Disingenuous bullshit for 300 Alex.

So? Matrix rules motherfucker, I don’t care if you’ve been manipulated into trying to kill me, I just care that you’re trying to kill me and it’s not my responsibility to deprogram your death cult ass. Fuck em, every last one.

That’s what all the industrial biowaste incinerators they’ve been buying are for.

Careful, lemmings hate it when you point out that voters and non voters are responsible for the government we have, or that it’s largely a reflection of the culture and society we propagate.

As long as context is clearly explained and sources named I don’t disagree. But they’ve been less than reliable about that in the past. If you repeat propaganda (even if it’s more or less true) without explaining that it’s propaganda by providing relevant context then you are a propagandist.

That they were/are pretty pro Russia and have uncritically disseminated Russian agitprop intended to destabilize the US.

Isn’t that the whole point of the AI push? To get us fully into that level of surveillance state, and to have it automated? Flock is doing its part but really they don’t need cameras to track people anymore.

Been that way since before the founding. We have a half dozen examples of groups that were kicked out of their home countries for being too hateful setting up shop here. It’s a fundamental part of the culture. Brainwashing implies the (forcible) changing of one’s thoughts and opinions. That’s largely not applicable here since it’s all baked in from the get go.

You didn’t get hugged much as a child huh?

When speed cameras were first introduced they led to an uptick in accidents because people would brake suddenly when they saw the camera and get rear ended. This still happens but thought out implementation seems to result in a net reduction in collisions but more data is needed. All this is to say the primary purpose of speed cameras is still revenue generation.

Do you have evidence that speed cameras with fines are clearly proven to “keep people from getting killed” because I’m pretty sure their primary purpose is revenue generation.

Edit: looking into it, it seems the majority of the available data generally indicates a reduction in collisions and fatalities but apparently the methodology across the various studies has been pretty inconsistent so there’s no hard numbers. But apparently they range from no reduction at all to 70 percent from my glancing at the data, apparently how many cameras how far apart and how far from the high traffic incident area are the main determining factors in reducing accidents. I may have overlooked it but I didn’t actually see anywhere that shows the speed reduction after camera introduction though.

It’s backed up by all available data so whether or not it makes sense to you it’s the truth and the reality. Keeping up with the flow of traffic is always safer.

That would disproportionally affect the working poor.

So depending on how fast the flow of traffic is going, the person going the speed limit is the one creating the dangerous situation. If everyone else is driving sixty in a thirty and you’re driving thirty, you’re the one that’s going to cause a wreck. In many jurisdictions keeping with the flow of traffic actually supersedes posted speed limits.

A significant percentage of Americans have always been plenty hateful, no brainwashing necessary.

As an aside the recent trend of using compute as a noun instead of a verb really pisses me off, it’s so goddamn stupid.

If the punishment is a static fine it’s only illegal for the poor.

Half of Hispanic men voted for Trump. 1 in 5 black men voted for Trump. Agricultural workers overwhelmingly vote republican. We all deserve what we’re getting for letting it fuckin happen in the first place, hell even now half of Americans think both parties are the same. So yeah, they fuckin deserve it. So do you. So do I. So does every US American.

They deserve what they voted for, farmers overwhelmingly vote for republicans.

We lost containment because doge cut funding while beef snuggling in Mexico has ramped up, so it’s not just Trump’s fault. But he saw a brush fire and poured gas on it. Beef is going to a luxury for wealthy Americans. Just like pets are becoming. Somebody noticed that the bottom half of the country functionally does not participate in “the economy” so their solution is to eliminate them. Letting the screw fly run loose helps that goal.
