It’s not as good as the headline sounds, but it’s even more important:
The city of Dayton, Ohio has covered its Flock automated license plate reader cameras with black trash bags in part because police there are unsure whether the cameras are still active and the city also doesn’t seem to know whether it is allowed to take the cameras down. The move comes after months of resident outrage, a scandal in which the city was sharing Flock camera data for immigration enforcement apparently on accident, and a $30,000 audit into how the cameras are being used.
It’s incredibly fucked up that cities don’t know who’s accessing the cameras and don’t know if they can legally remove them
We need to dismantle this shit and prosecute all the people who bribed them into the system. The reason it’s happening everywhere, is no one is being held accountable.
Start throwing people in actual blue collar prison for this shit, and the people giving and receiving the bribes won’t be so quick to do it.
As an aside, I grew up using the phrase “by accident” and I find that it has been slowly replaced with “on accident”. Back to the issue at hand, I totally agree with your sentiment.
The airplanes engine went out by accident when a part failed.
Or
The pilot forgot to deploy landing gear which caused a crash landing on accident
It’s about if someone made a mistake or if it was random chance.
People don’t understand it means two different things, and use them interchangeably. It was used incorrectly here, it should be “by accident” because that implies a human was at fault, “on accident” absolves everyone involved from blame.
Yeah, it’s honestly super interesting how language and word choice change perception.
I remember reading something a while ago that just due to the English language’s structure and various idiosyncrasies, just using it makes people more selfish.
And it’s happening on such a basic level, it’s almost impossible for people to notice. It just colors every communication in a veneer of “me first”.
They will never see prison or justice until the common people take back the power to put them there. This is their plan. Same shit, different venue. Financial, wage, privacy, surveillance, due process, and enforcement violations/transgressions/iniquities, all, point in the same direction.
Basically, “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.” Can only change through direct and persistent opposition and action against bad faith actors.
This hardly feels like a useful comment. It’s implied from the context that change here is shorthand for desirable change.
And if we are being pedantic, you are also wrong: there will be unspecified change, changes in fact, which may be good, bad, neutral or irrelevant. Also not a very constructive point to add: we all know this.

Never thought of it that way. Makes sense, now I don’t have to think it was the Mandela effect.

The trick is noticing when it happened two years ago…
Or at least realizing that as soon as billionaire media started shitting on the DNC was when people need to support it.
It’s just wild after finding out mainstream media covered for Biden and enabled trump…
They believe the billionaire owned media are really on our side for some stupid fucking reason
Basically, be gay and/or do crime. Your life depends on it.
We need the gayest of crimes to make a comeback. Stonewall style.
Essentially (and as usual), there needs to be consequences.
No consequences, no change.
So yes, you are right.
That’s wrong. Without consequences there will be change, always to the worse, always seeing if they can get away with even more insane things.
