Tiptoetalitarianism
 
Quote:

A man dressed as a speed camera to protest against Britain becoming a totalitarian society.
Going by the name of Jonny Frackoff, although this is thought to be a pseudonym,
Ya think?

...he stood on a central reservation in Farnborough, Hampshire, on Thursday while dressed in a luminous
jacket and camera hat.

“With the snooper’s charter to top it off I can only see it getting worse. People call it ‘tiptoetalitarianism’,
we’re creeping towards an unjust system that only benefits the corporations.”
He added: “It’s like we forgo our civil liberties for greater security, I could get security locked up in a prison
but that doesn’t mean I want to be there.”
Tiptoetalitarianism is a new one on me, a little bit of a tongue twister for a slogan or glib remark, but a good description
of what's happening. It's always been the desire of the powerful in charge, just never had the current technology/ability.
As technology, and your daily dependence on it, increase, so will your inability to fly below the radar.

But hey, you're not a criminal, a child molester, nor ghetto drug dealer, why should you care?
For the same reason you don't live broadcast CCTV on the internet from your bathroom/bedroom.

The whole world is now an open floor plan office. Try to get your nose picked before you leave the house.

Once upon a time, getting on television was a major accomplishment - a worthy achievement. What changed?
