> This surveillance is now seen in Latin America as a threat from the classic "American Imperialism"
Funny you mention that, cause Latin America has always been treated as a colony by the US. Recent detention of the Bolivian presidential plane is a good example of this arrogant attitude.
There's less prominent, but a similar condescending tone towards Europe, which for decades has been a puppet in the US geopolitical games. It could be tolerated while the threat of the evil commies existed. That threat is long gone, but militant ambitions of the US remained.
After the decade of wars, kidnappings, tortures, drones, and general world policing by the US, Europeans and other nations have had enough of it. I see a wave of anti-American, pro-nationalist sentiment on the rise. It is unfortunate, but rightly deserved.
The irony of it is that it is the military and security complex that will cash in on this development. More threats means more money and more power, which is less freedom for us, the people.
