Lol lmao wrong one I meant your reply to the other link I posted. I don’t mean “oh this person arguing w you is so dope”

No pressure, I am a turn-based human being

Oh yeah my issue is with the ideology of anti-authoritarianism that all these privacy people adhere to, thanks for clarifying what you meant. Anti-authoritarianism is an ideology that crosses many academic fields, as a result of the CIA (well, the OSS started it) bankrolling loads of orgs, as well as deciding the publishing & reach of their work. Very fine process of elimination. Leftism was exploding across the humanities and history departments, they needed their own brands (so many) to swallow it all whole worldwide. They needed to explain why they were fighting the people who drove Hitler to his grave (why, Stalin is secretly superhitler, please disregard Wall St’s involvement with the Nazis and Allen Dulles’ high treason against FDR, trying to make a deal with them before the soviets swooped in).

Privacy orgs often treat US governments as at risk of devolving into authoritarianism and dictatorship, contrasted with a mix of states the west is besieging with those it has bent and shaped into internal catastrophes, like Egypt in that recent Mullvad advertisement, India which has its whole ID system (AADHAR) managed by Google and Mossad (what’s the difference at this point). But the states they treat as at risk of being corrupted are the ones running the global surveillance apparatus. They have the luxury of allowing these software solutions. They control the hardware manufacturers, they have compromised your firmware. This stuff is not opaque to them, unlike the less technologically advanced states it targets (including the satrapies it calls allies).

Would you agree, even if not with the former points (I’m sure, as this is coming from entirely different premises than yours), that historical education among STEM workers and programming hobbyists is very lax? That they trust western journalistic institutions? Leaving them wide open to this capture strategy?

Putting this last so you get the framework before the trivia gotcha type thing: Arendt was in a relationship with a Nazi and these academics deliberately whitewashed his history. When Heidegger was a rector at Freiburg he would begin his lectures with “Heil Hitler!”. Not a great authority on authoritarianism (depending on your definition, just to do the stupid wordplay)

Will try to expand on these points later, maybe someone else can help. I have to go grab a lot of this reference material as I’m typing.

Oo intriguing last guy I asked about this never answered very good

But not the best, that would be this: https://lemmy.ml/post/48487241/26181321 :)

I’m not sure what the original post was about, but it’s very true that privacy is an extemely political thing. I wonder if the open source & security communities are preparing themselves for a future where western monopolies on hardware manufacturing and datacenters slip away and they become more hostile to these things. Western nonprofits funded mostly by corporations, and academia, these are totally bound by legality and could disappear with a few penstrokes. Autopen sorry

I can abide evil, but surveillance against Europeans 😱

Yeah it’s just easy to use and cheap. I know it’s CIA. So is my ISP. Neither are seriously bound by legality.

Their server list always made this statement implicitly. I’m glad they’re getting more into the blatant fed marketing since people will be able to see it.

This is what my $50 android is for lol I have a name for it I will not use here

Tuta would make sense to me as a honeypot. Who called them out? Add it to the list of free providers I use that are just the CIA… In order to “anonymize” my social media profiles on their other sites lol

Great catch, is this still default behavior?

A seasoned internet denizen would immediately synthesize the sensory information you have into “oh that guy doesn’t give a fuck”, but thanks for grading my post. Yes, I come online & write absolutely anything I want.

There is a lot of stuff in between chilling, chilling in prison, and being dead. People already put up with all kinds of workplace discrimination. Turkey, Ghana etc have a strong intelligence apparatus relative to their size and influence. I would be really careful, try to get people to use e2ee

The picture of medieval man as devoutly religious, whether true or not, is indestructible, because nearly all the known facts about him were preselected for us by people who believed it, and wanted others to believe it, and a mass of other facts, in which we might possibly have found evidence to the contrary, has been lost beyond recall. The dead hand of vanished generations of historians, scribes, and chroniclers has determined beyond the possibility of appeal the pattern of the past. ‘The history we read,’ writes Professor Barraclough, himself trained as a medievalist, ‘though based on facts, is, strictly speaking, not factual at all, but a series of accepted judgements.’

Horseshit, this guy lies so much!! The Israelis can’t even use their weapons without US satellites.

Also, THEO VON?? Theo Von.

He still has time to crash a plane into that big pool

If you just want to interpret his ideology in isolation, that’s not going to give you a real picture of the Bin Laden family & the CIA’s overall relationship with Al Qaeda.

If we’re going simply off ideology, where tf is the Islam in this? What is bro (Bin Laden) yapping about?

Ironfox is the best as another said but keep in mind with Firefox android you may want to stick to one tab/website group at a time for super duper privacy. If you’re fastidious

I guess my perennial issue with “America deserved 9/11” takes is that it’s ahistorical. America carried out 9/11 against itself.
