Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Wouldn't it be much more effective to develop a laser deactivation protocol than physically taking them?

More effective? No. Less likely to get caught? Yes.

If you leave the device in place and just laser the sensor, you’re leaving a device that can log passing device info that still works. It can’t record license plates, but it can see that a person walked/drove past.

On the other hand, if you blind it, then steal it while it’s properly faraday caged, you can let it sit and die for a couple days till it’s safe to dismantle.

You sure the loss of functionality and cost to repair wouldn't be devastating to the company? I don't think it's feasible to disassemble them en masse.

If the type of damage gets standardized like that, it makes it much easier to repair in the long run.

And even if they can’t, the devices still record info as long as they are running. They won’t be able to take images but all other functionality will work.

You'd have better luck with a paintball gun. You'd be well out of its visual range and you could just pepper the lens with paint. I mean it's not perfect but you're way less likely to get caught.
