It’s the same as speaking out against Facebook or TikTok practices but not supporting consumer protection.

It’s lip service! They don’t actually disagree with anything that Flock is doing. They’re hoping that dumb voters will confuse their concerns with Flock (getting caught) for their actual positions (dystopian surveillance state), something grossly unpopular if people actually voted.

I personally know plenty who are dumb enough to believe that these people have their interests at heart. It works, and that’s why they do it. Politicians see Flock as a sinking ship. They see an opportunity to deflect and distract from their own nefarious goals. Flock goes down in the medium-term while they wait with open arms for the next generation of tools that they will use to crush dissent and make you afraid to leave your own house.

Indeed. He’s secretive and staunchly anti-transparency.

He’s firmly in the pocket of corporatism.

I thought lying was his job.

That’s the neat part!

I want to see results in actual polls that matter: people voting and supporting candidates that disagree with his values.

It’s true that there have been some impressive wins in some elections, but at least in my state, it remains an intense Republican stronghold. Believe me, I’d love for that to change, but it seems highly unlikely. Support remains overwhelming in the only way that matters and that is continuing control by the party because voters still feel confident enough in Republicans. Hence, my family is planning on moving out of state to someplace that aligns better with the our values. I don’t appreciate threatening members of my family as part of their political rhetoric.

I want to see a firm and unequivocal rejection of his hateful and self-destructive values through voting and protests. This is what I expect to see. It’s not nearly enough.

I’ll believe it when I see it. There are still many millions, something close to one in three that decisively support him last time I read. They’re fully indoctrinated and reject anything that would challenge their worldview. They even reject their own eyes.

Usually you have this thing called due process that helps you figure out whether or not the accused are actually criminals.

I’m more concerned about this case setting horrific precedence for violating the privacy of a citizen.

We basically don’t have rights anymore as it is.

That takes guts, Major Jason Watson.

It’s way worse than that, because they get more value per unit of spend. This further confirms that China is way out in front.

U.S. dominance is in question.

I think we’re past this point, too. We no longer value or understand our position.

Alex Pretti was murdered.

Say it with me. This was no “shooting.”

And it’s going to keep happening again and again.
