I am currently reading a book about Julian #Assange, his story and hia persecution.
The book is from Stefania Maurizi, an Italian journalist that was deeply involved with #wikileaks and its founder, and followed him through all the troubles.
His story is deeply uncanny, to say the least. This book rose many questions:
What is the real difference between an authoritarian state and a democratic one, if truth cannot be told and it’s silenced?
What is the real difference between an authoritarian state and a democratic one, if every citizen can be controlled and his communications intercepted?
What is the real difference between an authoritarian state and a democratic one, if those who are charged with the crime of telling the truth are tortured and murdered as in the most brutal dictatorship?
Are we really free?
Is there even the most remote possibility of being free?
Is it worthy to fight against this mass-surveillance machine? And is it even possible?
I honestly feel sick.
