    1980s anti-seatbelt News segment: There’s no freedom no more

    Safety regulations, gun laws, and masks mandates: “This is an outrage! I am a libertarian. Get big brother out of our lives!”

    Invasion of privacy, inescapable surveillance networks that use live facial recognition technology, and a giant Palantir database that will contain every individual’s data and connections to friends, family, and acquaintances with zero oversight or regulations to keep track of who uses it or how it’s used (bc “libertarian”): “Stop being so paranoid. If you have nothing to hide you should have nothing to fear.”

    yeah, whatever. doesn’t affect me too much.

    I will continue fixing up my piece of shit old cars until I literally cannot get parts for them, and by then there will probably be an actual viable alternative for me that isn’t a 2018 shitty-tech infested nightmare with poor visibility, bloated size, and headlights that will get people killed

      Well I mean the bulk of the features they are railing about aren’t even currently in most cars, Emergency breaking seems about 50/50 on protecting you vs others (hits the brakes if it detects you mindlessly driving towards something), and then the system that prevents people from leaving babies in the back seat.
