Comment on Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 1 day agoI grew up around drug addicts, and in my experience, befriending them doesn’t protect your shit. I had my PS3 stolen by a dude we showed nothing but kindness too when he needed a fix. Don’t get me wrong, addicts can be super chill people, but they’ll still steal from you when they need to get high.
Friend, family or stranger, don’t kid yourself that they won’t steal from you

Never said it would protect your shit, just that it likely would be better in the long run for everyone involved. Its not an easy problem to solve but I dont think we need to treat people poorly because of it. I understand if its just not possible to assume the financial risk though.

Just because I don’t trust those around me and use cameras doesn’t mean I treat people poorly. I am very respectful to the people who live and work around me, but that doesn’t mean I trust them not to take something that isn’t theirs.
Lack of trust does not equal disrespect, it just means I’ve seen the true side of a lot of people and don’t wish to let them take advantage of the kind of naivety that you display here.
It’s not that I’m unable to assume the risk, I’m unwilling to be taken advantage of.

Thats fair, I know my point of view is on the more extreme end.
