In my younger days, I used to hunt. Hunting deer is the hardest because they can almost disappear in front of you. Sometimes they will stand still and you can't see them until they move. In like manner, the hunter can disappear from them by remaining still. The best time and place to hunt is near where thy eat or drink. You have to find those places and times before hunting season. Knowing their habits by close observation is crucial. After years of hunting and observation one amasses enough knowledge about them that you can locate where and when they will be. I never got comfortable with killing them because they are so beautiful, and so predictable. I got to where I could easily find them, and then would just watch them from concealment and enjoy them.
Once you know what you're doing you can understand the surveillance state. It is addictive to be able to observe without detection. And you realize that they enjoy watching you, and they train to not succumb to the weakness of of becoming unwillingness to do you harm. They don't watch you and listen so they can kill you like a hunter does but to return "intelligence" to their master who will do more harm than killing you. Their handlers can surreptitiously torture you from afar and strip you of independence. The information gathers just enable their handlers. They don't even think about what will happen to you.
We need to be aware, and learn how to be unpredictable for our own protection.
