Would you like to save this Lemmy post of a Tumblr post of a Reddit post that has been cross-posted on Lemmy to your Pinterest board?
we’re taking this post to Threads next.
More importantly. I’m gonna use these screenshots, that could easily have been modified, as the basis for my entire understanding of “privacy versus security”. Without reviewing any of the sources.
I believe Abraham Lincoln summed it up in that famous meme: “If it’s a quote on a picture on the internet, it’s gotta be true”
Lol. I don’t care whether a Nazi said the quote, but they make good arguments besides for that
Ah, but dont forget Ghandi’s famous quote.
“If a man posts a meme, surely his whole world view is encapsulated in it. For truly I say to you, no human can have depth beyond a joke that they make.”
But then again, maybe you and Ghandi are just making assumptions as shallow as the jokes you are mocking.
No but you see I, a stranger on the internet, agree with the message of the post. Therefore, it must be correct, as one is unable to lie on the internet lest their shins be removed by the cyberpolice.
Yes
We must go deeper.
Now post it on Facebook or Reddit
I just posted it in my Matrix server where I am the sole member because no one wants to use it yet.
Please let me drag my Chat rooms into the order I want pleaseeee
Great idea. That’ll be hilarious!
DRM free because the message matters!
I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgements and intentions are.
Gold!
This is such an apt way to put it. It makes it relatable for everyone, as I’m sure we’ve all experienced prejudice and the like.
This looks like it could be the source. It’s a reddit post by /u/starrywisdomofficial from almost exactly four years ago.
I’m not concerned with the people who keep their blinds closed. I’m concerned with the people who want to peek in windows.
There is no proof that Goebbels actually said this
More importantly, from that link, it predates him so he certainly did not come up with it.

People erroneously believe that the Nazis fled to Argentina. This is not true, they were given high-ranking jobs within America’s institutions.
Also in German institutions and the government. I mean what else are you gonna do? Put women in charge? /s

Tragedy what happened to this hero.
We have always been a shameful nation, even from the beginning.
“All men are created equal”
is slave state
But what happened to Snowden was a modern reaffirmation of our long held belief that this is a nation not only created by the shitters, but also maintained for the new and improved generation of shitters.
Goebbels is not the first person to say this. An earlier quote comes from Upton Sinclair in 1918:
Not merely was my own mail opened, but the mail of all my relatives and friends—people residing in places as far apart as California and Florida. I recall the bland smile of a government official to whom I complained about this matter: ‘If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.’
Let’s be clear: the right to privacy is not a fascist dogma.
Since Goebbels used the phrase “If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear”, then he’d be the one arguing against the right to privacy. The fascist dogma is eroding privacy in favour of surveillance - ostensibly to protect the people, but really just to control them.
I don’t know how I got that so backward when I wrote that. Thanks for correcting me.
If they really think there’s no reason to hide anything, why are they prosecuting Snowden for exposing something that was hidden?
Before having surveillance on people, they should have it on themselves.
Imagine how many corruption cases could have been prevented if the government was publicly monitored, with live streams from all offices, like a “big brother” show set up in the white house with live recordings of all calls and communications, so the voters can judge by themselves and monitor if the person they employed as the servant for the country is doing its job.
Privacy and security are synonymous, especially on the internet. Already independent of the fact that certain companies make money with your data for spurious purposes, too often without control and necessary protection.
Can someone post that one meme please
“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear” “Oh ok, I’ll just leak these secret government files online then!” terror
I fully agree with what he says, but it doesn’t seem to be an answer to her question.
Yes, our right to privacy is important, and he very clearly, and, not sure how say it, makes it relatable and easy to understand.
But, her question seems to have more to do with privacy at the cost of public safety.
I would say living in a free society isn’t without risks.
Living isn’t without risks.
And that’s why we must lock every one of our free citizens up. Y’know, for their protection.
The same oligarchs who lash out at you for wanting privacy are the same who are doing dark evil deeds that they absolutely want to keep private and a secret.
Oh Eddy…
I see too much useless reddit lately, please stop
Do you really believe this place to be substantially different?
It was at some point at least 🫠
I’m still on the no poop challenge
Please report it to the mods.
Just reported it to the Lemmy network administrators
