Great essay Ronke. But I suspect it is already too late to try to hide anything personal.

Just remember to not rat out your friends, when the state/or meta confronts you with a Winston moment. However, they will say you did anyway.

We are well into the age of the DARK ENLIGHTENMENT of Techno-Feudalism, where information no longer informs, it mostly exploits. When someone official asks you "how many fingers they are holding up", the only answer is "how many would you like it to be".
