What encryption fundamentalists won't tell you is that encryption has and always will be a tool of the state.

@yashalevine so privacy is a tool of the state?
— Mass. Pirate Party (@masspirates) November 19, 2015
@masspirates @yashalevine The private self is indispensably indebted to disciplinary procedures of state, the tool is you (and me).

Privacy is both etymologically and conceptually connected to privation, deprivation. @yashalevine @masspirates
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) November 19, 2015
What we are deprived of by privacy is publicity/publicness. @yashalevine @masspirates
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) November 19, 2015
This matters because so much of the dignity & integrity typically attributed to "privacy" depends on public life. @yashalevine @masspirates
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) November 19, 2015
Too often privacy discourse (esp inflected through techno-fetishism) amounts to deranging fantasies of control. @yashalevine @masspirates
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) November 19, 2015
@dalecarrico @yashalevine the private thoughts in our head existed long before the state
— Mass. Pirate Party (@masspirates) November 19, 2015
@masspirates @yashalevine Your characterization of them as "private" did not.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) November 19, 2015
@dalecarrico so? They were still not shared, and that matters @yashalevine

Make sure you encrypt your thoughts so that your sleep can't read your mind! @masspirates @dalecarrico
— Yasha Levine (@yashalevine) November 19, 2015
Privacy is not encryption. @dalecarrico @masspirates
— Yasha Levine (@yashalevine) November 19, 2015
@yashalevine encryption enables private communications @dalecarrico
— Mass. Pirate Party (@masspirates) November 19, 2015
@masspirates @yashalevine Then no non-encrypted communication is private in the sense you mean? (See what I mean about control fantasies?)
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) November 19, 2015
Public laws enable protection of personal communication. @masspirates @dalecarrico
— Yasha Levine (@yashalevine) November 19, 2015
@yashalevine @masspirates @dalecarrico Encryption enables privacy independently of public laws.

@zachbastick @yashalevine @masspirates So does whispering to a point. All to the good, so long as whispo-anarchism doesn't become a thing.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) November 19, 2015
@dalecarrico @yashalevine @masspirates If secret communication doesn't aid the public sphere, are privacy and democracy mutually exclusive?
— Zach Bastick (@zachbastick) November 19, 2015
@zachbastick @yashalevine @masspirates Privacy is fine, philosophical privacy-totalisms clarify little. It's a boys and their toys thing.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) November 19, 2015
@dalecarrico so we would all be better off if we could read each other's thoughts? @yashalevine
— Mass. Pirate Party (@masspirates) November 19, 2015
@masspirates @yashalevine A lack of encryption makes telepathy real? Why do conversations with techbros always go this way?
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) November 19, 2015
Down the rabbit hole with libertechbrotarian cryptoanarchists: it's always chrome dildo sabers on Secret Pirate Island in five minutes flat.

@dalecarrico thanks for stepping in. Encryption cultists are a hard burden to bear in private.
— Yasha Levine (@yashalevine) November 20, 2015
"Demonization of encryption." The real question is about emotional attachment to/identification with encryption.
— David Golumbia (@dgolumbia) November 19, 2015
Encryption-fixation often exposes a paranoid/aggressive project of cyborg-ruggedized selfhood, very closely akin to gun-nuttery. @dgolumbia
