I really, really hope people don’t go out en masse and destroy every single Flock camera that is unconstitutionally filming and profiling them, because it would be a terrible crime to do so. Definitely do not do this people.
Not American. What is flock? Is this like a ring doorbell? Are people suggesting to destroy personal property of their neighbours?
Or is this like some government cameras that are in public spaces filming ?
Government contracted cameras in public spaces.
Wow. Thanks for informing me. Stay safe guys
Please do, you’re point for the work all over the world (China may be already lost, or not, depending on how well you do), London likely too. Also, please, sustained (go nuts on Samhain though, keen symbolism) but after Flock, there will be subtler versions, expecting you to lose momentum and just fade. They will be detectable, vulnerable.
Want to know why all the AI (GPU) centres are being built? Deliberately or not they will be used to process camera feeds (why let that compute go to waste).
The tree of freedom is watered in the blood of patriots. Well actually, get the other side to bleed, or preferably convert, good cause and all. The principle of being bloody serious about it when oligarchs (or upper class British) have control still stands. Step forth, the only thing you have to lose is a future of climate fire. And possibly next weeks meals, but history is replete with cases where that paid off (or not, bloody anarchist truth tendencies)
Why wait 2 months? Just do it whenever it’s convenient.
People ask this for every boycott or nationwide movement. The real answer is that more people do it if more time is given.
Theres a reason those facebook posts or tiktoks of “We’re boycotting ___ right now indefinitely!” Never really gain traction. Having one day where normies get to join in too and the data gets a sharp spike in activity is how change is noticed and effective.
“5 flock cameras are cut down nationwide weekly” is much less evocative than “On Halloween, 50,000 flock cameras were taken down in 3 hours” or something
It’s a night you can freely walk round with a mask on
I also heard that people are focusing on a Spiderman costume in particular. It’ll be popular since the movie just came out and it has full face coverage. You can also order a size larger and wear extra clothes to hide your real body size.
Just don’t forget to leave any electronic devices at home.
Looking at ICE, any night is.
I really feel like you could astroturf MAGA rednecks into destroying flock cams with the right propaganda campaign. And probably a bunch of other shit they think they believe in. But there are conservative think tanks already engaged in this type of online propaganda pushing them in the other direction.
Flock will be on the alert October 31.
But I have observed you can wear a Halloween costume, including masks, any day starting October 1st without attracting (the bad kind of ) attention or seeming out of place. It’s fun, economical (get more use out of costume) and I encourage everyone to do it as often as feasible. Whether you deflock your neighborhood or just provide cover for those who do, you’ll also be confusing the cameras and messing with the data.
They can “be on the alert” on Halloween and it wouldn’t matter. Not like they can post a cop at all 200,000 of their cameras.
ALRIGHT THAT’S THE CORRECT WAY TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN, LETS FUCKING GO.
Americans rediscover the origins Carnival and Saturnalia.
Guessing you mean:
During these festivities, there was a temporary release from social obligations and hierarchies to make way for the overthrow of order, joking and debauchery.
?
Which is… yeah, the whole origins of “trick-or-treat”. Not sure it quite needs rediscovering.
I’m dressing as a Flockjack for Halloween! I wouldn’t mind Halloween shifting to be an annual purging by the people of government surveillance.
We could just cut out the middle man and purge the rich.
Take back control, people
Practical Democracy
inb4 Mr Perennial Pumpkin cancels Halloween
My kinda trick or treat.
