It really occurs to me that this emphasis on surveillance (Palantir, this Discord stuff, the cameras everywhere, etc.) really shows how afraid the billionaire class is. They’re trying to identify those that are getting uppity to try and prevent organizing, which they hope would quash revolution. They know people are angry; they know they’ve been looting and pillaging; they know they’ve been denying access to basic things like food, housing, healthcare; and they know they work for hostile interests. Yet, they’re going to keep on doing it. They even have a new police force.

It never works though.
