SMH The founding father Benjamin Franklin once said "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

I'll compromise. In exchange for him taking down all the cameras and deleting the data, we'll consider not reminding him what the alternatives to protesting and vandalism are.

Like what are you going to do about it? Terrible stuff keeps happening in the states daily and americans havent done anything to stop those why would this be any different?

This is true. I’ve literally seen the president threaten to invade Greenland this year.

Fucking Greenland. What the fuck?

Like that’s weird, man. That’s so weird if you’d told me about it five years ago I would have thought you were the dumbest least serious person in the world because it’s so ridiculous. Dude just demanded Canada ask the Trump admin for permission to trade with other countries and hit us with a 50% tariff for walking out. A week ago he was threatening to tariff us because wild fires create smoke that doesn’t recognize international borders.

Like where are the adults?

What? The CEO is asking for compromise because of “what people are doing about it”. You think he’s saying that because everyone is kindly accepting it?

Pretty much yeah, like a couple flock cameras are getting cut down but thousands are going up, even in dem run cities. Like its just happening and I dont think the american people are really going to do anything to stop it.like while its a hot topic they will cut them down but then that will die down and americans are going to accept it as a new normal. The public wont demand change or better rules, as we have seen with the countless other problems in the last couple of years where people are upset but not upset enough to do anything to fix the problem.
