L m a fuckin o. The dystopia never ends. I was walking around the other day, and a profound sense of disappointment and sadness got to me, we have incredible technology, a beautiful world full of so many interesting and wonderful people, and yet a small number of them are hell bent on ruining it. Mass surveillance, shitty companies, fascism on a final rise, and being speed run in the US, AI, not used to help, but to spy, market, and steal more money from people who have little. It could be amazing, a utopia, instead just exploitation. :(

Maybe posters on poles letting neighbors know that ICE is using their ‘private’ cameras to surveil them and their neighbors
