I think it's called Neuro-linguistic Programming when you come up with a benign term for something truly evil. I would like to see a record of all the people Bill Clinton has rubbed elbows with over the years—or rubbed other body parts with. BTW, Bill, you and Hillary did a helluva job in Haiti.

That’s not what NLP is, no. But I’m there must or should be some term for it.

"Social distancing" is a misnomer as well. "Viral distancing" would be more accurate, but then you wouldn't be able to dehumanize everyone.

They are tracked as well, possibly even more. Roms dont do shit to cell tracking. Even without a sim card it shows you, even on airplane mode it shows you.

YES! THIS! Sorry, I shouted again, but this is one of the best and most effective forms of protest and activism I have heard to date.

Epic A+++ video!

(I know I've been throwing a lot of those high grades around lately, but these in these times folks just gotta wake up to this great info.)

While most of you may be upset with this "big brother panopticon" term rebranding, whitewashed now as "contact tracing", I sympathize with you all and feel your pain.

However, a part of me absolutely celebrates this new term!

In writing my Bittersweet Seeds epic subversive near future hard-sci-fi story (a work in progress), I won't have the burden of actually having to explain this whole thing and my audience will already be aware of it. This new well-known term is a HUGE relief for me.

Even before I started going deep into conspiracy theory and historical revisionism in 2014-2015, I was VERY well aware that there would be vastly superior surveillance systems in 25-30 years from now and that escape from surveillance would be nearly impossible. "They" will always get you, or so we're told. (Even that lone shooter in Nova Scotia got nabbed, if we are to believe that story. Of course, we don't know about all the lone shooters and serial killers that actually get away with it, with or without help from authority and the deep state.)

At the half-way mark in my story, starting with Act 2B "Fugue", after narrowly escaping an assassination attempt, my protagonist escapes on foot and must evade surveillance not knowing who to trust or who's out to kill him. This has been fundamental in my story since about 2007. I liked to consider the latter half of my story a mashup of The Fugitive, Children Of Men, The Bounty, and 2001: A Space Odyssey - vaguely. I don't know how to describe or compare the first half, which lays out the foundation with a LOT of ideas in "normal" circumstances before switching gears.

Maybe I should ignore this corona thing and SaidIt for a while and just finish the damn story.
