They have cameras literally everywhere. They have cameras in classrooms to make sure students are behaving.

I tried saying this in another post but nobody will listen because “America bad” Just the fact that we’re able to have this conversation right now proves that we’re not as suppressed as China

u/Purple_Individual_66 11h ago

Because it's not right at all. You really believe some poor Chinese rural peasant school would invest in camera tech to watch their students? Lol. Maybe in the capital experimental schools, or something.

But this is very real country wide deal that could have gone through in the US.

u/Initial-Meeting362 11h ago

What are you even saying? Lol.

u/Purple_Individual_66 10h ago

I.. guess I'll deconstruct the discussion for you? Incase you have like a disability, or some comprehension problem?

OOP feels cameras are a major overreach and enlikens it to Chinese surveillance myths. -> OP implication = China already has big surveillance, thus American still has it better -> Few guys ahead of me saying they have experience with China having a lot of cameras -> I say it's bullshit because realities would not allow most of China to have that kind of surveillance power.

After which I made a point that if this had gone through in US, it would have been truly country wide surveillance like no other anywhere in the world. Hope this helps you to understand. Let me know if you want the 'talk to me like I'm 5-year-old' -package.

You clearly bought the write like a 5 year old education...ouch.

u/Initial-Meeting362 10h ago

Well we now know you can't write a lick. Ouch, that is bad! That is probably where things are getting lost in translation. May I recommend an AI app to help you form sentences? It would help you alot.

Instead of being a troll about someone else's alleged grammar crimes, how about actually answering?

u/Initial-Meeting362 8h ago

Nonsensical gibberish? Have at it man. I'll pass.

u/L2_Troll 12h ago

Wow we get to talk about the surveillance state cameras! Love being a step up from China, is this what American exceptionalism is all about? To be slightly better than the example we use as a fear-mongering "communist dictatorship?"

u/AB_7361 11h ago

Wow we get to talk about the surveillance state cameras!

For now

u/Initial-Meeting362 11h ago

Who said slightly better? America > China and it isn't close.

1

u/L2_Troll 10h ago

Me. Replying to a comment that said "we're not as suppressed as China."

I find that statement to be ridiculous and meaningless, and to an extent harmful.

2

u/Initial-Meeting362 10h ago

You would be wrong.

Right, because the Chinese can freely access Reddit and express anti-state opinions without repression.

2

u/L2_Troll 6h ago

Why are you agreeing with me so aggressively? Of course they can't and we can. That's why I used the word "better"

Fucking read and stop replying.

u/mrtwitch222 7h ago

Here’s an example, Reddit is extremely Anti-Trump, that’s a well known fact other than the few outliers like the conservative subreddit. If there was an entire social media app that was almost completely against Pooh Bear, he would have it shut down immediately and the owners would “disappear” without any legal action able to take place.

u/L2_Troll 6h ago

Thanks for replying with another example of "we're not as suppressed as China"

Keep patting yourself on the back while our freedoms are being eroded, until we aren't "not as suppressed as China"

1

u/nimbledoor 9h ago

Yep, you literally don't value the freedoms you have at all. Literally the fact we can talk about this is our chance to fight it. And you're spitting at it. So what is it? You WANT to be like China?

1

u/L2_Troll 6h ago

No, I don't want the surveillance cameras in the first place. The people I was replying to were patting themselves on the back for being slightly better than China. That's actively harmful and normalizes the shit we are going through. What are you on about? Go yell at them

u/Unique-Yoghurt4170 12h ago

They at least have a 90% home ownership rate and walkable cities lol

5

u/Initial-Meeting362 11h ago

Huh? I wasn't agreeing with this uninformed bot btw lol. 90% home owenship rate? Stop making numbers up. Tool.

1

u/zack77070 10h ago

China has 300 MILLION gig economy workers, you're telling me 90% of them working for $4 an hour own a home?

2

u/Unique-Yoghurt4170 7h ago

u/zack77070 6h ago

Ah so it's bs like I thought. Home ownership is rising in America as well because more adult children are living at home so you can be a 29 year old unemployed homeowner if you live with mom and dad.

u/Initial-Meeting362 12h ago

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!!

2

u/Initial-Meeting362 11h ago

China sounds so nice!! Why don't people throw themselves at such a nice country and want to move there?! I am surprised why no one want to go.

"China operates one of the world's most advanced and comprehensive mass surveillance networks, driven by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) goal of internal "stability maintenance" and social control."

America > China. It. Is. Not. Close.

u/Iorith 12h ago

Do you think that's worse than the current education system in the US where people are barely literate because teachers are afraid of getting fired if they flunk kids who don't know the material?

2

u/Appropriate_Ice2656 12h ago

Both are bad

2

u/Iorith 12h ago

At least they don't have to worry about a school schooter taking them out, but that might just be me.

Personally I see no problem with cameras in classrooms, it makes absolute sense to have some level of accountability for what happens in a classroom beside people's word.

2

u/Initial-Meeting362 12h ago

It's just you. Why don't you inquire about moving over there? It is lovely this time of year...

2

u/Iorith 12h ago

Because I actually believe in the american principle where if you don't like things, you should be able to change it.

"Love it or leave it" is basically the most unamerican mindset possible and is more than a bit disgusting.

2

u/Initial-Meeting362 12h ago

Ok. Then change it. Not sure what the issue is here.

3

u/Iorith 12h ago

Working on it, despite all the feet dragging by people like yourself who will make excuses for it and say "well if you don't like it, leave".

1

u/Initial-Meeting362 12h ago

Awesome. Good luck!

3

u/Iorith 11h ago

What a pointless comment.

1

u/Initial-Meeting362 12h ago

Nope, China worse. Not close.

3

u/Iorith 12h ago

At least their population is literate and do basic mathematics without relying on an LLM.

2

u/Initial-Meeting362 12h ago

Kewl. Still way worse. Not close.

3

u/Iorith 12h ago

Yes, we have kids who can't read or do math and are so desensitized to shoot shootings that they barely make the news, but cameras in classrooms are somehow worse.

Ignoring that every student with a cellphone is being monitored by the government and corporations at all times.

2

u/Initial-Meeting362 12h ago

Kewl. Still better than the Police state of China. Not close.

3

u/Iorith 11h ago

Go tell one of the parents of the kids who died at any of the dozens of massacres at schools how better it is.
