Forget state and corporate surveillance. You are being watched by a hivebeast with a thousand eyes. It’s the people around you. So conforming that they are barely individuals. The hivebeast is not kind, or even very smart, but it is powerful and it demands your compliance.
I live in America, people here operate in the opposite fashion of a hive - in a hive the organism is the collective, and the individual is just a part of the whole. In the U.S. many people refuse to take minimal actions to benefit others and even themselves out of the perception that it is collectivist.
