A Little Aside About Blue Lights

In response to this.

See those little guys winking all over the city? Looking at you, looking at your car, at your house, recording your actions point-to-point all over the city...Do you remember 1984? Microphones in the woods are the least of our worries now that we've let the authoritarians put them in our neighborhoods!

The solution?

Well, We The Free, of course! Us! You! We!

Remember: no one should face the cops alone. Solidarity is sticking around when the cops are harassing your friends, when officials are trying to deny you your rights (your freedoms of speech and assembly usually), when you see injustice being done! We can't all be Batman, but we can all surely be that guy who videotaped Rodney King's beatdown at the hands of the cops!

Remember those riots...? Oh, those riots...

These little incidents happen all the time, folks--minor setbacks on the long road to individual mutualism--but they add up! That constant [of] friction is a significant drag on the conduct of our lives as individuals and as freely-associated groups.

So take a camera with you when you go places. Remember that little button on your phone.

And don't let the cops or anyone tell you that you have no right to record an incident.

That's just fear speaking.

There are a lot more of us than there are of them.

Love,
