It’s simply way too easy to get caught nowadays. I don’t think there’s much more to it, honestly. Even if an individual makes a concerted effort to avoid technology (phone, computer, etc), the sprawling surveillance infra only encompasses more each day.

Conversely, one wonders, perhaps in dread, how those impulses are otherwise being sublimated.

My guess is it's like the psychology around https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory or, more broadly, reflexivity and socialization.

People may not have any particular 'impulse' to violence in a stable, safe society, but may be all too ready to participate in violence in a violent society. Society does not solely reflect the people in it, people also reflect the society they're in.
