Wish my town would ban Flock. They are popping up everywhere and it's disgusting. It amazes me how tolerant the general public is of this.

To be honest, most of the public has no idea they even exist.

Unfortunately, the general public has been sedated with ultra-processed and fast food, movies, games, and culture wars.

And having to live paycheck to paycheck, and the threat of armed, government-sanctioned violence.

What the public don't know about they can't complain about.

Flock started this campaign to proliferate their camera and surveillance equipment with a bunch of propaganda and probably just straight up bribes.

The public didn't know what was happening and now they do know and there's a growing number of people advocating against these cameras as a result.
