    “and a paranoid belief that he was being watched.”

    It’s not paranoid. We call it surveilance capitalism.

      There is a clear difference between such paranoia and actual surveillance. Not to mention that socialism etc. have/had a fucking ton of it, no idea why you bring capitalism up.

          Because of the mentioned surveillance capitalism, there always has been surveillance, especially in any authoritarian regime and similar.
