Conscious and Conscience are different things (but understandably easy to conflate)
Have a gander at the people behind Brave Software. They’re all cut from the same silicon wafer as everyone else in the Silicon Valley executive biome. And the (lack of) readiness of the information about who is behind Brave is another tell in itself.
Yeah it’s the same goal
Interestingly enough I went to a lecture by a Chinese lawmaker yesterday who said the exact same thing. When it’s codified in law, you know what they can and can’t do, and what they can and can’t use in court against you. When governments just do it covertly and subvert due process, your right to privacy suffers a lot more. She didn’t have to point out what Snowden uncovered about the NSA for everyone to know what she was referring to.
When the Titanic went down 100 years ago the bourgeoisie leveraged their privilege to escape on lifeboats while the working class were locked in the ship to die as it sank to the bottom of the ocean.
Now the bourgeoisie leverage their privilege to lock themselves in a tube and sink to the bottom of the same spot of the ocean, and die there.

I think we’re missing a couple of nuances here, no? Although it’s a stretch to call them nuance. The way Ukrainian rulers have been making money has been through privatization. And because there’s so much privatization we need to look at who owns Ukraine’s economy. It’s only escalated since Russia invaded, with national assets being sold off to foreign private sectors so cheaply that one has to wonder why they did it when the gains are a drop in the bucket compared to the direct aid they’ve been getting from Western public sectors.
If Ukraine emerges from this conflict with its own sovereignty, it’ll be sovereignty over a flag, a presidential palace and a state framework that protects foreign companies’ investments from hungry Ukrainians.
