Re "Most people on Ciba are quite happy to see a nascent apartheid state with digital scannable passes",
Sorry, but I don't agree - a lot of them are. I have been in enough discussions with them to understand that. I even know their arguments/ways of justifying this fascism to themselves. Of course, as you infer it is possible that in a real face-to-face discussion, they would express themselves differently.
It is also possible that those who are quiet about it might be against this ieviešanu... I don't know.
