I think people don't even want to discuss options for surveillance online and offline because they never were and don't actually fear to be victims of violent crimes.
I also think people who say surveillance and police need to be abolished believe (subconsciously) in the "just world" hypothesis or they have main character syndrome and think that bad stuff only happens to people who somehow deserve it.
The behaviours that the youth detest in elders were acceptable in the elders youth. All that changed was time. It'll happen to you, too, and you won't give a fuck what the kids are saying.
Ignorance and/or tradition are not excuses for continuing bad behavior, though.
The "acceptable" behaviors were actually wrong then just like they are now. Getting away with something bad doesn't make it not bad.
Being forgiven isn't the same as getting permission. I think we can forgive people for their past bad behavior in light of the fact that it was accepted at the time. Especially if they acknowledge it's wrong and don't continue to do it.
Everything everywhere all at once was a great, enjoyable, fun movie but did not deserve best movie and Jamie Lee Curtis basically got a lifetime award which was unfair to the other actresses
We should build an A.I. overlord so that it replaces our current leadership like politicians and the entire market bussines specially the top, so that it can exploit resources in a reneuable way that is already possible right now but you know... lobying and fucking oil companies, and redistribute them to the population in a just way incluiding but not limited to food (nice food not rations), housing, medical services, psichological support (but the real one not the human resources bullshit), entertainment and internet access, and eventually be able to make custom orders like custom furniture, video game capable aparatus, modifing your house, travel and even swimmimg pools and ice cream. Besides i think our survival hinges on us making something about our leadership since there is at least one major problem that we need fixed that our current leadership is not gonna solve i.e. golbal warming, since they rather sell their souls and their people to the oil companies, and replacing them (even with a coup) is just gonna put more corruptible people that are gonna get bought out by some other straigth up cartoonishly evil entity, or they themselves turning into it or being overtrown by it, and destroying the entity would require a massive effort and thats not happening without mass destruction and even if it is destroyed another one will rise up from the chaos caused by the anti corporate war. So the sollution would be a singularity level A.I.
