Yeah, I'm having trouble even imagining what kinds of nefarious things they could be up to. They have a passenger manifest. You're already on camera throughout the airport and boarding and disembarking the plane. You're basically in a public place where strangers can see you at any time. They know what you're watching. What would they gain by filming thousands of bored people staring at a seat back?

The best I can come up with is they'd have video proof if you made some claim against them about something that happened onboard.

I do have a little bit of skepticism about whether people who couldn't spell check "RUINED" were trying to make an insidious anti-Semitic message, as compared to just "this looks like a stereotypical pretentious college student" or something.

quote:

A United spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that cameras are “a standard feature that manufacturers of the system have included for possible future purposes such as video conferencing” and the airline has “no plans to use them in the future.”

yeah, maybe. the quote seems to imply that they didn't specifically request the cameras and that they aren't set up to use but that's all they did was imply.

i disagree, i wouldn't call it overblown, we already know that everyone is actually spying on us. so, it's not trying to work people up but another instance of letting us know we're probably being spied on... again... because we're little more to companies than data generating flesh bags.

If the similarity is on purpose, it wouldn’t be to make fun of the holocaust, it would be to daw parallels between themselves and the people who suffered in the concentration camps. Always remember that the people those stupid memes are targeted at believe they are victims. They sat there with the presidency, the Senate, and the House of Representatives all controlled by their party, as well as having the largest news media giant in the country on their side, and whined about how everyone was against them. They know the holocaust is the worst thing most people can think of off the tops of their heads, and they know that they themselves are being victimized to an even worse degree than the people who were persecuted by the Nazis, so it’s a natural comparison for them to use.

I would not be surprised at all if it were on purpose.

This looks like a way for Trump to act like he "did something" to protect abortion survivors, even though if they're born they're already treated just like any one else who has been born so it actually doesn't do anything at all. Seems like an easy "win" for Trump if it gets to his desk.

it could just be like old skool prison garb, to make it seem like PC is turning them into thought criminals or whatever, but if TPUSA could both possibly be more stupid and offensive then they will do it.

either way, or whatever it is, there is no way they asked a model to just show up in whatever and he happened to show up in a striped black and white dress shirt.

It's also funny that they try to make it seem like it's a vast organization with charters on every campus but it's just like 4 guys making memes and that dumb ramen-headed gungirl and her shrek hanger-on are the only real idiots dumb enough to actually carry out Campus Actions.
