In civilized countries The Flock Camera network is CLEARLY illegal.
My recommendation to USA is to strive to become a civilized country, before caring so much about every single detail that arise from not being a civilized country.
Americans are constantly focusing on the symptoms but never on the disease that cause them. Maybe because Americans are brainwashed to think the insanity going on in USA is normal.

There’s a lot of money controlling media propaganda, which brainwashes people. Or people are otherwise powerless. You could probably say the same about Russians in Putin’s Russia. Or Chinese under the CCP.

Yes, the difference is that most people are aware it's happening in Authoritarian countries like Russia and China, but forget that it's also happening in USA.

Brainwash nothing, you have to be a ponderously ignorant person and inherently mean enough to fall for the brainwashing. That excuse maybe flies the first term, at this point they're genuinely indisputably bad people. They have agency. They choose this seeing everything you and I see. Fuck em all, if they all died overnight it would solve the majority of the earth's problems.

How is a paragraph consisting entirely of platitudes a solution?

“Americans are being spied on by their government and powerful transnational corporations despite the fact that they voted to show their disapproval.”

“Yes, well. Have you tried being civilized? 🧐”
