Kylie Jenner ads at bus stops for google glass are some sci fi dystopia shit on their own. They Live was exactly about this.

    It's still boggles my mind that the foundation of the Kardashian/Jenner business empire is a (probably intentionally) leaked sex tape.

    Same here. Such a weird level of social "power" given to them without actual reason. At least the old capitalist families actually had functionally important capital control with oil, land, industrial production. The Kardashian/Jenner families are just famous and rich for being famous and rich. And they (and many others like them) have inspired so many people to aspire to get famous and rich via clout chasing instead of anything else. Becoming a plague of thinking they are smart about stuff just because of their follower count.

    The UK by density for sure, but total would be America

    Yeah the massive amounts of land that have no towns or even houses in the western half of the USA throws the density curve pretty dramatically. Makes it seem like the USA isn't the surveillance state it really is, while making other smaller (land wise) surveillance states seem worse. With the density looking less problematic, it really lets the frog that is the American populace not notice the water getting closer to boiling.

    London is literally third on the list bud. And of course, we have to consider the lack of transparency of the US regime here as well.

    Who is first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth?

    Also what's the overall population of China vs the overall population of the UK?

    C'mon man there's no argument here. Just stop.

    There is an estimated 500 cameras per 1000 people in China vs 100 per 1000 people in the UK.

    You can try to skew the stastic by trying to hammer on London, the most populated city, but you know you're just lying lol. I'm not arguing with you, you're arguing with the truth.

    I'm done here, you're disingenuous and don't understand numbers I guess or population density.

    I love how you keep digging in here. Turns out that the amount of cameras in China is very comparable with UK with London being right up there with Chinese cities. Instead of admitting being wrong, you just continued to double down and making a further clown of yourself. The utter lack of self awareness here is really a cherry on top.

    I, thought, the monsters in They Live were aliens, but I think they’re a metaphor for the parasitic wealth class.
