5 minute video of the interaction:
Even right wingers like this dude don’t want authoritarian surveillance bs.
man talking sense right here
Got my vote.
I dream of a hack that puts Fock’s CEO whereabout at all time using Flock cameras.
They REALLY like their privacy
We could purchase an easement from his neighbor for a camera pointed at his house. That would be funny…
Become a utility. They have easement rights.
A lot of CEOs should be hanged.
Free my homie Luigi!!
Most, even
All perhaps
All billionaires but not all CEOs
Edit: I have my own LLC but I don’t have any employees. I could, technically, call myself a CEO and that would be valid. Should I be hanged?
Should I be hanged?
Only if you really want to be. Maybe you’re into that? You should probably use a buddy system, though.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Traditional conservatives don’t like it, the problem is that most of the parties that call themselves conservative or liberal (in US terminology or the equivalent terms in other countries) are actually all just right wing authoritarian parties with slightly different tactics to convince people to support them. Authoritarianism needs to control the narratives and to do that have an easy way to crack down on dissenters. Heck the term “rednecks” used to originally refer to left wing, labor rights activists. They just got manipulated into becoming sheep for the far right using single issue politics.
“Our flag will be red, with lots of X’s. Well call ourselves the red’N’exs”
-civil war on drugs. Timmy.
Best believe this backlash is already factored into Flock’s equations
You underestimate their arrogance.
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.
But we’ve built the monster so big that if we leave the culture we will end up being treated like Muslims and the middle east. Isn’t it clear we rape anything that isn’t loyalty to the mindset we created for control? And then the same people that fund it have the gaul to go out and protest the same evil they participated in living for. It’s like a mental illness. When are people going to wake up and realize not participating in this culture is the only minimally and slightly real path to stopping it…? We really already gave up humanity to monsters so in truth is say genuine natural honest humanity is already dead. Democracy is owned by those that understand psychology and have the means to manipulate. Democracy hasn’t been authentic for decades. It’s literally theater now.
I think this guy summed up modern western culture perfectly. I copied this from another post I made… So no YouTube link…
In my other comment I linked a YouTube video… I forget the guys name… But the channel is Middle Nation.
I wanted to share a summary of the first 4 minutes because I thought it hits so well. (Via YT ai).
In the first four minutes of the video (0:01 - 3:52), Shahid Bolsen argues that the flamboyant and nonsensical rhetoric coming from the US government and mainstream media is a deliberate tactic, not an accident.
Key takeaways from the opening segment:
The Filtering Mechanism:
He draws an analogy to email scammers who intentionally include poor grammar to filter for the most gullible targets. He suggests the US political and media establishment is doing the same thing: they are no longer trying to persuade intelligent, critical thinkers, but are instead sorting for a niche audience of loyalists who value belonging over truth (1:00 - 1:59).
Loyalty over Logic:
The speaker claims that the messaging has become a loyalty test. The goal is not to win support from the broader public, but to identify those who will blindly follow the official narrative regardless of how absurd it appears (2:00 - 2:31).
Abandoning Persuasion:
By relying on theatrical, infantile, and disconnected messaging, the power structure is essentially conceding that they no longer view the informed population as part of their legitimacy. They are building a “stupid club” for individuals who lack discernment and want to be told what to feel (3:02 - 3:52).
This concept is a about left right and center.
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.
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
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”
“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.
