There's a very easily way to rid society of these. Buy a pair of glasses and follow politicians and their families around and post constant updates about them on social media.
Nah, you will just individually get sent to jail or shot by the police depending on the country, and that'll be enough of a warning to everyone else.
Don't wuss out so quick. This weak attitude is why the surveillance state has risen in America and Europe. If it's ok for private companies to keep tabs on everyone, why isn't it ok for private citizens?
The fact you, and by you I mean Western citizens, just roll over and accept this is sickening. What do you think the proud military men and women who earned your freedoms through blood, sweat, and tears would think of modern society today?
WTF are you talking about? I'm not condoning anything, just giving my estimate of the likely factual outcome. And no military man earned my freedom, such as I have any it was won by union organisers and socialist activists.
