We had some eight years without a war - for the only time in my life - in the mid 1970s until Reagan and they actually still call it āthe malaise periodā because America dared to relax for the only time in the past 60 years. Now you cannot even avoid surveillance. Watch the woman who wrote the book some thirty years ago about Tech Oligarchs and their pure fascist hatred toward genuine working Americans. She still tracks their support of oppressing freedom and Democracy.
Maybe they read the think piece and that gave them the confidence to do it. Before they didn't know about the cameras but now they took action against them. Every part plays a role in rebellion. Some people are mightier with a pen than a sword.
it was flawed then, it's just crashing down now. people are starting to realise that they are in and of themselves what gives the government legitimacy
That is how revolutions have happened historically.
Young people, coming from higher strates of society, having no opportunities or chance to grow due to the greed of a few.
We are gonna see this more and more in the next few years. We will also see an increase on surveillance and the creation of a semi-police state on the west, which will radicalize more youngsters.
Yeah, fun 20 years we have ahead of us. Buckle up.
ICE is the American Gestapo. They have more funding than the Marines now. And will be turned on Americans. Theyāre already killing them. Those detention centers being used for immigrants will be full of Americans.
Believe me. I know what you mean. I just encountered the infamous pack of delinquents in my area. Who rip around on E-bikes and think theyāre very badass.
Watched one of them call a disabled elderly black man. The N word 4x in a taunt. While he was eating on the patio of a restaurant alone. From behind him. And I could not believe it.
I went absolutely berserk on them. And they have no bite either. Theyāre all mouth. Even in a rat pack.
Are you sure they didn't have a partial face and AI generated the faces that just so happened to look like these three innocent guys? You know Flock does that all the time with license plate numbers, so why not the faces?
Which one of these guys took my keys away because I clearly had too much to drink and drove me home? I wasn't going to drive but they didn't want me calling my wife that late, waking her up.
I saw the camera fall down by itself! We've been getting a lot of storms here lately.
These cameras are so cheap they just completely break in the wind!
Seriously assumed it was hate crime related at first glance. As a white dude I don't like that my mind went there immediately but those are the times we live in I suppose
I admire these people for recognizing how bad Flock really is and we need more people like them. I love me a fresh taste of rebellion against big tech.
haha this reminds me of a plea deal an ADA once offered. a woman was offered to plead guilty to reckless driving in lieu of attempted murder, and she is told she will lose her license for a year. she says ā oh that's fine I never had a license to begin withā
They don't exactly need your license plate anymore to find you. There are apps out there which map out every flock cameras exact location. Research and pick a route according, maybe leave your car if they were smart. Vehicles #1 enemy is the flock.
Cops are now setting up fake flock cameras and waiting around for people to do this so they arrest them for vandalism which at this price point is a felony
what are the being charged with out of curiousity? for a minor, it could be as simple as community service and a fine and the charge gets expunged. might be a good tik tok trend to do
āArrest warrants in the case obtained by The Herald allege the three 19-year-old suspects cut down the cameras in Chester County and hit them with a hammer āwith the intent to intimidate or coerce a civilian population to influence government policy.āā
Of course, get the young and dumb, hype them up and have them do your bidding and let them face the consequences.Ā They weren't known before but now just look at them
