I remember when I first opened Tor years ago wanting to checkout what was all the fuzz about the "deep web", and I opened that deepweb wikipedia (I'm not an initiated, I don't remember its name) and read an article about how we were living in the #Matrix and the corporations were the machines we would need to fight against. For some time, that just sounded as #Marxist propaganda to me.
However, I eventually started perceiving that every large institution develops its own mechanism of self-protection that becomes embodied by the people who work there. Reaching a point where they might sacrifice their own lives as an offering for it. Reaching a point where they might sacrifice *others'* lives as an offering for it.
The existence of institutions is not the problem. They are mostly created by well-intentioned people, but there's a bad seed that the founder might (and often will) plant there: "it needs to grow". That in itself might be responsible for governments, corporations, and even churches to become the human-fed machines we struggle against.

quoting nevent1q…ddlzTASS published an article today titled "Defending Russia from Aerial Threats", on the same day that air defense systems shot down a drone over a residential building, causing damage and killing a child.
It is clear that people were told the "enemy" is to blame, but I have no doubt that articles in TASS will not succeed in increasing the popularity of the air defense forces. Soon, everyone will hate these guys.
The government (not just Russian) thinks a child's life is worth less than a half-empty oil tank or old military equipment. It won't protect you; it only protects itself.
