    Americans not giving a shit about the people they pay taxes to starve and slaughter will come back to bite them. The chicken is coming home to roost, and it’s bringing back all the “battle tested” civilian oppression technologies. IDF already trains your police, you haven’t even begun to see what a police state looks like.

    Have you seen Flock cameras in your state yet? Has your sheriff put out an official statement to assure you it’s for your safety? Have the rich neighborhood around you started installing them at their entrance willingly?

    This company is deploying a network of AI cameras that cover every intersection to record and tracks your every move in a database they expose to the police, for your safety of course.

      There’s no putting the toothpaste back in the tube. Kinda just buckling up and wondering what the new normal will look like, but the feeling of hopelessness is increasingly pervasive.
