totally. the fact that they're allowed to used them to kill Americans, without making them go to court for a fair trial is pretty fucked. we live in 1984 lol

i dont see what is wrong w/ drones

killing with zero ethical repercussions and no risks for those leading the attacks

at one point in time war was theoretically something we needed strong justification for because it involved the loss of a large portion of a country's lives. today we can just drop bombs anywhere without ever seeing a person being more than a couple pixels in size. we tend to dehumanize those we're killing in war and it's much easier when they don't even look like people

it's scary when it's used anywhere, but even more terrifying when it's used against our own people; the government can bypass due process entirely if it considers us terrorists

I hope UPS and FEDEX start using drones soon so I can get my orders the next day

It's a problem when you're on the run or trying to hide. Which is what any sensible person should be doing. Still, all the drones in the world won't help them when social order collapses.

I was thinking very carefully today about how to implement a wide area, multi-dimensional visual surveillance apparatus. It was very easy to imagine how. You don't even need Drones, just blimps, which are the perfect shape for painting into a giant, unblinking eye in the sky.

And they also look great burning up and falling in slow-motion.
