Comment on definitely not recording!
kolmaskommentoija@sopuli.xyz 2 days agoIf your version of preventing surveillance state depends on getting angry mobs to beat up innocents, you definitely need some better ideas and planning. And insulting random people on the internet, without offering anything valuable to the discussion, does not shine a good light on your character.

Great, you’ve completely made up a circumstance in your head.
It takes one person to smash a pair of these glasses, not an angry mob. Nobody but you said anything about an angry mob, the circumstances are punch + smash the glasses into the ground.
It’s always fucking hyperbole with people like you, meanwhile these fucking idiots are getting a free pass to fill the world with cameras. Kindly, fuck off.

Did you not read my, or the other posters, comments? You are missing the point we both made. Let me try again.
There are a lot of stupid people. Trying to get a lot of people to punch glassholes, will lead those stupid people to also punch people with VR glasses. Which then leads to stupid people actually punching people with glasses. But because they are stupid, they cannot tell which ones are wearing VR glasses, or that someone wearing VR glasses might have them as an accessibility device, and not as pervert glasses. So they will punch people who have glasses, that to them, look like VR glasses, but are not.
A lot of blind people wear sunglasses, that can look like VR glasses, in places people do not usually wear sunglasses. This means, getting a lot of stupid people, to punch people with glasses, will lead to a lot of innocent people - especially blind ones - not releated to glassholes in anyway, getting targeted and punched, just for existing in a public place. A lot of people punching random people indiscriminately for wearing glasses, because they hate glassholes, is an angry mob. Thus, that plan leads to an angry mob, punching a lot of innocent people.

I did read your comments hence the term HYPERBOLE.
How often do you see people saying ‘punch nazis’ around here? How often does it actually happen? Not as much as it should, but here you are saying ‘Oh my gosh this behavior is going to lead to a chain reaction of events that harms MARGINALIZED and DISABLED PEOPLE and there is NO OTHER way that this will play out. These glasses are INDISTINGUISHABLE from regular glasses, and if you punch them it will INEVITABLY lead to BLIND PEOPLE BEING ABUSED!’
Hyperbole: figure of speech that uses deliberate, extreme exaggeration to emphasize a point, evoke strong emotions, or add humor - not meant to be taken seriously.
I do not take this line of reasoning seriously, because it isn’t. It is very obvious when these cameras are pointed at you, and truth be told — I don’t think a blind person gets a pass for being a pair of cameras gathering data on whatever they happen to be looking at. In fact I would advise blind people stay away from these glasses, but who knows — maybe blind people are particularly selfish and don’t give a shit about contributing to a less safe world.
I, for one, wasn’t thinking I’d punch them and smash their glasses. I was thinking I’d just shoot paintballs at their face. So you can go ahead and determine whether being punched in the face or have glass shattered into your eye by a paintball is worse.

Do you honestly believe, that all the people you have met in person, would be able to tell the difference between a glasshole with their VR glasses, and a random blind person wearing sunglasses? Sure, in this discussion it is a hyperbole, but people manage to cause these stupid mob mentality things every now and then. Like reddit, and misidentifying the Boston bomber. Or all the canceling, harassing and doxxing, that has ended up targeting someone innocent. Just the other day, I saw some post about a documentary or something, about how pedo hunters managed to murder some completely unrelated person.
Real life is not a movie, people get permanently disabled and even die from a single punch, even in stupid, drunken bar fights all the time. If a random person reads that comment about punching, and decides it is actually a good idea - do you think that one, is definitely one of those, who will be able to actually recognize the VR glasses? Inciting violence online, and managing to cause even a single moron, to assault and possibly kill innocent people, makes you responsible for that as well. If you think that is okay, you should think about your values, and what sort of a person you really want to be.
I do hope you can find some healthier outlet for your anger, than insulting randoms, and writing violent fantasies online.
