EU has always been leaning towards totalitarianism, but in the recent years things have really gone downhill. Frankly I don't care about China, Russia or any other other totalitarian states. Too bad EU takes example from them.
However I think that blocking Tor and VPN are not their main objectives. Most likely they will just remove physical cash (in fact they are already phasing it out), thus removing all crypto on/off ramps they don't control. Once the cash is gone the totalitarian state will be complete and we will be living in the Fourth Reich.
Worse than that. The project is to link digital identity to the use of CBDCs, so politicians will have all your information at the click of a button.
Some retards say that it's all the same, that nowadays when you use a cell phone you no longer have privacy. What they do not understand is that it is not the same that a company has my data and that to access them a judicial authorization is required, than a politician can access everything in an instant if he wants. Apart from the problem of hacks. Having medical data, employment, studies, economic behavior and behavior in general in the same centralized database is going to be a very juicy booty for hackers.
