Been trying to stress this point for years...

@chrisafk it’s almost always a woman saying it though

[subnetter@shitposter.world]

@sun @chrisafk it's a piece by L.A Taco, so I think this is supposed to represent MAGA who want Flock surveillance

[sun@shitposter.world]

@subnetter @chrisafk that could be

[jonesmurphy@mastodon.social]

@mysturji @chrisafk not just the gov't at all. The USA was born in enormous, overwhelmingly private mass surveillance in pursuit of genocide, slavery & apartheid. The US leads the world in imprisonment ever since Civil Rights, primarily due to mass surveillance by state & local cops.

@chrisafk Been saying this since 2007 if you can believe it, and I was an idiot teen back then.

@chrisafk unless you're a "communist" whatever that means for the fascist governments.

@chrisafk Alternatively:
"You sure? You are talking to anti-surveillance person now. This is tracked and noted into your profile."

@chrisafk

I'm living in Germany, but if your red caps act like ours, they are sensitive if you mention some targets of surveillance:

- using two parking stalls with one car
- ignore red lights as a pedestrian
- parking on the sidewalk (illegal in Germany)
- drink and drive
- parking in the bike lane
- shouting after hours in the night
- and any form of domestic violence even the slightest form of aggressive talking

I don't know the situation in the US in detail, but in Germany those people are known for breaking rules often, behave like they own the public space, other people, bullying those lower on the social ladder and other typical supremacist behavior.

@chrisafk good point

@chrisafk

No one who lives in the USA has any excuse for believing this.

During the Second World War, there were a number of charities set up to help starving Russians. Russia was the USA’s ally against Hitler and the government endorsed and promoted these charities.

During the McCarthy era, having given money to any of these charities was taken as evidence of unamerican, pro-communist, behaviour.

@chrisafk Ask them if they’d still be fine with all those cameras if Biden were still president.

@chrisafk One detail that keeps landing: the detective assigned to investigate the first Milwaukee case was later charged with the exact same thing. Two dozen documented cases and climbing — and the audit tool only catches misuse after it's already happened. We ran the full receipts plus the 4th Circuit case that could set the warrant standard: thebluf.news/p/flock-camera-misuse
