Surveillance State [View all]

With everything going on it's easy for some things to slip through the cracks and for me that "thing" was the scale and speed of the surveillance state we are fast approaching.

From Flock cameras to new cars to 6G to actual grocery store carts, the scope and scale of the approaching government nannie state CANNOT be exaggerated.

The Al and social media and surveillance industry's own public admission, they will be able to track you in real time, everywhere you go, everything you do and everything you say, no matter where you are, can and will be tracked monitored and stored by these companies and shared with the government and monetized and studied.

There will be cameras required in your car, TV and computer that will monitor everything you do in order to use those devices.

I get it, you think I'm being hyperbolic or a kook.

I promise you I'm not.

That's why I debated with myself to include links or not. I decided it's easier for you to go look yourself and determine if I'm right or not.

Also will add that the systems they are creating will also automatically notify law enforcement if it thinks you have committed a crime, if you really have or not.

We have been so preoccupied with Republican and Trump insanity on a daily basis that we never realized that buried in all the stuff they were doing was also the framework to make all that possible.
Honestly, some of it was not that subtle and not all of it was just Republicans.

Things like constant monitoring of your vehicle and your computer usage, was, as much or more so, initiatives of Democrats as Republicans.

I am not sure how we got from a Republican party that railed against the government surveillance state/nannie state to this but here we are.

It is, very much, much worse than you think it is.
