sure, there is token resistance among people with No Power, like redditors against Flock cameras. but overall, everyone just acquiesced to the Eye of Big Brother like NBD.

it means that the media creates stories to feed to people, and the people react to it. if the media does not cover the story or tell them how to react to it (either pro or con), it pretty much doesn't exist

We need cameras and drones everywhere and AI agents constantly searching them for violations and auto deploying police. This is what is going to really help us get to a new level of Utopia is that before there weren't enough humans to scan ever second of every video feed. Now AI can do it tirelessly.

Sure.

But in the past it was almost exclusively the domain of feds. And they mostly only busted it out on reasonably legitimate enemies of the state. And maybe they did some parallel construction stuff on serious crimes that don't really pertain to national security.

Now it's bored state cops doing dragnets on people doing border runs to states where weed is legal.

you are posing the question "why should anyone care" as if this is a question I am invested in or have the answer to. all I know is that Americans generally are opposed to government and civic overreach, but in this case, they ceded privacy with little fanfare. as a Liberal Nihilist I lend no weight to any moral conviction in the matter and maintain a supine neutrality.

it's way too useful to too many powerful interests to stop. it's a good illustration of how 'the system' actually works. when something is important to the system, it is placed outside of the 'democratic process' entirely, and that's that. there is no corrective mechanism for this. no such check and/or balance exists.

i assume that all kinds of surveillance tools are being used against iran, but the US probably lacks 'local staging' options for strikes against such targets, which means that longer-range munitions are depleted when such targets are hit.

there's a lot of stuff that works like you described (untouchable because it's invaluable to The Machine). people don't like to recognize or admit this because it makes it so there's no human beings they can blame and it's also boring and i guess blackpilling

the older i get, the clearer it becomes to me that most of what happens in the world is outside of human design. there's no actual human mechanism to stop the inexorable advance and consolidation of technology and capital. but then eventually, the system will break down and collapse anyway, like it always has throughout history, without humans deliberately doing anything to bring that about, either

'blame' would be best apportioned against those with the most power and cash, in line with the old maxim 'to whom much is given, much is expected.' but you can understand why a media and culture shaped around the worship and protection of power would suppress that kind of message.

the point is that no one can be blamed, though. no one has even close to enough power to actually change the system in any consequential way. it's literally impossible. to speak of "blame" at all is incoherent

the system cannot be changed or "reformed" from within. it could only ever be destroyed by an outside force

existential blame ("you did this") is silly, but localized blame ("you profited/took advantage of/etc.") is perfectly apt in many cases.

I went to a lake weekend with a group, one of the girls in nashville married a firefighter there

He said during the nfl draft in like 2018 in nashville or whatever, they had some marathon in the morning. They had on camera some guy dropping a bag off next to a trash can near crowds.

This dude was working special ops on some command center with like big screens all over the wall. He said they saw the guy on camera drop it off. They within minutes were able to pick him out (general description, clothing) amongst tens of thousands of people, he downtown at that moment. And get cops on him. . He thought it was crazy. Imagine that shit now with AI

Turns out the dude was some normal dude who put his bag down before the race

Are they though? These cameras are fucking everywhere now, including rural as fuck areas where traffic signs are frequently used for target practice.

Pretty much all of the occasions of people fucking with these cameras that I've heard of are in metro areas
