Driving a Mercedes EQS with 360 cameras this week it crossed my mind that the cars have immense surveillance potential for, good and bad, and found this. "Over the past weeks tech people, right wing figures and the media have been freaking out about Waymos being set on fire in downtown Los Angeles. The Waymos were burned during the weekend’s protests against ICE. A lot of people online seem deeply confused about the burnings of the cars. So, I'm going to break down why there's so much anti-Waymo sentiment, the rise of surveillance technology at protests, and how it all affects free speech."
To me... they're all mostly a waste of money. But I figured you might have abandoned your socialist ideals and finally tried to make something of yourself. Just kidding Tux... I know you'll never give up socialism. Meanwhile, Taylor Lorenz videos? Really?
Oh fuck off, or fuck Treefrog and at least that will keep your hands off the keyboard. Really, get a room you too. Protest troubles you in ways likely explained by events in you childhood. War, you have never experienced, can't grasp and go on about. Your poorly considered take on everything.. Sheesh. They are also being burned as job stealers and other reasons. If I post a video it's because I fucking watched it and thought it interesting to actually smart people.
Socialism ideas are good for the rich. Not socialism, but some of it. And Taylor Lorenz popularised OK Boomer so she has earned her place. As an investigative reporter she has actually investigated and got results.
While you are at it why not burn every single device which can provide surveillance information to the police; Ring doorbells, home security cameras, dash cams, business CCV cameras, Flock community cameras, Google street view mapping cameras in cars, fixed point news cameras, traffic cameras and all the rest. We live in a surveillance based western world. You best get used to it without trying to burn everything down. If you dislike technology taking jobs and changing the world then you will dislike irrelevance even more. Luddites have no future.
Watch the video. You may just solve everything by biting the pillow, others look to creating data privacy laws. "Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something." possibly Plato.
