Absolutely. Totally agree. It's disgusting. Unfortunately in Sweden, practically everybody is convinced that the state is good, and therefore it doesn't matter that they collect finger prints... Anyone who speaks up against it is essentially a tinfoil hat. I'd be a lone voice if I took up this cause! Not even the whole circus around Assange, or the torture flights to the USA made people wake up and realise that the state is in fact not good ANYMORE. In fact it's getting more evil every day. I think that if the Russian state started collecting fingerprints for passport every single person in the country would flip out, because they (sensibly) don't trust the state.
UK essentially has no political activism worth mentioning. But I've donated to Big brother watch and if they organise a demo, I'll go.
I stayed for a while outside the Ecuadorian embassy in support of Assange a few weekends ago as I was in the area.
The UK is essentially a poltically dead country though, and has been since the 1970s. Thatcher killed all political awareness in the UK.
But the topic here is Russia, and I'm just saying I won't get over it, if Russia extradites Snowden.
