  haha you can’t use them, because you don’t pay, but the government gets a free universal pass. Glorious. Just as the Founding Fathers would have intended.

  Anyone who willingly installs these things is part of the problem.

    Well, same for ICE: the fuzz is generally supposed to work for the good of the community, but ICE is working against it, yet you pay for it in your taxes.

    The camera too works against you, but through Amazon, not directly.

    Shit working against you is a theme these days…

      The story generally sold is that the fuzz is supposed to work for the good of the community, but the fuzz has always been meant to legitimize the property of the ownership class with the state’s monopoly on violence.
