Kylie Jenner ads at bus stops for google glass are some sci fi dystopia shit on their own. They Live was exactly about this.

It shows that the people creating this are totally disconnected from reality and surrounded by sycophants.

It's still boggles my mind that the foundation of the Kardashian/Jenner business empire is a (probably intentionally) leaked sex tape.
in reply to HulkSmashBurgers

Wait fr? That's crazy\
I never understood why they were popular at all

Same here. Such a weird level of social "power" given to them without actual reason. At least the old capitalist families actually had functionally important capital control with oil, land, industrial production. The Kardashian/Jenner families are just famous and rich for being famous and rich. And they (and many others like them) have inspired so many people to aspire to get famous and rich via clout chasing instead of anything else. Becoming a plague of thinking they are smart about stuff just because of their follower count.

Isn't this an ad from a country that has the most cameras on the street watching people and tracking their movements m
in reply to krisevol

lol yeah, although not sure if UK or the US have more cameras at this point

The UK by density for sure, but total would be America

Yeah the massive amounts of land that have no towns or even houses in the western half of the USA throws the density curve pretty dramatically. Makes it seem like the USA isn't the surveillance state it really is, while making other smaller (land wise) surveillance states seem worse. With the density looking less problematic, it really lets the frog that is the American populace not notice the water getting closer to boiling.
in reply to d-RLY?

Shanghai and Beijing together do laps around the amount of cameras in the UK and US combined.

Cmon I know you guys like to be dishonest but that's just not true

in reply to deft

So what you're saying is huge amount of surveillance is a-okay, as long as some other country has more. Gotcha.

London is literally third on the list bud. And of course, we have to consider the lack of transparency of the US regime here as well.

Who is first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth?

Also what's the overall population of China vs the overall population of the UK?

C'mon man there's no argument here. Just stop.

in reply to deft

When you definitely understand how per capita works. 🤣
in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

There is an estimated 500 cameras per 1000 people in China vs 100 per 1000 people in the UK.

You can try to skew the stastic by trying to hammer on London, the most populated city, but you know you're just lying lol. I'm not arguing with you, you're arguing with the truth.

I'm done here, you're disingenuous and don't understand numbers I guess or population density.

in reply to deft

I love how you keep digging in here. Turns out that the amount of cameras in China is very comparable with UK with London being right up there with Chinese cities. Instead of admitting being wrong, you just continued to double down and making a further clown of yourself. The utter lack of self awareness here is really a cherry on top.
in reply to deft

I love how you trolls always end up throwing a tantrum when called out on your bullshit. Keep on malding it suits you.
in reply to deft

thought you were done, but I guess you just can't shut up having been caught lying can you
in reply to krisevol

Uhhhh pretty sure China holds that title by a long shot my dude
in reply to deft

In absolute numbers probably but due to size and population China tops most lists of absolute numbers so it's not really an informative metric. In terms of per capita I'm 90% sure the US leads China in CCTV cameras.
in reply to 秦始皇帝

No China just laps entirely. To have such a large population and also dominate the statistic of cameras per 1000 citizens mean they have millions of more cameras.
in reply to deft

Have proof for that because I have articles that state the US is ahead per capita and you seem to just be saying things?

However, if you count the number of cameras per capita, the USA leads the race with the highest number of CCTV cameras per person.

in reply to deft

I literally quoted the link? Did you read it or just skip to the city comparison? Illiterate much?

People are going to react to this with a knee-jerk "nuh uh!" because you're being a smug reddituer about it, but I'm going to take a different approach. China actually invests in its infrastructure so obviously it's going to have more and newer cameras, simply because it's actually building and expanding. In China you might be surveilled in one of the more than 1000 high speed rail stations. In the UK it might be in one of four, or more likely a low speed train station. In the US it might be a bus station.

That's the difference. When countries are growing and building, they're installing cameras. Every country is going to install more and more cameras forever, the only countries that won't are the ones that are in decline. China is growing and building faster than anyone, so they're going to have more cameras. This needs to be taken into account.

I don't really know how popular that movie is with people who aren't into subvertising... I don't think it's very popular, I don't know if people will get the reference.
in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

I, thought, the monsters in They Live were aliens, but I think they’re a metaphor for the parasitic wealth class.
in reply to heartSagan5

Full Movie if you want to join the discussion.

Definitely a metaphor.
