"The outward forms of democratic participation—voting, competing
political parties, judicial oversight and legislation—are meaningless
theater. No one who lives under constant surveillance, who is subject to
detention anywhere at any time, whose conversations, messages,
meetings, proclivities and habits are recorded, stored and analyzed, who
is powerless in the face of corporate exploitation, can be described as
free. The relationship between the state and the citizen who is watched
constantly is one of master and slave. And the shackles will not be
removed if Trump disappears."
