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.
I can tell you exactly how NOT to rebuild trust. Subject American workers to a draconian surveillance system that will scrutinize their every action, and subject them to unreasonable risk of doxing and harassment by third parties who obtain copies of the surveillance data.
And we cannot run from one form of Marxism right into another of our own making.
No. Surveillance is ONE method of FORCIBLY obtaining accountability through the violation of basic human rights and privacy. It is not the ONLY method. If you want to know what teachers are teaching, audit their lesson plans and curriculum, request assignment samples from each lesson, require a paper trail, join the school board, sit in on school meetings, etc. It requires more effort, and it takes longer, but it maintains the dignity, privacy, and human rights of the worker, and the safety of the students and staff. It also builds RELATIONSHIPS and TRUST.
That is the difference between people like you and I. People like you are willing to compromise freedom and liberty because the end justifies the means for you. People like me believe that one should never compromise on their tenets or sacrifice freedom and liberty to obtain a desired result. If we sacrifice our freedom and liberty in the fight against Marxism, what the fuck have we accomplished? In another generation we will be right back where we started with a new Deep State and Cabal using the very tools we created to fight them against us. Make no mistake, this technology WILL be used against Americans. If you set a precedent with Teachers, what is stopping every CEO in America from requiring all employees to wear cameras, or have them mounted to their work stations? The rabbit hole will never end. You are opening a can of worms the likes of which you know not the depths, or the consequences.
Choose the better option. Choose liberty, freedom, dignity, and TRUST. It takes a leap of faith to restore trust in humanity. Its not meant to be easy.
I'm not strawmanning or conflating anything. Spying on American workers is textbook communism.
Yea, I can see you are desperately going to cling to your absolute worldviews and will engage in all kinds of mental gymnastics to justify that. I have already said my piece. You can have the last word, it’s clearly very important to you. I don’t have more time to waste on trying to explain this much further.
