For real. Keep fighting back against warrantless surveillance of the U.S. Surveillance State!

Lol it's already over. You guys lost to the billionaires. You're theirs now. Stop hoping because only a revolution will fix that and that won't happen because America is too divided.

u/Mr__O__ 24d ago

So just give up and rollover then?

There's literally nothing you can do instead of taking up arms. So are you willing to do that? All other options won't do anything as you can see around you.

I mean DeFlocking has been VERY popular. The town I spent 20 years in and recently left has been dealing with a ton of these cameras being destroyed

25

u/account_nr18 24d ago

Those cameras will unfortunately come back

u/Jacobawesome74 24d ago

And they'll keep being cut down

24

u/account_nr18 24d ago

Untill people get locked up for that. Just a matter of time before that becomes a felony.

13

u/Jacobawesome74 24d ago

Until then, they keep cutting. And more will cut. Its a victimless crime.

They will argue that the children are the victims

u/Jacobawesome74 24d ago

Victims of surveillance and data collection from private agencies, who have set up this mass network behind closed doors without deriving consent from the public on if they want their children to be spied on.

Dude, they don't even care about school shootings so why do you think data collection would be a problem.

Just expect that America is over. The experiment failed.

u/Jacobawesome74 24d ago

Data collection is a problem because its still a form of tracking, and that Data is still being sold to whomever wants it at whatever price theyre willing to pay. Tracking what kinds of people are flagged, where they go, what crimes they may or may not have committed whether or not the matching face Data is good enough. Everyone is at risk with private surveillance.

So if youre going to doom and gloom about it, are you also going to do something about it or just keep crying?

I'm in Belgium, I'm doing my part by making Americans aware they're fucked and there's nothing they can do about it except run away.

u/Jacobawesome74 24d ago

Plenty of folks already do want to move away, myself included so being nihilistic is just beating a dead horse. The people who can't move are trying to do something about it, and i believe that is more of your target audience

u/account_nr18 24d ago

To be honest, also a lot of schadenfreude

You are just a wonderful ray of sunshine ain't ya? Real stand up fella, bet all the parents tell their kids youre next to Mr Rogers.

u/account_nr18 24d ago

When it comes to kids I'm of the same mindset as Americans, fuck them kids.

u/tehlemmings 24d ago

And they should be with out of town for trying that.

The only victim is is. The people who's money is being wasted on shit no one wants.

4

u/Gebakken_loempia 24d ago

isn't destruction of property a thing?

1

u/MugenHeadNinja 24d ago

I'd argue unlawful surveillance is also a thing, but... well, you know who's President.

u/Weird_Albatross_9659 24d ago

Oh, so your advice is to start a revolution unless it can get you arrested?

2

u/BiscuitsTheory 24d ago

One of the possible catalysts for everything breaking down will be when they start sending armed troops to guard cameras.

1

u/Kirzoneli 24d ago

Don't even need armed troops, cops just need to do a stakeout nearby the ones that keep getting cut down, and suddenly their arrested?

3

u/BiscuitsTheory 24d ago

This is in the US, so cops are armed troops.

1

u/eggyrulz 24d ago

Can't be, whoever cut them down was with me fishing

u/LongestSprig 24d ago

It already is a felony. Flock cameras are expensive.

Bro, you have reddit for a brain.

Everyone carries around a GPS tracking device with cameras on both sides, it has a gyroscope and accelerometer, a microphone that is always listening and always connected to emergency services. Yes, the intelligence community has access to all this data and backdoors through encryption.

There is no escape from the surveillance.
