjoy your guerrilla resistance network with three people armed with calculators.
You say "bbbb...but that cant happen ppl would revolt" -- NO. Have you seen chicken at chicken farm revolt? (Except in that one movie lol). "BBBb...BUT... people are not chicken". NO. People are literally physically chicken (to a stupid argument you get stupid counterargument).
[...]
Admit it, whatever they do you will conform even if you're angry about it because not conforming would cause you discomfort and you like comfort, so here you have it: they can do whatever they want. You want war? Probably not, but if they start it, you will go to war, you will help them make weapons, you will kill. You want to watch ads? Probably not, but if they put them up you will watch them. You want to get up every day at 5 AM and spend your day doing something that has no meaning and which you hate doing? Maybe, but it doesn't even matter if you want, you will do it despite wanting or not.

"They will simply ban computers" - and if not, they will [[Anti-privacy_legislation|backdoor everything]]. Looks like the "tinfoil hat" people weren't so crazy after all.

The UK government is actually saying to X:
''"Hey, don't do that, you're gonna make us look bad!"''
Well, ____ you!
____ you!
Oh, I'll make you look bad!
Oh, you ____ with me, and then I make you look bad,
by doing what you told me to do?
Oh, boohoo!
Oh, oh, what a tragedy!
I feel so bad for the poor Starmer UK government!
Aww, I made you look bad on the Internet
by doing exactly what you told me to do?
And it had exactly the response
that I told you it would have?
Oh, how sudden, couldn't see this coming.
Oh, that's hoooorrible!
I feel so baaaaaaaaaaaaad!
Except I ____ing '''don't.'''
