I think conflating surreptitiously taking videos of strangers with surveillance sort of normalises it in a way that makes me uncomfortable. Like, I don't like having security cameras everywhere, but those ostensibly are to investigate crime etc etc. These are just creepshots for zoomers

designed to fit a surveillance aesthetic

What, pray tell, is the surveillance aesthetic

The laws and legal systems of the U.S. will be complicated at best to understand and follow. State and territorial laws can vary widely from one jurisdiction to another, meaning that the US actually consists of at least 54 separate legal systems with regard to any area of law not within the purview of federal law.

Also proof of ownership only works as long as people recognise that proof of ownership as valid. If I turned up with a deed to your house from the House Deed Printing Company you would be like "what the fuck is that? get off my property." the more the idea of nft "possession" as "ownership" is undermined, the more valueless it is. so there's financial consequences, despite being abstracted

I mean sure, but the Mona Lisa has value beyond its scarcity (though its scarcity is a significant contributor to its value) because it's a historical artifact with artistic merit

NFTs are completely devoid of value independent of their scarcity. They have literally 0 artistic merit because they are basically picrew avatars pumped out by cynical bitcoin shitheads in order to drain money from morons. Without their perceived "uniqueness" they are not interesting at all. So they hate it when that putative uniqueness is undermined because it reminds them that they spent four or five figures on a jpeg of an ugly monkey

The revolutionary group your character joins is called libertad, and the Canadian spook you encounter does make a joke about lib-tard; really the only based part of the entire game.

well yeah obviously. but sometimes you cant let shit go. if someone is so tempted to argue online that it's a problem then i doubt being like "actually i will never argue 😇" is going to actually solve anything. if it does then great if not then consider a different strategy. and that strategy is sending them pig poop balls (actually please dont i hate seeing that image)
