A week or two I mentioned as a lunatic scenario the deputizing of the politically correct to act as direct and legal militants in favor of the State. Well, here it is. You throw away an apple core? You will be found out and punished.
And I want to be clear that we always have to separate out whether or not some action is right or wrong, and instead address directly the increase in power and surveillance required to enforce it.
The city literally wants to empower people to go through people’s garbage in pursuit of some ludicrous political objective. The world will not be saved or lost by apple cores and week old spaghetti. It WILL be lost by people who insist such trifles are the direct business of an omnipotent State.
And in the second half of the story, they talk about police using analyzers to detect drug traces in the urine people flush down their toilets.
If that does not make you say What the Fuck, please take a long needle and stick it in the inside corner of your eye. That will complete the lobotomy, which at this stage is just a formality.
This insanity can only end in total tyranny, unless it is stopped.
