Even right wingers like this dude don’t want authoritarian surveillance bs.
man talking sense right here

“X company has annoucned new safeguards to _______ (common sense concerns anyone not trying to speedrun Demolition Man would have forseen).”
Do they not realize this makes them confirmed to be so much worse than the average person thinks and exactly what everyone who hates them despises? They don’t give a fuck about the rights of anyone they are violating and never have from the start which is why any of this could happen to begin with.
Fuck Flock.
There’s actually a lot of political solidarity about mass surveillance. Go to the grimiest YouTube comment section and you’ll see the same kind of vitriol against Palantir et al that you would here.
They just think it serves the globalhomo socialist cabal trying to take over the US and not the fascist coup that already has taken over the US.
We can’t make them not suck as people but we can turn Frankenstein’s monster back aginst them
i would even say with enough time and deprogramming we can make them suck a lot less than they do. perhaps it’s true though that there can never be full recovery. but i think part of achieving class consciousness is having the faith to put in the effort in believing that better things are possible and that humans are neither inherently good nor inherently evil, but rather products of their environment
I think once you’re hardened to exterior influence by thought terminating mechanisms there’s nothing left to save, but letting them kill their masters first seems prudent.
I disagree about one part. I do believe humans are inherently good. Sure, there are some people who are neuro-divergent that this doesn’t apply to (though this doesn’t mean they aren’t capable of it, it just might not be inherent). Everyone else though I think are good. That’s how we evolved.
They might not do good because they’re mislead. That’s why many of the conservative arguments are still made with a moral framework, like “think of the children/women” even though that’s just a very thin veil. That’s all it takes sometimes for people to do the wrong thing because they believe, without question, that they’re doing something good.
I think that’s part of why religion is bad. It isn’t just because organized religion has evil people, but that religion is based on the concept of not questioning things. A lot of these people just believe they’re doing good without considering if it’s actually the right thing.
Whatever wakes them and their guns up is fine with me
their guns are already woken up. they just bring them to an elementary school or nail salon.
This is the town that put up a speed camera on the highway around 2012 and someone took a shotgun to it. The authorities fixed the camera and someone shot it again.
A lot of CEOs should be hanged.
Most, even
All perhaps
I could MAYBE be talked into sparing all folks on social media claiming to be the CEOs of the side hustle. And I guess Gaben but he has to get rid of his yacht(s?) first
Personally I don’t care how many yacts you have, but meddle in my government, behave like an aristocrat, try to surveil and manipulate all the proles, and I am not a happy camper. Very salty.
I think there ought to be a hard cap on wealth from 30mil net worth to somewhere around 250mil. Per person. Double that per family. The actual net worth number should be INDEXED to median (not average) wealth and income, cost of living, etc. And it should be determined democratically.
If we catch someone speeding, first offence just surrender all the wealth over the max wealth limit. Second offence? Capital punishment without the possibility of a pardon, and limited chances to appeal. This can’t be treated like any other crime. Going over the wealth limit shound be considered treason.
What?
All billionaires but not all CEOs
Should I be hanged?
Only if you really want to be. Maybe you’re into that? You should probably use a buddy system, though.
Maybe just choked a little bit. Like, medium-choked at most.
Yeah, my second friend to die went out via autoerotic asphyxiation. Be careful with it.
Same for me, I’m with you
No idea, why I should be hanged, because the only person I’m abusing is myself…
This is easy.
Do you call yourself a CEO? If yes, then yes. If no, then no. 👍
I hope you don’t actually believe that.
Not that it matters but I don’t. My parents got me a little plaque for my desk that says “ramenshamen, <LLC name>, CEO” which is kinda fun but I’m just a guy. I don’t walk around introducing myself as a CEO of a company where I’m the only employee.
I don’t think you are really grasping how much people hate anyone even slightly associated with ceos.
Even if you just play act as them.
Not saying you’re a bad person, but maybe distance yourself from the embodiment of parasitism.
Free my homie Luigi!!
Dude plead guilty. Idk what his strategery is but it don’t make since yo me
his strategy is to invoke new york’s double jeopardy law meaning he goes from facing a murder charge to catching a stalking charge
I concur
Best believe this backlash is already factored into Flock’s equations
And our governments.
Half these shit ass companies got funding from the government to do exactly what they do. I don’t get why people chug on left right and center dick when it’s all attached to the same monster culture.
It’s almost as if the mentality of western culture as a single unit, is moreso the problem than the government… We have all been groomed to live our entire lives to keep this monster growing. It’s not even about political parties, cops and these microcosms… There’s people with good intentions and bad intentions in all aspects… Left right or center. Why? Because they are all groomed since birth to live for something universally unatural that requires constant oversight and war to maintain. They choose to live against the universe in order to control the narrative instead of choosing to work with the universe and nature to simply exist without greed.
Democracy hasn’t been authentic for decades. It’s literally theater now.
I regard most voting as giving your okay to have decisions made for you and not by you. The owning classes wouldn’t OK their democracy shpiel if it didn’t play a vital role in sustaining the system at this point. It’s as if they’re trying to say “oh, just go to the voting booth. We are one people and we are totally not divided through opposing interests. My interests are totally your interests, now go and vote for the candidate that managed to receive enough funds to compete, which is btw everyone on the ballot”
I don’t think voting is terrible, on Wikipedia it seems to work quite well (and is not overused) because there is no real social stratification on that site like in the real world and everyone is united in the goal of creating a decent, stable source of knowledge. But a lot of democracy, even many direct forms of it, have shown themselves to be tools to legitimate state terrorism and to condition popular support from the people most negatively affected by present political decisions.
Here is a semi decent video about the futility of the whole thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM_AFv5Z7qI
I dont need the government to do something for me. I am more interested in stopping what its already doing.
Yes, right on. You won’t stop them by voting.
Democracy is owned by those that understand psychology and have the means to manipulate.
If you like 4 hour long documentaries, i think you might be interested in Adam curtis’s “Century Of The Self”. Pretty sure its on YouTube
Pretty much. As someone who dedicated my life to language it’s been particularly unpleasant to watch its use as communication medium and meaning-making thing die over the course of a decade or less. I hate everyone involved.
At least they’re full of passionate intensity.
You underestimate their arrogance.
Arrogance has little to do with making these strategic considerations. If anything arrogance is a strategy that comes from dealing with things like backlash etc. The cause is not arrogant people, or people lacking self awareness because of arrogance. It’s simple economics in a way.
It is arrogance in not thinking they have to fear the people, or the government.
It’s the same reason our politicians are now openly corrupt.
It might be. Do you really think anyone still making decisions isn’t completely brain rotted?
Yes. I think it’s dangerous to say “they are just crazy”
They’re… Crazy is a vast often thought terminating simplification, but I do think it applies to many of them. Not what I mean.
I mean psychological damage from excessive hard-slop yes-man culture and chatbot use. Things that would ruin any of us.
absolutely yes, the sooner the better

Got my vote.
Not wrong you know
There’s a prison nearby.
There are not flock cameras outside the prison or anywhere near it.
That should tell you everything you need to know.
