True, abstractly but ever more infrastructure is going glowie and are the feds. I’m not saying it’s not the best option, but it gets like tor use, which is also the best option and great, but SO many opsec caveats because EVERYTHING is built for tracking

And those are like $10 mil apiece minimum, but no free lunch for YOUR unworthy poor children. They would rather pay $1000 to kill a foreign child than $1 to feed yours.

The worst thing that ever happened to America was that Perot’s third party shit became libertarian shit. If Nader and Perot as very smart men in 1980-something knowing what we’d be by now worked out a REAL plan for '92…

💯 but can it be a honeypot when the OG promise was connection not meta security?

I do not but I will non-Google look into them

CAN things even do that sans like idk what, even Monero with current US KYC insane lockdown of everything banking-ish?

Yup. All of post-Foucauldian academia is literally downstream of a CIA op to suppress Marx and Mao in academia even. Phenomenology, hermeneutics, basically all the post-Habermas anything intersubjectve or similar. There are declassified documents at this point. I saw something published by a lefty substacker or similar recently about it, but In blanking on who it was… maybe Chris Hedges? The Hillary 2016 woke strategy to call Bernie and his followers racist/sexist/etcist is just the latest iteration and I LOVE how the neolibs are now trying to lay the “post your pronouns, toxic male!” shit at the feet of the left they summoned it to discredit.

On what specific basis is it moral to profit off reproduction of an idea, which can be infinitely reproduced without reducing the individual instance? The moral onus should be on those locking people in jails and ruining their lives to defend IP so we can get classics like Solo: A Star Wars Story, as opposed to the… somehow worse than that freedom would render?

You have said the actual truth

Don’t you love how the GOP never hates on their base as a bunch of illiterate trailer park hicks who would die from drowning looking up at the rain without state support (even though that’s accurate) but the DNC post-Carter CANNOT do enough punching left against their own activist base who give time and money and votes to them for literally nothing in return? And they will blame their voters for their own not trying to win after not allowing a primary. My position post-2020 Obama making the non-Biden neolibs drop out to cheat is I will NEVER again vote for a party that tries to defeat my part of the coalition in the primary with more force than they use against the ACTUAL alleged enemy in the general. And I used to poll stand and phone bank and shit from 1992 to 2018. Good luck getting your new Liz Cheney base out to do that assholes, I hope Trump sends you all to Gitmo after you let him win.

Obama v Hillary was legit competitive, but it wasn’t a real Bernie 2016/20 contest versus the base voters, it was a contest against Chuck Schumer pulling a Littlefinger from the inside to make Obama viable in a Game of Thrones situation. The DNC will NEVER allow a legit primary within their ranks, and if you win via their arrogance and incompetence, they’ll take you out next cycle if you don’t Borg into them ala AOC

If you live in an urban area it’s often cheaper for grocery essentials you would totally buy anyway, I have prime for shipping purposes and can’t remember the last time I bought a non-grocery/drug item… maybe an SD card? But I like, needed an SD card for a specific task I wasn’t just buying SD cards because they look sexy.

More keybinding options for my future Linux laptop…

The NYT, Guardian, BBC and many others have onion sites you can access via tor that have none of that shit because they assume you’re a Chinese dissident or something (and no ads).

Literally everyone above the level of like, mayor who has been excluded under the 14th amendment (among which there have been many) has not been indicted for insurrection. If you look at the history at all it’s CLEARLY not a requirement. And if the Unelected God-Kings want their party to 100% win, they’ll make Trump ineligible since the other GOP candidates have a 100% chance to beat Biden unlike Trump’s 99.99999% chance. I don’t see how this is hopeful for any democrat who isn’t just looking to increase Neera Tanden’s share of ad revenue from donations, a Haley or DeSantis will only be MORE effective as president in enacting the GOP agenda.

Those heady days when it seemed like life after 1996 would be like the turns in Civilization II after you already won… I miss that…

At any rate, the DNC has decided it doesn’t want to try to win again, like when they just accepted a court appointed almost entirely by HW or Reagan while HW was his VP anointing W president without a fight. Everyone to the left of Joe Lieberman should have abandoned these losers back then, but they fooled most of us into foolishly thinking we could reform them, which Obama stepping in in the 2020 just to spite the actual DNC base proved is impossible. Now it’s 24 years later and our choices are still Fascism and DEI-approved Fascism that won’t bother trying because the DNC’s insiders make their money off percentages of ad runs, win or lose, and it’s honestly better for fundraising when the republicans are burning everything down.

I disagree, a properly implemented system could be pseudonymous. You may not consider that perfect, but it’s not of no value.

Except Al Gore actually won the vote (probably even in Florida). Biden’s antagonism towards his own electoral base and insistence on running despite NOBODY wanting that is going to deliver the GOP their first non-incumbent general election popular vote win since 1988 (Joe’s first primary run ironically). The Unelected God-Kings are only deciding if it’s Trump or Haley/DeSantis who knowably beats him. I honestly can’t be bothered to care all that much at this point, because I’m tired of pretending the DNC is actually trying. I hope Genocide Joe enjoys Gitmo if the SC lets Trump get his retribution.

I’m similarly an xfce refugee in gnome for the better support hoping to return home one day…
