    Lets record everything CEOs and government officials do in their spare time, and lets see how long that lasts.

    The simple fact of using the word “citizens” instead of people sounds awfully dystopian to me.

    You may not like it, but this is what peak freedom looks like in a liberal capitalist society.

      If we had a way of documenting their crimes, ICE would not kill people, right?

      Well, there are paid thugs not caring if they’re being recorded.

    These dumbasess are nearing the wish and dream of every autocratic government in human history: to fully automate the military.

    Its not done yet dumbasses, why are you revealing these cards in such a public way? They are so impatient and arrogant, which will one day be their undoing.

    The inevitably of end stage capitalism marches closer

      Thiel moving to Argentina too soon, too? Maybe place your administration one more time, before leaving the mess you made?

        That coward fleeing is one of the better harbingers of this hellscape, means he thinks the backlash might be worse than he anticipated

      They’re trying to make us feel powerless, while giving investors the impression they have the most dystopian product: as products without regard for morals tend to yield the highest returns. The biggest bullshitter will secure most venture capital, to be weaponized against competitors.

    If you are always on your best behavior, doesn’t that also mean you are also on your worst behavior? Are there specific times to relax permitted?

    What is it about the plummeting rates of violent crime in the past few decades that called for this erosion of human dignity?

    Best behavior for the cameras. While we find ways to hack the system, scramble facial recognition, create alternative spaces they can’t touch, etc. We’re not going to broadcast how we circumvent their constant onslaught of creeper bullshit.
