"Government" and "Democracy" are nothing but failure.
Building a digital version of them only screws you harder.
Any honest analysis of China's use of DigiGov against its
people and freedom will prove that, as will any honest look
at the history of world. "Alternative voices" that call and
advocate for more and bigger Govts, and now dgital versions
of same, are in reality pure evils seeking further and total
oppression of free human beings, the stamping out of human
freedom, computerized cataloging command control censorship
gatekeeping scoring arbitrary lightswitch shutdowns kills and
more, they are expressly against the attainment of and
living in an actual state of "liberation" and freedom. They are
propagandizing and lying to you about that fact.

It's shameful that a list that claims to be about "Liberation"
spends most of its time literally censoring freedom and
advocating for tyrannical regimes known as government
and deployment of computing paradigms to further prop it.

Clearly the ACM is not about computer science, but is
about supporting "trends" in power to controlling and
destroying human freedom, murdering free people
by guise through "building" more Govt "laws", entrenching
new global "Parliaments" of Kingly Tyranny, 24x365
"Intelligence" to pre-empt message against and crush freedom, etc,
calling it "Common Good" among other of power's apologist BS.

Wake up. Fight back.
