Well, here's some Orwellian crap that I didn't quite expect to see.

Nearly 1 in 3 Gen Zers and 1 in 5 millennials think that it's a good idea to have the government install video surveillance in people's homes to prevent crime.

Yeah, this is a generation that didn't read George Orwell, clearly.

Although, I'm sure the thought process is "They're using my phone to spy on me already, so why not go all the way?"

We used to have an anti-totalitarian sentiment in this country, but that is quickly fading when it comes to younger generations.

The poll did show, however, that 75% of Americans would oppose such a proposal, but the younger you are the more likely you are to actually support video surveillance in private residences.

And, not shockingly, those who favored in-home surveillance by the government also supported a Central Bank Digital Currency, aka the abolition of cash in favor of an entirely government-run digital banking system.

That's a significant portion of the population that is willing to completely forego freedom, both economic and social, so that the government will do everything for them.

This isn't the America that your forefathers envisioned.

If these trends continue, the United States may confront a very different privacy landscape in the future. It is possible that at some point, the American public will be open to extreme government overreach in a world that feels scarier and more dangerous than before, whether or not it is.

This is asking for a totalitarian government that intrudes on every single part of your life.

It's a dangerous road we are headed down unless the ship can be righted.
