Welp.

Orwell warned us.

It’s kind of crazy that we’re already kind of there. I find myself constantly thinking about how I’m most likely being recorded at any given time I’m not at home. Even at home until I put my foot down and told my girlfriend her Ring cameras inside the house were to be put away unless we were on vacation.

And I’m old enough to remember when this feeling of being watched all the time was not a thing. I know it helps solve a lot of crimes, but honestly, I don’t care. I don’t think it’s worth it to live in a surveillance state.

Also, I’m a nudist. I go to nude resorts/beaches. People are going to be wearing these fucking things now and then uploading the video to the internet. NOT OK. Like, there’s an unspoken rule among nudists not to have phones out, and if someone does, people will confront them about it. But you can’t really protect against hidden fucking cameras in sunglasses.

I’m so tired of all this.

Or at least go full fucking Orwell with it and let me see the benefits.

Every fucking night someones shithead kids are out breaking into and stealing cars in my neighbourhood and every fucking day I have to dodge unregistered dirt bikes and unrestricted E-bikes on the roads just trying to go to work and do groceries like a regular boring asshole who has to obey all the fucking rules because if I beat the fuck out of the cunt in my driveway trying to get into my car and possibly steal it I’ll catch charges and if I dont pay all the registration costs, insurances and drive exactly as I’m told the government will destroy my livelihood.

Do something about the brainless fucks that cant live in a society FIRST and maybe I’ll complain less about the surveillance state.

We have been here for years, the NSA has been recording everything we say here in the U.S. for… a long time. I’m not actually clear on how long they’ve been doing it.

Also, I can buy a camera no wider than a penny and have it quite literally anywhere on my person without you knowing — unless nudists also have a rule where they drive to the nude beach naked, you’ve kinda been shit out of luck for a while there too.

Thank you for mentioning nude beaches. I’m a woman and I have a favorite nude beach I go to and people constantly have their phones/(camera) out and it’s not okay. If they’re confronted about it they’ll just respond that it’s a public placeand it’s legal to film in public. It’s out of control at this beach. It’s disgusting. A few weeks ago there was a man sitting staring at me for an hour (I was napping asleep, he was there before I fell asleep and he was still there when I woke up, still staring at me) and in retrospect I realize he was wearing these meta glasses. I told him firmly angrily to stop staring at me and he finally got up and left 😡
