Flock is a state sponsored terrorist organization.
The word 'terrorist' has lost all meaning at this point.
I had to double-check what Deflock was for:
DeFlock's mission is simple: to shine a light on the widespread use of ALPR technology, raise awareness about the threats it poses to personal privacy and civil liberties, and empower the public to take action.
This app makes it easy to view and report AI powered surveillance cameras, automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), and other surveillance infrastructure near you.
Sharing information about where cameras are located is terrorism now?
🙄
Careful! I think logic and questions are the new terrorist things to do! Oooo scarey!
Shit I just had a thought
Better ask chatgpt what to do about that.
You jest but this is my default behavior now
Shit from the title I thought they were going around smashing the cameras and that it was an exaggeration, but I was clearly wrong on the scale
It lost all meaning the second Bush declared the "War on Terror".
This is just a play out of the rules for radicals playbook: accuse others of what you are doing.

In the UK the term is defined by the government as anyone who is deemed by the government a threat to the government or the people or someone's property or the predominant local religion. But recently it's been exclusively used for the first one. In this country state law is valued higher than corporate, moral, ethical and religious laws, so YMMV

In the UK it means the cop wants your ID and is willing to pretend your camera is a gun to get it.
So we've moved on from Woke finally and just calling everything terrorist now? At least I won't have to ask everyone saying "everything is so woke now" to define woke and watch them sputter.
That will just be replaced with asking them to define terrorism and watching them sputter.
Feeling the need to state "they are closer to Antifa than anything else" about your opponents might be a good point to rethink your ethics...
So... Flock have literally described themselves as fascist...
Their self description fits their actions.
Their what?
This guy couldn't sound more fascist if he broke into German 1930s marching songs. This video should be used in education.
A big Fk U to all plebs coz I got all the money in the world
Why is he dressed like the joker?
... but the Joker if he sold fake life insurance in nursing homes.
