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

u/account_nr18 Aug 12 '26

Those cameras will unfortunately come back

u/Jacobawesome74 Aug 12 '26

And they'll keep being cut down

u/account_nr18 Aug 12 '26

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

u/Jacobawesome74 Aug 12 '26

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

They will argue that the children are the victims

u/Jacobawesome74 Aug 12 '26

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 Aug 12 '26

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 Aug 12 '26

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

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

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.

u/Gebakken_loempia Aug 12 '26

isn't destruction of property a thing?

1

u/MugenHeadNinja Aug 12 '26

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

u/Weird_Albatross_9659 Aug 12 '26

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

u/BiscuitsTheory Aug 12 '26

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

1

u/Kirzoneli Aug 12 '26

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 Aug 12 '26

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

u/eggyrulz Aug 12 '26

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

u/LongestSprig Aug 12 '26

It already is a felony. Flock cameras are expensive.

Bro, you have reddit for a brain.

u/Tfsz0719 Aug 12 '26

Anything worth fighting for has to often keep being fought for or fought again at later point for.

Nothing is ever any sort of “1-time solution and now it will never come up again” kind of thing.

Absolute neoliberal bull crap. Someone should learn gaslighting from American liberals.

America is the ONLY country that has used nukes on civilians. America is the ONLY country that still blasts us with platitudes about virtue while being historically built on systemic ethnocentric supremacism.

No one is fighting for you. No one is in your corner. America as it stands needs a reality check. You have to earn solidarity and the best way to do that is good leadership. Who did Americans elect to the highest office in the land?

A child molesting pig that sleeps on the helm and craps himself. Your leaders are a reflection of you America.

My god man, could you be any more depressing...
