Nearly One in Three Gen Zers Want the Government To Install Surveillance Cameras in Everyone’s Homes
American Thinker | 9 Jun, 2023 | Eric UtterIlluminating a truly sad, pathetic — and terrifying — version of Stockholm Syndrome, a new poll has found that a stunning percentage of “Gen Z” Americans support the idea of the government placing cameras in every home in order to prevent crime and abuse. What could be the downside, right?
That finding was part of a Cato Institute poll of 2,000 Americans. Americans.
The poll asked whether respondents supported “the government installing surveillance cameras in every household to reduce domestic violence, abuse, and other illegal activity.” What about invasion of privacy?
While “only” about 14 percent of Americans overall supported the idea of Uncle Sam transitioning into Peeping Tom, an incredible 29% of those under the age of 30 did. And fully 20% of those between the ages of 30 and 44 supported the idea of massive government surveillance of — and intrusion into — our formerly private homes.
“Prog Brother Should Be Watching You, Sir”

Please remind me: their objection to having cameras currently monitoring what’s going on in classrooms is …?
The survey in question focused on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)—government-sponsored alternatives to such digital money as bitcoin. CBDCs would offer the convenience of digital payments, but potentially without privacy protections, and could empower the state to control what people buy and sell.
“Interestingly, more than half (53 percent) of those who support the United States adopting a CBDC are also supportive of government surveillance cameras in homes, while only 2 percent of those who oppose a CBDC feel the same,” add Ekins and Gygi. “This suggests there may be a common consideration that is prompted by both issues. Likely, it has to do with willingness to give up privacy in hopes of greater security.”

At Jonestown..they would drink the kool-aid..
I almost feel sorry for the government surveillance agents who would have to monitor the domestic activities of Gen Zers. It would be like watching especially boring and stupid Tik Tok videos all day.
Similarly, they don’t want to watch me trying to eat spaghetti.
Their rate of staff turn-over is going to be yuuge!
Don’t worry, they’ll have an AI to do that.
“LIKELY” it has to do with … Sheer STUPIDITY!
Then they would have me on film ripping the tag off my mattress punishable up to 5 years and a $5000 fine.
“There’s Only One Appropriate Response to This”
Do ya feel lucky, Punk? Well, do ya?
“I’ve got a feeling somebody’s watching me…”
The indoctrination of Public Schooling seems to be exceedingly successful. I’m not excited for the impending hardships these dipwads are bringing upon us.
