this is a random thought but i’m in general kinda scared for the future of g*vernment surveillance/p*lice violence so just a cyberpunk tip for anyone reading: chile rioters would use high powered lasers (that you can easily get on ebay legally) to burn things/blind c*ps

alternative to traditional weapons if a day ever comes where the american public ever finds itself in a situation where they’re defenseless and things really are that dire. i sincerely doubt and hope that it’ll ever happen, but i think it’s important to keep note of things like
