Flock & Freedom
If you have nothing to hide, why not write your letters on postcards? If you're not committing crimes, why do you care about Flock cameras reading your license plate as you come and go? When did you become complacent about your freedom?
Flock cameras are all the rage these days. The "bootlicker" stance is well summarized in the following post:
Let me stop this "Flock tracks people" conspiracy. Let's take my city for example. We have 8 cameras. All cameras are in points of entry & exit into the city. So, as u enter or exit your tag is read, a distant photo of your vehicle is taken, & the camera u passed by is logged.…

Practical considerations aside, I can just picture someone balking at "hiding" one's correspondence in an envelope: "if you don't have anything to hide, just write it on a postcard." This is basically the same "argument" (if mindlessly repeating TV talking points constitutes arguing) that suggests a desire for digital privacy (emails, texts, calls, etc.) is a front for criminal activity – as though being appalled by police state surveillance is rooted in a desire to commit crimes with impunity.
It can be immediately frustrating wondering how people can be in favor of clearly harmful policies. I'm glad (and entertained by) those who spend time online arguing with these folks. I doubt their efforts will ever be constructive or productive, but I appreciate it just the same. Someone once said:
"When you're arguing with a normie, you're arguing with the TV because the normies have been so indoctrinated by the TV and by media that they don't actually think... When you're arguing to the TV, the TV can't talk back.”
When you realize your NPC friend or neighbor can't hear you and can't understand you, it may actually ease some of the frustration.
