This seems like such a no brainer now that I hear this.
Probably because it takes a person with no brain to think this is a good idea.
Why worry about Xi Jinping spreading his Marxism in America when you can get Patriots on board with the social credit system via an authoritarian surveillance apparatus? First it was Police Officers, now Teachers, next it will be Blue Collar workers, and then everyone will be mandated to wear a state issued camera.
Who said anything about a social credit system? It appears you are the brainless one who “reads between the lines” and makes assumptions. With everything that we see around the world today, it is necessary that we have cameras in the classrooms. I’m not talking about camera surveillance in anyone’s private residences. Are you so dense you don’t understand that distinction? And please don’t give me the “slippery slope” argument. Things are not so black and white that they can be explained in that manner. And as for the police, why the hell should they NOT have body cams? It’s necessary to protect them from falsely being accused, or are you too dense to see that as well? Did I say they should install cameras in everyone’s residences? These are public places and situations which are being severely misused and being taken advantage of by bad parties. But nevermind, you continue with your worldview. Everyone who you don’t like is Xi now. You are no better than the scum who calls everyone they don’t like Nazis.
Anyone advocating for a 1984 surveillance state is a communist. It is that simple.
We need to rebuild trust in our communities, not replace trust with Marxism.
Didn’t expect anything else from someone who assumes everything is so black and white. How do you rebuild trust after the same system you are advocating brought us to this point? How do you implement any semblance of accountability? Again, every solution has pros and cons. But the same system that is responsible for bringing us here cannot bring us out of this shittty situation. So yes, some surveillance is necessary to bring about accountability. You keep thinking the world and it’s problems and solutions are so black and white that you can speak in such absolute terms, but that doesn’t change reality which is rife with gray. Not everyone and everything you disagree with is Marxist. You can keep strawmanning and conflating what I’m saying with “1984 type authoritarianism”, but that only exposes your naïveté and disillusioned worldview.
