People are unwilling to imagine what can be done with the kind of power that total surveillance could offer an entity. And they are much less willing to voice any such conjecture for fear of their reputation.
Yet the threat is there for every one of us. As 'technology' progresses, what is required of us in our service to society and our lives in general is narrowed down further and lessened. Perhaps our bodies will never be obsolete in service to society, but many of our faculties have been obsoleted since the beginning of civilization. How much of your instinctual behavior can you give up before you reach a critical point and lose your identity? Before everything you are starts to fall apart? This is what every one of us should be reflecting on thoroughly each and every day. I think that most people, if they really pressed this question, would realize there is a very real danger to survival in going on the way things are.
Make no mistake: even the group of leaders with the best intentions would eventually fall prey to the temptation to use this data from total surveillance to 'guide economic efficiency'. The 'easy fixes' to the system that this data can provide is too valuable to resist, regardless of the trade-offs in freedom for all people, especially the politically unaware.
Total surveillance is the real-life version of the One Ring and our society has decided to keep it and use it
Bringing democracy back into the hands of simple good people ("hobbits") is our only hope now. In governance there is no substitute for the good intentions of people who live a simple life and care most about happiness
Sorry user it would seem that mass surveillance, basic human rights, and the future of all man kind is not on the agenda tonight.
Maybe you would be better off posting some traps or little kids.

This place is even worse since whatever takeover just happened.
Pretty sure this site is directly run by some government agency now.
Jonathan Phillips
Government agencies don't need to be in charge of anything when the data is already there and can be bought and or stolen. You think the cunts running anything here have money? Or are mentally stable for that matter? I promise you they are easily manipulable by gov agencies. Why even compromise your cover when you can impersonate other people online and use that to manipulate people and plant ideas. You think Hotwheels was prepared for that level of psych warfare? No. But if history has anything to say about it that is probably the type of things going on here.
The real problem here is the way peoples post styles, opinions, discussion topics, and memes are being influenced by the heavy shill traffic. There no longer seems to be enough dedicated posters to keep up with the shills and they are slowly overrunning all quality content
Chase Torres
Consider that they are not shills as in humans, but that they are probably computer programs.
"AI" is the assurance that anonymous free speech is impossible. It will be the death of free speech, if not all speech.
It really begs belief that the people perpetrating this phenomenon do not guess that this could be the destruction of all humanity. They must be under intense pressure. There must be some hope for their downfall.
Justin Turner
Become technocrats or become slaves. Governments don't own technology. Genie is out of the bottle and there is no putting it back in. This is a great time to be alive if you're not a technologically illiterate nigger.
Jaxson Mitchell
Governments intercept and monitor all communications, are developing algorithms for precrime, removing what little freedoms people had left, police have a free pass to kill and intimidate whoever they want, history is being removed from schools, everyone knows about all this and is to cucked to speak the fuck up and say anything about it
Isaiah Wilson
pretty much this
but on the other hand, you can do something about it
inciting chaos seems to be viable
Lincoln Jackson
The numbers have spoken
Nathaniel Foster
Government here. Don't just stand aside, become politically active. Its relatively easy. Its time to stop being a kid and take the power.
Just do it. Remember, most newcomers get corrupted by power almost instantly, don't be one of those faggots, play the long game.

It's the system itself that needs to be changed.

what kind of thing would even post something like that? what is with all these replies that have context from outer space?
Parker Morales
SHHHHHH ONLY SHILLS NOW

That really rustled my jimmies
Juan Long
nah it just doesn't make sense from a cognitive perspective. Like some one just typed random thoughts into this thread randomly

William Thompson
Yes, we live in a society of whiners. It is reinforced as a good thing.
The only alternative seems to be random acts of violence.
Colton Sanchez
nice tinfoil
Grayson King
nice total unawareness of the world
Justin Perry
Violence is effective too, as long as its not nigger tier, one will never be able to punish (them) where it hurts by targeting the pawns, think Unabomber and Monster with 21 Faces.
That's very interesting. Yes of course rioting cannot be constructive because public opinion on the matter can be captured wholly.
The most effective maneuvers will always be like Snowden's, but that is only a 50/50 hit. The majority will be the enemy for some time to come, it seems.
Robert Myers
Maybe now that the surveillance state is going to BTFO pedos we can talk about this shit?
