C.There are no "smart glasses".
Meta/Facebook and Ray-Ban would like you to call them that, but you shouldn't. You should call them by their proper, accurate name.
That is "creep glasses". People who wear them are "glassholes".
If you see anyone wearing them in public, you should stop what you're doing, point dramatically at them, and loudly say "Hey, this creep is recording you without your permission! He's a glasshole!" [1]. Ignore any protests of "I'm not recording!", because the tell-tale indicator is trivially bypassed, so you *have* to assume every user is recording, all the time.
Mock them. Insult them. Shun them. Make sure everyone knows they're a creep. If you know someone who has creep glasses, make sure they never, ever wear them in your presence. Warn everyone you know about them.
What killed creep glasses the last time around - remember Google Glass? - was social opprobrium. Do it again. Make it *extremely* uncomfortable to be caught wearing them in public, so they *stop* fucking wearing them in public. You want them gathering dust, in shame, in the back of a drawer somewhere. You want the creep owner to feel a deep pang of regret every time they think about them.
[1] It will be a "he". I guarantee it.

b҉Klein is right about one other thing: we should not kid ourselves about the existence of people whose values diverge sharply from our own, or their numbers. I like to think I appreciate this point at least as well as most. I grew up in the same solidly Republican region of Ohio that produced Vice President J. D. Vance. The Bell Curve, a massive 500-plus-page work that purported to show there was a genetic basis for racial differences in IQ, spent months on the New York Times’ bestseller list while I was in preschool. Somebody read it, including, perhaps, those members of the local Klan who left their literature on my family’s driveway just a few years later—thankfully, a much shorter read for a third-grade me who found it while waiting for the school bus. Not all overt bigots hid behind robes or discreet book clubs, however. Some of them were willing to skirt the PC rules: the disparaging reference to the ghetto, the thoughtful suggestion to go back to Africa, the occasional “hard R.”

But I am stuck on one bit in particular, which Klein offered during his Shapiro interview in response to an outpouring of criticism for the whitewashing portrayal of Kirk in his op-ed. He contends that living with one another on the basis of “social shame and cultural pressure” cannot work and would not be worthwhile if it did: a nation where such things flourished would not be “a free country.”
What could Klein possibly mean by this? We are indeed going to have to live with each other, barring apocalyptic violence—but we already have been for quite some time, and doing so has not required revisionist history of the sort we are now witnessing about one Charles James Kirk in particular. The political ascendancy of right-wing fractions of the U.S. adult population is new. But their existence, of course, is not: they were not born in the summer of 2020, recent efforts to blame their intransigence and bigotry on whatever missteps may or may not have occurred during the George Floyd protests notwithstanding. A key aspect of the way we lived with each other before these self-styled epochal developments involved exactly the “social shame and cultural pressure” that Klein and other influential voices now come to condemn: “political correctness” as it was known in earlier days, or “wokeness” as it has come to be rebranded in recent years.
This shame and pressure did not rely principally on the “the force the state could bring to bear on those it seeks to silence,” as Klein rightly laments. For that kind of strong-armed enforcement of moral norms, Klein could look to the mass deportation campaigns, criminal prosecution of political organizers, and overt state censorship championed by his current right-wing bedfellows. But “PC culture” did indeed involve the shame and pressure Klein decries: a moral etiquette that directed people on how to avoid offense and stigmatized those who did not play by its rules, causing even “top bankers” to think twice before saying things like “r•t•rd” or “p•ssy” in the wrong sort of company.

Are the Los Angeles Kings wondering what they did to deserve this #opprobrium?

I don't know what the hell vein of #opprobrium I accidentally stuck my pickaxe into, but my little post about #Patreon turning their new #privacy-#invasion settings back on after I had explicitly turned them off (because they're on-by-default, natch) has gone ... #crazy.
Like annoyed-primate crazy.
It started getting constant boosts and favourites almost immediately, and hasn't stopped since. I've had I-don't-know-how-many hundreds of notifications and they're still rolling in ...
Christopher#Opprobrium keyed me into a world of sound I knew very little about. #MasayukiTakayanagi and #KaoruAbe especially. The zines anti rock/free music ethos really spoke to me then and quite honestly still does. At the time I found endless classic rock worship to be a vomitous pastime and for the most part still do. I’d imagine issues exist on Archive but I’ve never looked. I remember the articles & reviews being super dense & informative though so I’d love to re-explore. https://www.furious.com/perfect/opprobrium.html
