Facial Recognition has always been racist this is nothing new in a broad sense.

There's always been facial rec. In the old days, they recognized that "He looks black, that can't be his car."

At this point there is no voting your way back to normal anymore. As others have pointed out, the Democrats will ratchet their way further to the right in order to take office again, and the surveillance state will continue to expand under their authority (albeit somewhat less rapidly)

The lower classes must wake up to this reality and take meaningful steps to remove the ownership class from power once and for all. Holding signs and chanting in a public square during a weekend won't be enough, the rich and powerful must be in fear of losing their wealth and their lives.

My area got flooded with Flock cameras during Biden's last year. Both parties want the surveillance no question. But they also want to be in power. God I hate those cameras.

Serious question, with all this surveillance, would it become a thing to always wear a full mask in public.

I know, feels weird to ask that post pandemic, but here we are.

We aren’t post pandemic. They just want you to think we are.

We are though. COVID-19 strains have become endemic, which is the step after pandemic if the disease is not eradicated. So it's like the flu now.

A lot of cameras ID you by your eyes, so a medical mask wouldn't really work. If you use a mask + something like Reflectacles, you'll probably be okay.

Just disguise yourself as your favorite Buck Rogers character.

are you "there yet" America?

We're working on it, apparently.
