As a privileged European I wasn't even aware of EES. Completely agree with your comments. Unreal to aee the borders close again out of fear.
This surveillance state just feeds the fear. Once it works and we stop one person that truly has bad intentions, somehow the costs don't matter anymore.
The big question of course is what can be done to turn this tide of fear and nationalism. That starts with speaking up as you did. But still looking for the proper next steps.
I believe that the next steps reside in the building of power with solidarity and resistance movements at the community level. Historically groups like The Black Panthers, and others give us a blueprint how to build community support systems that illustrate that ‘we can take care us.’ Surveillance must be resisted as one step towards more peaceful societies.
