    Well, not the same people. The surveillance people are authoritarian fascists that have been in government parties a lot longer than the newer parties with similar views.

      Facism is not the same thing as wanting mass surveillance. Or is your definition fascist = bad?

        Well, mostly I was thinking of the extreme nationalist views that most of these kinds of politicians showed in the past when they e.g. created intelligence agencies that completely ignored any international agreements, basic rights,… to ensure the supremacy of their own nation and their influence within it.
