I am preserving your and some other (more explicit) heavily-downvoted comments here that paint a disturbingly prophetic picture of where things are going to go. We know what's happening to our freedoms and what the future will look like. Too bad there's not enough of us to fight back.

I don’t think so. You can see glimmers of hope in people who refuse to buy into propaganda every day if you go looking for it. Just today, for example, Project Veritas successfully got a California high school teacher fired for literally trying to convert his students to communists.
There are lots of people doing horrible things with tech, and programmers willing to write the shit code that executes on those desires, but all of that comes from the desire for more money and power. It has always been the case that smart humans with drive chase money and power, but it often only takes a small handful of people to bring change to even the worst tyranny. Don’t lose hope for freedom, friend.
The rise of authoritarianism isn't a left vs right issue, unfortunately --- same with things like right to repair and such issues of ownership; there's no one big side that's for or against.
