I'd be okay with an authoritarian surveillance state given a hypothetical perfect state

the reality is very far from that, though... eg. imagine getting arrested and sued for >$100k just for a meme  https://www.deccanherald.com/world/on-my-way-to-blow-up-the-plane-joke-turns-into-a-spanish-court-trial-for-this-uk-man-2866231
