I used to go to Venice Beach and admire the semi-quaint and weird vibes the area employed. Since Big Tech moved right next door, I noticed a decreased in diversity and an increase of tech bros ruining the scene. It no longer has the old vibes I once knew, in addition to everything in the area increased in price due to their presence.
American's fascination with Oligarchs and celebrities is absurd.
I applaud your efforts to stay incognito, but the minute you stepped out of your dwelling, cameras were already focused on you. From neighbors ring cameras, to businesses, to stop lights, and flock systems; we live in a heavily surveillance state. Set a few parameters on the backend to ID/locate individuals such as yourself won't be difficult if the government really wanted to crackdown on "antifa."
Like some Europeans are doing, it's time for Americans to start dismantling the mobile flock stations as a start to regain privacy. I mean heck, if you googled where the no kinga rally was and still took all the precautions to hide yourself, you still left a digital footprint.
It's not shocking, but honestly surprised Amazon came late to the game. Surprise to no one, we already live in a heavy surveillance country. From our phones, to cars, TV's, computers, to shopping; we are all being watched. Yet, certain people lose their minds because Ring? Give me a kit-kat.
I believe it's the progressives who realize they're an extremely small minority within the DNC, so you must swallow a few bitter loads to get certain stuff you believe in through while making backroom deals you would never do.
Ultimately it is up to the American People to shift the Overton window to the left. It is possible, but won't be easy as Democrats cave to Corporations and the media being billionaire owned doesn't help when you're a progressive.
Nowhere in history did a fascist government cede power because the people demanded it. In the case of the USA, our modern rights and luxuries were fought with blood, tears, and death.
Having mass protest is a start, but if thats all we'll do, then we're fucked.
Just in time for mid term elections to sway the independent/on the fence voters away from voting Democrat.
While Democrats deserve their fair share of criticisms, it is nothing compared to how Republicans shifted their ideology to fascism/nazism. A vote for a republican is a vote for nazi's.
I really don't care what Amazon does with Ring's facial recognition. The populace doesnt give a fuck and trust me, I tried to give a damn but its like going up against a tide of stupidity that keeps smashing. No one bats an eye with Costco/WalMart/Target facial recognition software, let alone caring enough how companies like Apple sell your data or manipulate your wants/needs down to the pervasive marketing tactics that are threading the line of psyops.
Idiocracy came a lot sooner than expected and there is no closing that Pandora's box. I still try to refrain from and mask my digital footprint, but sadly with how how easily our data is passed around like a ladyboy aboard a navy ship, we're doomed
Look up a variety of celebrity sponsored projects that either fail or simply forgotten about as they good the good PR boost they needed. If Bale cared so much about Foster youth, he would had used his status and money to fund change at the policy making level.
Hate to break it to you but the media as ALWAYS been rightwing; the outlets are owned by Oligarchs who benefit the most from in-class fighting among citizens as long as theyre distracted from the wealth inequality.
People dumb enough to think they need to be notified of when their laundry is done, whether washing or drying, instead of being aware of their surroundings.
I got a dumb washer and dryer because why would I need to be notified? Once you do a cycle or two you know how long it'll take to finish.
Yeah, I tuned out after that. People expecting Kimmel to be on the same level as Jon Stewart or John Oliver are delusional. Kimmel is more like Fallon, just with better jokes.
Kimmel also glossed over how Erika Kirk's forgiveness was fake after, especially since it resembled a WWE broadcast.
