If you want to see what an ultrmodern police state looks like, read this investigative article by the AP on the Chinese crackdown on the Uighurs.
"Crackdown" is an understatement. It's more like stamping on the faces of everyone, repeatedly. Digital tracking of everyone. Forced DNA collection. Collective punishment of family members. "Re-education" and secret executions. Requiring government bureaucrats to live in people's homes for a period of time to conduct at-home indoctrination.
Orwell didn't have the half of it. And somewhere, there are old Stasi members, shaking their heads over their glasses of brandy or beer and saying: "Man, that's some really intensive shit."
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
A recent article in The Guardian discussed a reporter who was located within a major city in just 8 minutes using their CCTV network. The facial recognition software is making this a snap...real soon, we’ll be looking back on the 70’s and 80’s as the last free times. With cell phones in the 90’s, the tracking began in ernest, and now it’s a breeze for authorities.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful that I grew up in an era where we were free to be young and stupid, so long as we didn't get arrested or do something so stupid as to make the paper.
ReplyDeleteThose days are gone, probably forever.
