    You sound like you’re jumping on a grenade for billionaires.

    Palantir, Flock, etc. For us, and here’s you mooing about letting billionaires have their privacy and space.

    Ya, we’re just gonna go ahead and sweep aside your nonsense.

      Someone pointed out that “flock” is named as such because its founders think of us as sheep. Imagine simping for those guys.

      Edit: not you but the guy above you

        I always figured it was a reference to the “birds work for the government” joke. That, or because birds tend to perch up on traffic lights and watch the traffic passing below. Or something about safety in numbers, because Flock’s biggest selling point is that after they hit a certain number of strategically placed cameras, avoiding them becomes nearly impossible.

      Well I didn’t mean to come across that way. I thought I could have a civil conversation with adults even if people didn’t agree with me.

      What I meant was this isn’t some kind of “gotcha” moment that everyone here seems to think it is. When did this doxxing happen? What’s come of it so far?

        I apologize for any failure to communicate on my part, and want to make amends:

        Which part of “sweep aside your nonsense” are you having difficulty grasping?

          Haha good one. You got me. I really thought you were able to have a conversation about viewpoints you don’t agree with. I didn’t take you to be like the people you despise. I get it now though.
