Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on

[-] RockBottom@feddit.org 3 points 8 hours ago

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

Fuck Larry Ellison. I bet his mom didn’t breast feed him enough & his dad never tucked him in at night

I know you're not supposed to anthropomorphize the lawnmower, but man, I really hate this lawnmower.

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

[-] Aneorthisio@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 day ago

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

[-] themurphy@lemmy.ml 77 points 1 day ago

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

This right here, broadcast it 247 streaming. See rhe secret meetings, see the doublecross, see the payoffs, finally meet the GOP gay lovers

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 day ago

would we care, though?

we literally have hundreds of millions of documents between the epstein files and the freedom of information act files themselves detailing the behavior of the ruling class manipulating and manufacturing propaganda and we collectively ignore them nonetheless.

[-] irotsoma@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 22 hours ago

Nah, just freely share all of it with all of the other rich people. Let them get angry and jealous and destroy each other when they realize how much they're purposely screwing each other over.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

it's not only already freely shared, but both it's distribution is legally mandated since the 1960's and has been in the public domain since the 1970's; yet here we are with the overwhelming majority willfully ignorant of it because it contradicts our indoctrination and it's not spoonfed to the masses by tv or smartphone.

Do we really care about any reality stars? Fire them out a cannon into a mountain all I care, wait that I'd watch closest to hit the bullseye with their billionaires body still screaming wins

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

reality stars aren't members of the ruling class

Again missing the big picture, and who shit in your Cheerios tgis morning? Just havin fun blowin off steam and debbie fuckin downer here, shit

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

i think i've finally found someone with a stranger sense of humor than my own. lol

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

If you want to be number 1, you gotta be odd.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago

i had no idea there was a competition. lol

[-] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 4 points 1 day ago

A reality TV show I’d actually watch.

[-] Thorry@feddit.org 21 points 1 day ago

Literally 1984

[-] peoflor@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

He looks like homelander son

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 day ago

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

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago

Gonna start calling it late-stage liberalism.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Can't we call it the class war?

[-] RockBottom@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

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

[-] s38b35M5@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Quiet part out loud used to be career ending.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 day ago

~~Citizens~~ proles will be on their best behavior.

[-] LetThereBeNick@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

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?

[-] patient_tech@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Only the middle class will be worried about this. Larry was obviously never broke. When you’re broke with no options, you don’t care. What are they going to sue, sue you when you’re already in a stack of debt? Take away the house and car you don’t own? Get you removed from your crappy job you hate anyway? I don’t see that as a plan the works out like they expect it to. It’s only when you have something to lose you’re worried about losing things. When you’re starting with nothing, there’s nothing they can take from you. Their plan doesn’t account for that.

If your murder a CEO the state will provide you with free housing & food. Something to think about...

Crap, didnt see your comment before I made mine

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

When you have nothing to lose, you finally become free for the first time in your life.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

the upper echelons of the middle class are the reason why this fuckery keeps going on.

[-] Godort@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

Someone already had that idea 200 years ago, Larry. It doesn't work.

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.

Also,

"You already have zero privacy - get over it." - Scott McNealy

SM was founder of Sun Microsystems. Ironic part is... Sun had very little to do with the total destruction of privacy. Not compared to Google, Meta, Tiktok, and some 100's of data broker companies nobody heard of but sit in the shadows and amass dossiers of every single human being.
