What do these idiots think they’re gonna do when a good chunk of the population loses their homes and comfortable lives because of them?
They buy your houses from you and rent them right back to you. That’s what Nestle has done with the poor farmers and all their land (not just their houses) in Romania.
The world is beyond capitalism. It is a new feudalism now. Yanis Varoufakis was right.
They employ even more police (and more guns for them), so that you don’t get no funny ideas.
But if you get funny ideas anyway, they have surveillance of all phones and internet. You have read your George Orwell, haven’t you?
It is giving false ideas.
As we can see here in the comments, people understand it as security. But it is only a method for identification.
It cannot tell you who carries the knife. Even if it’s connected to the databases of three letter agencies (or worse), it can only produce suspicion. Which is false, most times, and helps only the ones who sell surveillance tech.
And even for identification it is less reliable than people like to think.
