The leftoid protest against the surveillance state is a little surprising, but I don't expect it to last long past the planned handover of the White House to blue team. Then questioning government power and expansionism will be bad again and we need Flock cameras and Palantir AI to protect us from the scary white supremacist militias.

As someone old enough to be politically active (derogatory) during the last GOP administration that is exactly what is going to happen

All this energy behind not trusting anything any government agency says or does, all the scrutiny over corporate-government alliances, it's going to disappear instantly and you're going to see all your fired-up, fight-the-power friends immediately shift into full boot-throater mode

This is what all fact-checking has sounded like for at least 15 years. The only mildly interesting thing is that the spin is right-wing rather than left-wing.

in general, people think multiculturalism means that people look different but think like westerners of middling education. because culture is just food and music, right? but what multiculturalism looks like in practice is that the cultural practice of having bar codes that cashiers scan is replaced with the cultural practice of having cashiers add up prices on a four-function calculator from memory and type in a number that's too big if they think you aren't paying attention. and one may begin to encounter other exotic cultural practices, like treating it as a valid response to a petty interpersonal dispute to take out a gun and fire without aiming in a crowded public place
