I mean, I want to have hope, but the major first world nations of the world didn’t build a god damned surveillance state over the last 40 years for nothing

Tinfoil hat

I'm 100% convinced the drones in the news lately are prototyping a new mass surveillance program to be kicked off after Trump takes office, likely funded by Musk, likely for purposes related to his planned mass deportations, and so little is being done about it because folks are being told Jan 20 isn't that far away, you better not.

/Tinfoil hat

My slightly less tinfoil hat option B is that it's only your garden variety mass surveillance program being piloted, kicked off under Biden, and that will be unlikely to be curtailed under Trump.

Because as a veteran, I refuse to believe that craft the military weren't intimately familiar with would receive nothing but a shrug in reaction to this, yet that's all that has happened.

While we're tinfoil hatting, it's worth noting the weird uptick in UFO/suddenly "UAP" stuff the last few years. UFOs have often meant "we're covering up some other program, LOOK OVER HERE DUMMIES!!!!" and it just sort of appeared, blew up, then has simmered in the background with no resolution. As UFO stuff is wont to do. And a lot of Republicans have weirdly jumped on board (Rubio, et al.).

I'm actually with you on both of those possibilities. It was some of the first stuff that came into my head in regards to that issue, as well.
