Guerrilla London Bus Ads Mock Kylie Jenner’s Meta Glasses Campaign

Same here. Such a weird level of social "power" given to them without actual reason. At least the old capitalist families actually had functionally important capital control with oil, land, industrial production. The Kardashian/Jenner families are just famous and rich for being famous and rich. And they (and many others like them) have inspired so many people to aspire to get famous and rich via clout chasing instead of anything else. Becoming a plague of thinking they are smart about stuff just because of their follower count.

Isn't this an ad from a country that has the most cameras on the street watching people and tracking their movements m

lol yeah, although not sure if UK or the US have more cameras at this point

The UK by density for sure, but total would be America

yogthos@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 17d

yeah that sounds about right

dRLY@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 17d (1 reply)

Yeah the massive amounts of land that have no towns or even houses in the western half of the USA throws the density curve pretty dramatically. Makes it seem like the USA isn't the surveillance state it really is, while making other smaller (land wise) surveillance states seem worse. With the density looking less problematic, it really lets the frog that is the American populace not notice the water getting closer to boiling.

Shanghai and Beijing together do laps around the amount of cameras in the UK and US combined.

"Let’s first look at the top 10 cities with the most CCTV cameras per 1000 inhabitants:

Taiyuan, China – 119.6

Wuxi – China – 92.1

London, United Kingdom – 67.5

Changsha, China – 56.8

Beijing, China – 56.2

Hangzhou, China – 52.3

Kunming, China – 45.0

Qingdao, China – 44.5

Xiamen, China – 40.3

Harbin, China – 39.1

Now, let’s look at the top 10 cities by CCTV density per square km:

Chennai, India – 657

Hyderabad, India – 480

Harbin, China – 411

London, United Kingdom – 399

Xiamen, China – 385

Chengdu, China – 350

Taiyuan, China – 319

Delhi, India – 289

Kunming, China – 281

Beijing, China – 278"

Sorry what are we talking about? Aren't you the guy who like two comments below this agrees it's probably the UK by a per citizen margin?

yogthos@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 16d (8 replies)

London is literally third on the list bud. And of course, we have to consider the lack of transparency of the US regime here as well.

deft@lemmy.wtf · 1 pts · 16d (7 replies)

Who is first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth?

Also what's the overall population of China vs the overall population of the UK?

C'mon man there's no argument here. Just stop.

When you definitely understand how per capita works. 🤣

So what you're saying is huge amount of surveillance is a-okay, as long as some other country has more. Gotcha.

QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 16d (4 replies)

In absolute numbers probably but due to size and population China tops most lists of absolute numbers so it's not really an informative metric. In terms of per capita I'm 90% sure the US leads China in CCTV cameras.

deft@lemmy.wtf · 2 pts · 16d (3 replies)

No China just laps entirely. To have such a large population and also dominate the statistic of cameras per 1000 citizens mean they have millions of more cameras.

QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 16d (2 replies)

Have proof for that because I have articles that state the US is ahead per capita and you seem to just be saying things?

However, if you count the number of cameras per capita, the USA leads the race with the highest number of CCTV cameras per person.

People are going to react to this with a knee-jerk "nuh uh!" because you're being a smug reddituer about it, but I'm going to take a different approach. China actually invests in its infrastructure so obviously it's going to have more and newer cameras, simply because it's actually building and expanding. In China you might be surveilled in one of the more than 1000 high speed rail stations. In the UK it might be in one of four, or more likely a low speed train station. In the US it might be a bus station.

That's the difference. When countries are growing and building, they're installing cameras. Every country is going to install more and more cameras forever, the only countries that won't are the ones that are in decline. China is growing and building faster than anyone, so they're going to have more cameras. This needs to be taken into account.
