Oh good to know. I guess we’ll just have to stick with the alternative. Do nothing and watch it happen anyway.
Or you could try to make ACTUAL change, instead of throwing temper tantrums like a child and encouraging others to get themselves in legal trouble that would affect the rest of their lives.
How many have you destroyed? Let me guess. Zero. Another internet tough guy who others to take the hit.
No, you have to go after the local politicians who keep approving these systems. Electorally of course, you psychos. Your local city council rep is going to feel much more pressure from an angry letter from a voter than your senator would.
I heard they're chock full of copper
Elected officials are loaded with copper.
Follow them around with cameras. They need to feel the dystopian pressure themselves
They will sue you for harassment. Keep in mind that when it's done to them, it's "different".
Or not, if push really comes to shove.
But you do have to recognize that you can't just break the fascade of the machine to get it to stop working.
Vote harder, libs!
Yes? The reason shit you don't like happens is because you refuse to a participate, you fucking dunce.
This is probably one of the few issues you could really get grass roots bipartisan support on these days. It would have to be marketed right though. Maybe something like "DEI cameras", or "6G posts".
Ignore the vote! If we don't vote, it delegitimizes the election and then the local government will be forced to ignore everyone that stayed home and still do the awful thing anyway because the winner is an open fascist.
Much better alternative!
