I want us to remember all the celebrities and influencers who shilled for these glasses and helped normalize this type of surveillance.
Because that's what Meta is doing. They're throwing billions at the problem of us being creeped out by these things.
I know for a lot of us, no amount of celebrity advertising will change our minds, but historically, this strategy does work well enough to squeeze into the mainstream.
So fuck anyone who has anything to do with normalizing Meta Raybands.
Wisconsin's Republican lawmakers propose new fees for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing on state-owned land
😒 “Hikers would need a $20 permit to hike on state land”
Because public land ain't for the poors, amirite? $20's a material expense to you? You only use parks once a year? Too fuckin bad. Get a minimum wage job and work for a few hours to earn enough to pay for that privilege of walking on the land the people of Wisconsin set aside for the people of Wisconsin
