It isn’t that weird. Users have a very low tolerance for independence, especially as tech markets itself to less and less tech savvy userbases(like Gen alpha and z). They do what their screens tell them to for the most part.

Corrupt justice systems require alternative methods. Don’t want vigilante justice? Then ensure actual justice exists. Cops and politicians and rich ppl and connected ppl all corrupt justice by avoiding accountability. Trump being the POTUS twice over is all I need to know about whether the Justice system is about justice or something else, like oppression, coercion, intimidation and control.

Not really. The whole point is that they only feel uncomfortable when they can see it, so they fight to ensure it can’t be seen, not for it to not exist. The public are a disappointment clump of morons who constantly fuck over our collective futures.

Adolescents was low key trash. Well acted and good cinematography but it immediately looked like an adult afterschool special trying to make sure everyone believes the same thing about the subject matter. Ie, propaganda.

Real News doesn’t have any impact so why not just make shit up?

Then kick them the fuck out of office.

How much violence now exists in prisons?

Thinking is hard and ppl would prefer to feel, instead. When you just have to vibe with your AI that thinks for you, ppl will absolutely use it and disempower themselves under the illusion of empowerment. They will infantilize themselves and end up being treated like the children they want to be.

Yeah but sunglasses make it very visible so people can’t pretend it doesn’t exist and have to confront how it feels to experience living in a surveillance state. They don’t like that.
