Two Panel Comic
1: [Blue background. A slightly overweight white man wears a camo bullet proof vest over a black t-shirt. He has a black baseball cap on his head and wears a red bandana over his nose and mouth. He wears a menacing expression on his face.]
Guy: I’m a Proud Boy and I will never stop fighting for true manliness!
2: [Pink background. The Proud Boy now twiddles his fingers, with an abashed expression on his face. His eyes are drawn in an anime style with an anime blush across his nose and cheeks.]
Guy: But I also gotta hide my face because I’m a widdle soft-as-baby-shit chicken.
In the age of mass surveillance, it might be good to take a page from their behaviors.
Kinda crazy we’re not all hiding our faces all the time.
The pandemic sucked but I’m just glad that it’s socially acceptable to wear a mask anywhere in the world now.
Where I am the pandemic changed nothing about the acceptance of masking. Even during the pandemic I had people asking me to remove my mask.
Uhh in much of shithole countries (America) you can get shot for wearing a covid mask. Or at least disrespected.
I’d be publicly shamed if I wore one everywhere.
I wear one everywhere, but I’m a woman so I’m more treated as “aww silly girl” sort of thing.
Why would you wear one now? Risk of infection is basically zero these days, or at least no one is tracking or worrying about it anymore.
It’s still out there. If you were worried and plannimg to be in a crowd, i could see it.
Also, if you have a flu or something and you don’t mask up, I think you’re a dick =p
The only ones I’ve seen with masks the last few years are Asians in airports when I’m traveling, and they wore those even before covid so I’m not sure it’s covid related.
it’s definitely more expected among various asian cultures. My city has a pretty large contingent of Chinese, Taiwanese, HKers, etc.
I think it’s an expectation that really SHOULD spread to everyone. Masking up when you’re sick it an awesome idea.
There’s a difference between disabling a flock camera and protesting.
It’s pointless with current surveillance tech. Even juggalo face paint doesn’t work anymore
An obstacle is still an obstacle. Every bit counts
Idk how true that actually is and how much is demoralizing disinformation.
It’s not pointless you just have to be creative. IR LEDs are cheap and their light is invisible to us but enough light can flood out a camera feed. You can get/build a cheap device that detects these devices’ BLE signatures and further automate from there. (E.g. : use that data to populate a map, then use the map to inform other strategies/hide yourself within a certain range.)
There’s gotta be other turnkey stuff that walks the line of being offensive while not being conspicuous or doing permanent (physical) damage, I just haven’t come across it yet or it is coming.
This fight is far from over
Gotta mask and put a rock in your shoe.
