  Even if the government weren't incentivized to surveil everywhere, it's a no brainer for people to install cameras around their businesses/homes/cars for liability purposes since they are so cheap now.

I assume every car will have a dash cam, a house will have a doorbell cam or similar, and every business is monitored everywhere. And cities/states will have license plate readers on police cars/roads.

At least two generations have stood by and allowed the West and its influence on the world stage to be degraded and eroded without so much as batting an eyelid. When one steps back and looks at what they've facilitated, one starts to see some reality in the "strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men" cycle often touted.
