“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.” ― Edward Snowden
This is a bad analogy. It is actually more like saying that you don't care about free speech when all you have to say is stuff that the powers that be are happy for you to say.
we watched the video and agreed that it was a serious problem. And then we all clicked on the next video, and the bright colours and happy feelings came back, and we continued to do absolutely nothing about what was coming
it's election month here and there is a party running on a platform of addressing this problem, among other things. it's core to their ideology. I can do something about it if I prioritise it over other societal change.
The VPN joke at 3:43 was perfect, the idea of this whole dramatic artistic intro about privacy being there only to transition into a VPN ad is honestly so funny
Because it's subverting expectations : The first diagetic ad i saw was kinda cool imo , i was used to ad breaks and all and seeing an ad that was introduced by the script was genuinely intresting , However right now 3-4 years since , it became really tired as a thing , And honestly ads are possibly the most pathetic form of art , And it's deeply sad it's also the most seen form of art , An art aimed at taking desire and carrying it whenever

@@clickpause8732 While I respect your desire to not prop up bad actors. If an allegation as terrible as the one levied here is not proven, then it does no one a service to suggest that it is fact. Innocent until PROVEN guilty is a serious social and legal principle. Try and put yourself into the shoes of someone accused and charged of something they actually didn't do. This would be bad in the same way that the action allegedly done by the creator here would be. Encouragement, not criticism. May the truth always win
@@Joelsonfarrn I have to agree with you there, but also in this case it's clear that the due process has failed the people involved. A cursory glance over Pieke's Wikipedia article shows that the systems put into place to protect people like her or to determine guilt or innocence have actively resisted and rebutted her case at every turn, especially when compounded with the Netherlands' suspiciously low rape conviction rate. By putting myself into exurb1a's shoes, I can't find a reason myself why he chose to go against her allegations in such a roundabout way other than to avoid having to make a public statement against her. His actions, personally, reek to high heaven, and I can't in good conscience support a man who skirts around accusations in this manner. That said, I think your stance is a perfectly fair one to hold.
Let's face it though, powerful people can buy social engineering that warps the minds of the population into being ineffective at rebellion an effective at counter rebellion.. they already do.. all depends on the flavour of the tech involved.. if it comes with psychologically fortifying ingenuity that little exploit won't work either.

Can't believe he doesn't mention the author of The Light of Other Days - Stephen Baxter. One of the greatest Science Fiction authors of his generation.
"Tinagrad" is such a good name. I almost certain it holds meaning, and the author put thought into it. Because, in Russian, and I assume in some other languages, the word "TAINA" means secret, or mystery. And the suffix "GRAD" literally means town. So, it is literally becomes "The Town of Secrets".
Taina and grad mean secret and town in Bulgarian. The author has put other Bulgarian words or references in his videos. Also at one point in the video he said "обичам те България" which means, I love you, Bulgaria. So I think he has either lived there as a child, his parents or one of his parents are Bulgarian or he has visited or lived there at some point in his life.
I've realised something Ironic while reading your comment: "Siri"' is the Swahili word for "Secret" in east Africa where I'm from. Siri is only going to get better at knowing our secrets as technology improves.
@✧ Shroomi ✧ The idiom means that often positive intent causes harm. The modification carries that idea through to technology (which really is just a subset of "intent" hence the smart word play). The issue is the underlying truth that intent is heavily influenced by subjectivity so what I think is best (for me) generally ends up not the best (for everyone else).
It's a testament to the genius of exurb1a that I once I watched everything he's done, I found myself getting pissed off that he doesn't release content daily...as though he's responsible for delivering hilarious, perspicuous, brilliant material to me on a daily basis.
I would argue that the true genius is being able to watch a video of his every day for years and still be struck by its novelty every day as if it was the first time
There’s a few. SoUncivilised is a Star Wars channel that does that. Dream, the Minecraft UA-camr also does that. Barely Sociable sort of also. Some of the best channels are quality over quantity. It’s very rare you get both quality and quantity. Solving the Money Problem might be one (I’m a fan). The guy does daily videos that are all great.
The wormhold story is one I love! The first time I encountered that thought, of what being able to look outside of time would really be used for, I couldn't help but want a 'hyperspace window.' To now have a piece of terminology, sousveillance, that can be attached to that concept and a book I can just give other people... so thank you. It isn't something that I fear at all after a decade of thought, for a lot of the pain we do to ourselves and each other comes from a fear that we need secrets. That we can't be trusted to behave with social grace after we learn what all other humans are like....
Exurb1a lies to CERN Scientist going by "Pie" about being a fellow CERN Scientist. He uses her as a psychological test subject without full consent in "experiment A" which is about "organic synchronicity", similar to baader meinhoff/frequency illusion. He artificially induces it to her and drives her to deep depression, then near suicide. In the psych ward she was unable to contribute to police investigation and things got buried. CERN confirmed Exurb1a "Alex" was never an employee, also his reddit fan club also banned him over these events

How many footballers, how many politicians, how many in the past generations who got away with it? People are shitty. They always have been. In a just would, every single one of them would be taken to court. And I suppose in a sousveillance world (if that is the proper term) -- they would. And the court cases would be brief. At the end of the day - get taken to court, pay the price for being a shitty person, and stop being a shitty person. It's not a perfect answer, but it's the answer we've got.
@@tomc.5704 I agree with you. Ideally, people should be able to serve the sentence for their crimes and then move on from there. The sad thing, however, is that Exurb1a hasn’t faced legal consequence for his actions against Pieke. The Dutch government is notorious for its low rape conviction rate, and Pieke’s case was held back at every turn. “In December 2020, Roelofs and her lawyers sent a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights after the Dutch prosecution office recognised she was indeed sexually abused by the suspect, but the prosecutor intended not to prosecute him.” A quote from her Wikipedia article. And so I post these comments, because exurb1a hasn’t yet been held accountable, and this is the only means I have of ensuring an unrepentant criminal doesn’t walk away completely scot free.
I like this idea of everyone knowing everything about everyone else, the idea of shame and fear will disappear. If everyone could watch, everyone else’s embarrassing moments as well. Like the story you told at the start of the video that first city honestly would be a dream for someone like me. The idea that everyone is watching everyone, eliminates embarrassment

Now that you're in this clusterfuck of a situation already, better make the most of it. We're all in this together, only few make it out in time. There's only two ways of freeing yourself from a capitalist society: you either learn to want nothing and be happy (become a bum or a buddhist) or you learn a set of skills that you allow to be exploited by a company or you learn a slightly broader skill set so you can start exploiting the system yourself. Now that you've chosen the employee-path: make sure you get paid (counter-exploit by learning a high-demand skill and negotiation), maybe even threaten switching jobs and leverage your labour value to increase personal income, do this every 2 years. You hate this job already so don't feel bad pressuring a company, they try to exploit you and society just as much by underpaying and harvesting data. Preferably negotiate equity in the company and try to stick around for long enough to participate in a liquidation event (a company making a successful exit). If participating in a liquidation event is not an option, start a business yourself (benefit: you can work on solving a problem you actually care about) and work until you have solid cashflow to sustain your lifestyle or raise venture capital and work towards a liquidation event (ironically, by raising investment, you'll fall back into exploitative behavior again, stress will rise as you have to satisfy investor demands, meet KPIs and achieve unrealistic growth targets through blitzscaling). Until the liquidation event, invest a significant portion of your personal income into index funds (which, ironically, perpetuates the system, but hey) and privacy oriented crypto-currencies. Consistent monthly investing in the markets is the only guaranteed way of financial freedom if done long enough (like 30 years), given you don't manage to participate in a liquidation event AND the world economy doesn't completely collapse (small chance on the short term). I think we still have a solid century to go with our current exploitative capitalist system before we reach a point of societal and economic collapse, so there's time to wrestle yourself out of this system. After liquidation event of said company, liquidate all your stock options, buy an earth ship on high fertile ground, have some farmland, grow some crops, get some cows and sheep and preferably a dog. Make sure you're somewhere remote, far away from the big world powers. Make sure to diversify your assets in gold and privacy-cryptocurrencies. We need to have physical gold to safeguard our value in case our digital systems fail. Cryptocurrencies are useful if we still have operating internet and we need to transfer money across borders without going through a centralized institutions (so guaranteeing privacy) and will still allow us to trade. Settle down, buckle up, and watch the civilized world's great implosion from a safe distance. Food systems will collapse, extreme weather events will increase, climate refugee crises will cause tensions to increase, and a great war will be fought, but you will not have to give two shits about it and just live your life with your farm animals sipping tequila sunrise and reading silly comments on obscure youtube videos.
"A kraken so saturated in secrets that it considers the currents of the human heart and mind no less manipulable that the diverting of a stream or tilling of a field". I mean that is basically what Skinner and behavioral psychology in general opened the door to and it is already being enforced by most of our countries' leaders.
I'm reading this book called The Cybernetic Hypothesis by Tiqqun which expounds on this idea exactly. It's really interesting, though I have to take time with it cuz it's tough hahaha.

From hiding a surprise from a beloved to just experimenting without being judged, from the peaceful solace to the secrets of passage rites. From exposing yourself to unpopular ideas to having sexy time - even if its by myself. Privacy is a core human need.
Interesting to think of the possible results a secret-less society could provide, though. If all information was accessible by everyone, equally - It's easy to imagine as a hell for us, but maybe that's a result of our own flaws. I think that secrets could very well be a necessary sacrifice to utopia. A world where lying, adultery, and hypocrisy are nigh impossible, if not outright illogical and contradictory? I feel that if the possibility of "getting away with it" was cast away completely, we would be better people. Of course, there are downsides, as well, as privacy is necessary for the moralities of many, like modesty, for instance.
Big leaps of mankind: - Hot wood - weird mushroom? - string - triangles - defacating in exactly the right place - word + other word = funny! Wait a second that sounds like a good idea
I think the weirdest thing about all this data collection is that. no human actually knows how it works. Sure, all the tech giants wrote neural network algorithms to maximize profits, but no human assigns variables. No human can pull up some source code and understand how to fix it. We've made many digital krakens, and at this point they're fighting between themselves. If we end up with a winner, one algorithm analyzing all types of user data, then the water will certianly be cursed.
That's by far the scariest part, even if they were forced to make these things open source to balance out the information inequality, they simply couldn't. These krakens are entirely dependent on the waters they reside in.
There is the secret to the success and renewal of complete privacy to an effect. Most of the tech giants will fight each other so hard that governments who know that their members are being spies upon will shut them down. Conflict defeats stagnation, the strong do not remain strong forever. Think about this a moment.

Just earlier today I was going through some old baby photos of myself and I had this strange feeling about it, like semi-nostalgia was there but there was something else.

These old paper squares in a book gave me a view of a time I do not remember, a view humans would never see until modern history. And those were old physical photos, as time goes on the convenience of recording every step of one's life becomes greater and greater. I guess it's sort of the same thing with surveillance, it's just getting more and more and more prevalent to the point where my generation sees it as the default. I don't even know if I'm scared or outraged or anything, I think I'm just awestruck. What a house we have made for ourselves.

The exurb video I watched before this: "The slippery slope fallacy" This video: " 'if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear' ok, sounds great, now get rid of your bathroom door"
the slippery slope is when you assume the justification will go beyond reason. It's not the slippery slope fallacy when the exact same reasons still apply. Secondly that's not even the point of it, it's to point out that you still want privacy.
There is a house in my city featured in a major magazine that has toilet and glass-walled shower in the living room that was recently purchased. Remarkable thing, and it was noted- was that the toilet is about six feet away from the shower
I feel like the notion of the "slippery slope fallacy" is the perfect way to make idiots out themselves. If you're incapable of using logic to predict an outcome then all logical thinking seems like crazy talk.
@@All4Tanuki the slippery slope is a fallacy. It's just that many things are often misidentified as a slippery slope. The fallacy is when you assume one single chain of events each of which take it a bit/alot further and require new reasons to be jutistifed or do not have sufficient historical backing. It'd be a fallacy if, for example, I said "They're trying to get Christianity out of schools. Next they'll get it out of politics, out of our homes, they'll come after your bibles, they'll make it a crime to believe the truth God is real. We can all see it. We must defend our school's right to be Christian or they'll be coming for us directly next.

Following a collaboration with Exurb1a, a British youtuber, Roelofs was hospitalised in November 2016 for acute stress disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, depression and suicidal ideation. During her 7-month hospitalisation, Roelofs began speaking out against her former work partner who she stated used Reddit to smear her name. Roelofs said the UA-camr had assaulted and raped her in October 2016, had started threatening her between November-December 2016, and subsequently "blackmailed" her to leave the hospital to talk to him while she was drugged with prescribed medication, and that he raped her while she was unable to fight him. One of the prescribed medications she had been taking was Xanax, a benzodiazepine and well-known date rape drug.
I freaking LOVE your work! You can masterfully twist a web together and deliver it in a way that I haven't seen before. Your videos make me think and that is rare these days. There is so much mindless stuff out there that it is refreshing to watch something that has a deeper meaning. Thank you for making these videos!
@@shlak I looked it up and he hasn't been charged with anything. Sure there is a story about something that may or may not have happened. But until he is brought to justice if he did do something wrong, it is all speculation and hearsay. I enjoy his videos and message about where society is and could be headed. I stay away from drama and politics on purpose. Because nothing is as it seems. And one can very easily find themselves down a rabbit hole of untruths and not be able to claw themselves back to reality. I'm absolutely not against a victim of any crime speaking out, but it needs to be backed up with an investigation of the truth. And until that happens it is just drama and speculation.
@@taborturtle He wrote about what he has done, and in the netherlands the only reason he has not been arrested is because of police misconduct. There is also an exurb1a confession video that is hard to find and I am sure the link would get this post deleted, but if you can find it, it is very informative.

@@mklbz4877 No that wasn't the point but I see there's an issue with how my message came across. I won't make a comment directly bacause my message doesn't have anything to do with the video but with the love and admiration people have for this youtuber. Sorry if you felt attacked. I'm not saying it's wrong to enjoy the video but praising the man behind it just feels plain wrong and what I can only assume is people not being even aware of the situation. What they make of it isn't up to me or anyone else, I just want people to know who they are watching.
God I will say, I love your stories! And all they represent! I've followed you for a very long time and it's funny whenever there's something Im working on, if something is bothering me or if Im attempting to work out some solutions I always find inspiration after listening to a story or 2 that you've posted! Thanx and keep up the good work!

Because it's subverting expectations :
The first diagetic ad i saw was kinda cool imo , i was used to ad breaks and all and seeing an ad that was introduced by the script was genuinely intresting ,
However right now 3-4 years since , it became really tired as a thing ,
And honestly ads are possibly the most pathetic form of art ,
And it's deeply sad it's also the most seen form of art ,

@@clickpause8732 While I respect your desire to not prop up bad actors. If an allegation as terrible as the one levied here is not proven, then it does no one a service to suggest that it is fact. Innocent until PROVEN guilty is a serious social and legal principle. Try and put yourself into the shoes of someone accused and charged of something they actually didn't do. This would be bad in the same way that the action allegedly done by the creator here would be. Encouragement, not criticism. May the truth always win
@@Joelsonfarrn I have to agree with you there, but also in this case it's clear that the due process has failed the people involved. A cursory glance over Pieke's Wikipedia article shows that the systems put into place to protect people like her or to determine guilt or innocence have actively resisted and rebutted her case at every turn, especially when compounded with the Netherlands' suspiciously low rape conviction rate.
By putting myself into exurb1a's shoes, I can't find a reason myself why he chose to go against her allegations in such a roundabout way other than to avoid having to make a public statement against her. His actions, personally, reek to high heaven, and I can't in good conscience support a man who skirts around accusations in this manner. That said, I think your stance is a perfectly fair one to hold.

"Tinagrad" is such a good name. I almost certain it holds meaning, and the author put thought into it. Because, in Russian, and I assume in some other languages, the word "TAINA" means secret, or mystery. And the suffix "GRAD" literally means town. So, it is literally becomes "The Town of Secrets".
It would mean something along the lines of Mysteryshire
Taina and grad mean secret and town in Bulgarian. The author has put other Bulgarian words or references in his videos. Also at one point in the video he said "обичам те България" which means, I love you, Bulgaria. So I think he has either lived there as a child, his parents or one of his parents are Bulgarian or he has visited or lived there at some point in his life.

@@tomc.5704 I agree with you. Ideally, people should be able to serve the sentence for their crimes and then move on from there. The sad thing, however, is that Exurb1a hasn’t faced legal consequence for his actions against Pieke. The Dutch government is notorious for its low rape conviction rate, and Pieke’s case was held back at every turn.
“In December 2020, Roelofs and her lawyers sent a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights after the Dutch prosecution office recognised she was indeed sexually abused by the suspect, but the prosecutor intended not to prosecute him.”
A quote from her Wikipedia article.
And so I post these comments, because exurb1a hasn’t yet been held accountable, and this is the only means I have of ensuring an unrepentant criminal doesn’t walk away completely scot free.
I like this idea of everyone knowing everything about everyone else, the idea of shame and fear will disappear. If everyone could watch, everyone else’s embarrassing moments as well. Like the story you told at the start of the video that first city honestly would be a dream for someone like me. The idea that everyone is watching everyone, eliminates embarrassment
By the very virtue of the fact that I watched this, the Kraken knows that I have seen it. But instead of lashing out at me, it will simply lead me to places where it can learn more secret thoughts I have about it.

An alternative that is made with the humans in mind instead of pure profit.
A system based on what people are willing to give for the value they perceive to get and in turn giving that value back to it's creators at least partially.
If you're up for this, hit me up.
I have been starting to learn coding (python) but don't have this as my core value to give to the world, ethics, morality, science, the willingness to decrease unnecessary suffering and to make people's perceived reality as positive as can be or have a positive impact either way.
A way to satisfy the needs of the soul to care for other souls.
The dream that maybe one day this will be how civilization operates.
Giving to eachother selflessly in order to raise the overal experience of living.

Now that you're in this clusterfuck of a situation already, better make the most of it. We're all in this together, only few make it out in time. There's only two ways of freeing yourself from a capitalist society: you either learn to want nothing and be happy (become a bum or a buddhist) or you learn a set of skills that you allow to be exploited by a company or you learn a slightly broader skill set so you can start exploiting the system yourself.
Now that you've chosen the employee-path: make sure you get paid (counter-exploit by learning a high-demand skill and negotiation), maybe even threaten switching jobs and leverage your labour value to increase personal income, do this every 2 years. You hate this job already so don't feel bad pressuring a company, they try to exploit you and society just as much by underpaying and harvesting data. Preferably negotiate equity in the company and try to stick around for long enough to participate in a liquidation event (a company making a successful exit).
If participating in a liquidation event is not an option, start a business yourself (benefit: you can work on solving a problem you actually care about) and work until you have solid cashflow to sustain your lifestyle or raise venture capital and work towards a liquidation event (ironically, by raising investment, you'll fall back into exploitative behavior again, stress will rise as you have to satisfy investor demands, meet KPIs and achieve unrealistic growth targets through blitzscaling).
Until the liquidation event, invest a significant portion of your personal income into index funds (which, ironically, perpetuates the system, but hey) and privacy oriented crypto-currencies. Consistent monthly investing in the markets is the only guaranteed way of financial freedom if done long enough (like 30 years), given you don't manage to participate in a liquidation event AND the world economy doesn't completely collapse (small chance on the short term). I think we still have a solid century to go with our current exploitative capitalist system before we reach a point of societal and economic collapse, so there's time to wrestle yourself out of this system.
After liquidation event of said company, liquidate all your stock options, buy an earth ship on high fertile ground, have some farmland, grow some crops, get some cows and sheep and preferably a dog. Make sure you're somewhere remote, far away from the big world powers. Make sure to diversify your assets in gold and privacy-cryptocurrencies. We need to have physical gold to safeguard our value in case our digital systems fail. Cryptocurrencies are useful if we still have operating internet and we need to transfer money across borders without going through a centralized institutions (so guaranteeing privacy) and will still allow us to trade.
Settle down, buckle up, and watch the civilized world's great implosion from a safe distance. Food systems will collapse, extreme weather events will increase, climate refugee crises will cause tensions to increase, and a great war will be fought, but you will not have to give two shits about it and just live your life with your farm animals sipping tequila sunrise and reading silly comments on obscure youtube videos.
At the end of the day nobody truly leaves the internet.
"A kraken so saturated in secrets that it considers the currents of the human heart and mind no less manipulable that the diverting of a stream or tilling of a field". I mean that is basically what Skinner and behavioral psychology in general opened the door to and it is already being enforced by most of our countries' leaders.
I'm reading this book called The Cybernetic Hypothesis by Tiqqun which expounds on this idea exactly. It's really interesting, though I have to take time with it cuz it's tough hahaha.
i think in this case kraken is a metaphor for an algorithm for automatic manipulation of emotions or thought patterns (trough targeted content recommendations is my theory)

From hiding a surprise from a beloved to just experimenting without being judged, from the peaceful solace to the secrets of passage rites. From exposing yourself to unpopular ideas to having sexy time - even if its by myself. Privacy is a core human need.
Interesting to think of the possible results a secret-less society could provide, though. If all information was accessible by everyone, equally - It's easy to imagine as a hell for us, but maybe that's a result of our own flaws. I think that secrets could very well be a necessary sacrifice to utopia. A world where lying, adultery, and hypocrisy are nigh impossible, if not outright illogical and contradictory? I feel that if the possibility of "getting away with it" was cast away completely, we would be better people. Of course, there are downsides, as well, as privacy is necessary for the moralities of many, like modesty, for instance.

I love the subtle style of images in storytelling, it's simplistic yet beautiful.
I think the weirdest thing about all this data collection is that. no human actually knows how it works. Sure, all the tech giants wrote neural network algorithms to maximize profits, but no human assigns variables. No human can pull up some source code and understand how to fix it. We've made many digital krakens, and at this point they're fighting between themselves. If we end up with a winner, one algorithm analyzing all types of user data, then the water will certianly be cursed.
That's by far the scariest part, even if they were forced to make these things open source to balance out the information inequality, they simply couldn't. These krakens are entirely dependent on the waters they reside in.
Coughs* Meta (Facebook Inc.) & Google coughs*
It's also messed up that people who set up the algorithm knew that it will affect them as well
@@certifiedpossum1638 It's affecting them in a positive way. The browser now works way better than 20 years ago.
There is the secret to the success and renewal of complete privacy to an effect. Most of the tech giants will fight each other so hard that governments who know that their members are being spies upon will shut them down. Conflict defeats stagnation, the strong do not remain strong forever. Think about this a moment.

You must know I'm following your work for quite a while and I can see through your videos literally your cycles of thinking and evolving. This video is a masterpiece with valid points. The hard truth is, you shared it on a platform owned by Google and will likely monetize it through CPMs. This in return helps you sustain yourself, your family, and more videos like this. It's a vicious cycle but also thr most apprehensive one we've thought of. As a digital marketer now, i never dreamt to be one. While I apply certain morals to how I do my work, and recently finished writing about 120 pages thesis I can't deny love it or hate it we benefit from this infrastructure. I think the deepest question we get to is are people going to have corrupt thoughts by nature if we lived without walls, or not. That's whole nature versus nurture topic.

Just earlier today I was going through some old baby photos of myself and I had this strange feeling about it, like semi-nostalgia was there but there was something else. After watching this video I think it was the feeling that this is some crazy shit we're living in. These old paper squares in a book gave me a view of a time I do not remember, a view humans would never see until modern history. And those were old physical photos, as time goes on the convenience of recording every step of one's life becomes greater and greater. I guess it's sort of the same thing with surveillance, it's just getting more and more and more prevalent to the point where my generation sees it as the default. I don't even know if I'm scared or outraged or anything, I think I'm just awestruck. What a house we have made for ourselves.
Realizing people have memories of me that I don’t have is scary

The exurb video I watched before this: "The slippery slope fallacy"
This video: " 'if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear' ok, sounds great, now get rid of your bathroom door"
the slippery slope is when you assume the justification will go beyond reason. It's not the slippery slope fallacy when the exact same reasons still apply. Secondly that's not even the point of it, it's to point out that you still want privacy.
There is a house in my city featured in a major magazine that has toilet and glass-walled shower in the living room that was recently purchased. Remarkable thing, and it was noted- was that the toilet is about six feet away from the shower
If we've learned anything these past few decades, it's that the slippery slope fallacy is rarely a fallacy.
I feel like the notion of the "slippery slope fallacy" is the perfect way to make idiots out themselves. If you're incapable of using logic to predict an outcome then all logical thinking seems like crazy talk.
@@All4Tanuki the slippery slope is a fallacy. It's just that many things are often misidentified as a slippery slope. The fallacy is when you assume one single chain of events each of which take it a bit/alot further and require new reasons to be jutistifed or do not have sufficient historical backing. It'd be a fallacy if, for example, I said "They're trying to get Christianity out of schools. Next they'll get it out of politics, out of our homes, they'll come after your bibles, they'll make it a crime to believe the truth God is real. We can all see it. We must defend our school's right to be Christian or they'll be coming for us directly next.
