Resistance decal by Douglas Balmain, 2021. (Product adheres to most camera lenses.)
The collective psychological implications of a society being constantly monitored and recorded are immense. Our research institutions have only just begun to study and understand the social and spiritual consequences of our surveillance state. But we don’t need to wait for the scientific professionals to deliver the bad news. Our own powers of intuition are more than sufficient to clearly feel and understand the negative impacts that surveillance has on our lives and freedoms.
“Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”
“Under observation, we act less free, which means we effectively are less free.”
― Edward Snowden

How do we combat a comprehensive and already-established system of surveillance? If it can be done at all, it starts with awareness and builds into a coherent and organized resistance. How does it end? Maybe badly, hopefully well. Final outcome aside, we must do what we can. We cannot remain willing to submit our time in this wondrous Universe to the subjugation of our digital cells.
I designed the 2.25" x 3.37" decal above to help plant the seeds of conscious awareness. If you want one, please order from my Etsy page. Proceeds will be reinvested into the resistance.
