I have come to the conclusion that nobody read my post before downvoting. Do you people think I'm pro car? Do you think I'm pro-surveillance? I said she shouldn't be driving, I said I hate the surveillance state, what's wrong with you people? Why are you arguing against those positions that I didon't not advocate for, which I attacked myself? It's genuinely distressing, I'm reading over and over my words and trying to figure out if I misspelled something, but no, I think not a single person read it, it's incredible.

Did you not read what I wrote? Did no one? You quoted it, but you missed the part where I said she doesn't deserve to drive.

I'm not talking about the right to drive cars, I'm talking about the right to privacy, and the freedom of speech and assembly - there can be no freedom of expression in an open society of the government in power can see and hear and track and record every moment of your life and everyone else's. There is no room for dissent when your every step is followed by an invisible thug of the state.

I'll admit to a mistake when one is made, but because I was right I will only admit to that. In not some guardian of truth, I just have a good opinion, which you and everyone else didn't seem to understand or agree with, either because you're illiterate or like the surveillance state.

It is no more radical a thing to suggest today than it would be two or three hundred years ago, because it was a common sentiment among the early Liberal radicals.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" - Ben Franklin.

Yet I recognized that, in this specific instance, the evil and corrupt government run by apocalypticist genocidal pedophiles did manage to catch someone doing a bad thing, which was good in that particular instance.

I thank you for nothing but wasting my time.

Copying this from another reply, because it fits both:

I'm saying that it's good that she was ticketed. I still don't like having cameras everywhere watching and tracking your every move and every word. This was an instance of a bad system producing a good outcome, just as brutal American police officers who rape and pillage sometimes arrest murderers as well.

You people, fools, sheeps and dogs, do not have the reading comprehension to it understand my sentiment, yet you falsely accuse me of failing to read.

Yes, and I'm saying that it's good that she was ticketed. I still don't like having cameras everywhere watching and tracking your every move and every word.

I am not a fan of the all-seeing panopticon, personally. That said, I personally feel much more entitled to good public transit and walkable neighborhoods than to a car.

The point of propaganda is to make you stupid. Everyone has been exposed to propaganda of one form or another throughout their life, anyone is susceptible. You don't have to be stupid to fall for it, but when you do, you are a little (or a lot) more stuoid.

They're booing you because you're right.
