Which is an INSANE amount of data to collect from you for the thing that you supposedly own. You shouldn't be so flippant about corporations using and selling your data and treating you like a commodity.

But those Hondas are still probably 4g capable, right? Because, at that point, it doesn't matter if you turn the annoying stuff "off". Honda is still spying on you, tracking you, and compiling a mountain of data based on your driving habits.
I can't imagine owning a car newer than like 2012. It must be a nightmare
Nope "desire path" is a perfectly grammatically correct way of saying "path of desire".
Yes, that's the meatspace hacking I'm talking about
Signal can only be hacked in meatspace. It's totally end to end encrypted.
Yes, definitely.
This is Farmer Maggot erasure and I won't have it
As the other commenter said, it depends on where you are. But I would say, overall yes. Nobody really wants to talk about how bad it is/shaping up to be. The people preparing for serious defensive action are all dark, and everybody else is somewhere between denial, anger, or depression.
There are a lot of spinning plates in the air, and they seem to be all falling down at around the same time. A small example of this is the 20,000 new ICE agents that the administration has order to be quickly hired. Back during the campaign, they had Trump loyalists at his rallies sign up to "work for the Nation". That's almost certainly the pool that they will be hiring undertrained, and armed Trump lackeys from. That means within the next 2.5 months, Proud Boys, Boogooloo Boys, Patriot Prayer, Patriot Front, J6 insurrectionists, and many other actual Nazis will have badges, guns, and a mandate from the federal government to round up immigrants, dissenters, disabled, and anybody else they deem to be "undesirable". And that's just ONE of the plates spinning in the air.
How is this somehow NOT an Onion article?
I don't know. I grew up in Boulevard, CA (map it for context). The border was very much a part of my life every day. Daily checkpoint crossings, BP riding quads through your yard at 3am, mass detention facilities being built a couples miles from your house, vigilante "Minutemen" shooting at people, starving people knocking on your door in the middle of the night, etc, etc, etc.
Now I live in Minnesota, and I have to deal with otherwise totally liberal people going crazy about the "Illegals!" and "Cartels!" and it just seems like if you get far enough away from the border it becomes so easy to distance yourself from it that it might as we'll be Mordor.
Your snark is unnecessary. You CAN take measures to protect yourself and your loved ones from bad actors, and most of the solutions are free and open and dead simple.
As for not buying anything made after 2010? It's actually really easy. All you have to do is be poor. I've never bought a new car and I don't know anybody who has, and their lives are not any worse for it.
Maybe you have a "keeping up with the Jones" problem?
