Yeah its really hard to justify the benign aspects of consumer products like ring cameras against it invariably being used by an increasingly militant surveillance state.

Somewhere out there a middle aged chud is sweating over a sewing machine making a green M&M costume. If asked why they answer, sincerely, "politics." Fox did that.
There's my Hexbear lathe energy
You can't be a nationalist in the Imperial core without being pro empire
Probing the quicksand with a rod made of quicksand
Sounds safe to me
You got a lot of good answers so here's a joke answer that nonetheless is true: we hold an uncomfortable mirror up for the liberals. They do not like what they see.
It costs zero fucking dollars just to shut your mouth and not pipe up, a lesson Owen hasn't learned
Paul Robeson onion always gets me
Trying to do all your Smart Guy Science Stuff but the dumbest president of all time says no.
They prove how odious settler-colonialism is no matter who does it. They roll into a land, start killing to take it, get wildly racist towards people of African origin for no coherent reason, just a speed run of the settler projects that came before it. Trying to get their piece of the pie. You know who also did that? Tried to scramble and catch up to the imperial powers in the twilight of the classic colonial era? The Germans. Ask Namibians how that went.
I've probably been a little too forward over the years about personal details like this but I grew up on a "x farm" (non animal product) and in the summers as a kid I worked on a ranch with a bunch of miscellaneous farm animals doing all kinda bullshit with buckets and bailing wire and all the fun stuff. The amount of land it requires is so much more than these fucking hobbyist dipshits think.
The lady I worked for basically ran a retirement home for old work animals. Old horses and cows too old for work but they're fine animals and she had a big heart. It's so much work tending animals that you don't have to harness up and do shit with. They're big! They eat all fuckin day! It's all they do! Except the horses. They sometimes stare at you like 
but just one eye because they have to look sideways to stare because their enormous banana heads.
Anyways, fuck these idiots, swear to christ chuds going all "pol pot year zero but with homesteading" is going to get shitloads of people killed if it ever came to pass because they'll collapse the entire food system from the ground up. Don't ever let these idiots be in charge of the food production.
It's the correct analytical framework for understanding the modern imperial capitalism that ignores national borders
