    So what’s the strategy besides just being upset on the internet?

    The reason the fight against Flock is working is because people have something tangible to go to council meetings and target.

    Even with that it took several years to get our community to turn against Flock and get our village to cancel their contract and have the cameras removed. Trumps goons actually ended up succeeding where we couldn’t.

    If you’re going to tell the people actually getting shit done they’re doing it wrong you should offer more than just criticism.

      I’ve said it multiple times …

      We need to fight against the concept of constant warrantless surveillance.

      I don’t know what’s so hard to understand about that, and frankly can’t think of an easier way to explain it.

      I think you’re just gonna have to accept you can’t understand that, and I’ll accept I’m not able to explain basic concepts to you.

      It is what it is. Best of luck.

        How about you share the strategies you have executed at council meetings to achieve this goal? And you can share what the solution to the problem looked like in the end.

        That way we can all try to emulate your success.

          Noooooononono… you don’t understand, they want you to formulate a strategy so they can steal it from you and claim it’s theirs for future arguments! Silly person you!

            I’m going to bet their fight against surveillance never goes beyond internet criticism of other people’s fight against surveillance.

              I wouldn’t take that action with someone else’s money. I’m positive you’re 100% correct
