“Today in dystopia, ICE is planning to add police robots to the arsenal with which it will be patrolling US streets. … I guess it makes sense that the empire’s mad rush to normalize police robots would be spearheaded by the department responsible for persecuting immigrants; there’d be more domestic pushback if these dystopian machines were patrolling the streets targeting less marginalized populations. I still can’t stand how the western political/media class keeps calling these things ‘dogs’ to make them seem cute and familiar so that people won’t recognize them for the autonomous dissent suppression weapons they are intended to become. … Today in dystopia, a Pentagon employee has published a McCarthyite list of suspected leftists and socialists who can now be tracked with the help of an interactive map.” (08/30/26)
