    I don’t think that we do. We’ve (I’m talking about the MENA here btw, cant speak about the west due to me not knowing much abt its situation) been under a straight century of oppression and we can’t imagine a life other than this. At this stage we’re living in how Feudal Europe lived, with absolute monarchies and practically feudalism. It’s hard to imagine a life better for yourself when this is all you know. Even I, despite knowing my own conditions don’t really know what i want in life.

    Privacy is a key in unlocking collective consciousness. It reminds me of 1984 where you almost never see anyone criticize the Party, many people actually support it. But clearly to us, they live in horrible conditions. They don’t know, because they know nothing else.
