Yeah, I don't think it's reasonable to give up in the face of it.

You should make it as hard as possible for them to track you, use private OpenSource software, advocate for it and don't be afraid if direct action, like destroying these cameras. The more people that do it, the harder it will be for them to do something about it.

    Oh, I do.

    I just don't trust the majority to do anything meaningful themselves. It's why recycling doesn't work and why Democrats and Republicans keep getting elected. Our only power now is local.

    Yup. And also we should advocate for our rights more locally. Organize with other people, raise awareness and do direct action.

    I think the most effective form of resistance is relationships and new local organisations and new structures that resist the forces of the state and of capitalism.

    If you are looking for some ideas, maybey you can look here or do your own research.
