“We are only now coming to understand just how much power the federal government has to peer into our personal lives. This ‘architecture of oppression’ might not seem terribly threatening to those of us sitting comfortably in suburbia watching Netflix original series. But as the State changes the definition of a domestic terrorist by shades, and as it ratchets up the levels of taxation, regulation, and control by degrees, more and more people will come to be thought of as enemies of that apparatus. As the State becomes more powerful and more controlling, more people will have more and more things to hide.”
