    Jesus. I'm not in the EU, but how is this the first I'm hearing about this?

    Time to go back to email and GnuPG.

    Because they're trying to suppress the public reaction.

    You won't hear about this on prime-time TV news, and it’s even censored on some more popular parts of the internet, like Reddit.

    Never forget that Epstein was talking about fucking children in plaintext on Gmail and they did nothing whenever you see politicians say encryption should be illegal so they can capture criminals.

    If they wanted to do anything about pedophiles, they could.

    Motherless is in the Netherlands, an EU country, right? A website that has hosted child pornography for more than a decade (Amanda Todd killed herself in 2012)? They took it down for a little while after that whole “global network of guys raping their sleeping partners and uploading it” thing earlier this year, but it’s up again. I doubt it would take more than 10 minutes to find illegal content on there right now.

    It’s all a farce. It’s entirely possible to target individuals making and distributing CSAM, but it’s much easier to do nothing and use it as an excuse to spy on citizens.

    I say, “Arm up and kill authoritarians.” Likelihood is that you’ll also kill lots of pedos at the same time.

    Sure would be nice if we could reform economically instead. Not that I feel bad for the pedos or the tyrants, but a lot of other people will have a very bad time if shit really hits the fan without some sort of economic plan in place.

    Yeah. Sucks we don't have anarchists building power and survival systems outside state and capital's control. That would be awfully useful about now.

    Can you educate me about anarchists a bit? When you say survival systems, do you mean social systems? Also does anarchism intersect with libertarianism at all?

    The reason I ask is that I am building those systems, specifically server software intended to allow groups of people to found their own cooperatives as economic survival mechanisms. It's a form of democratic socialism, so I don't know how that squares with your world view.

    I suppose if you wanted privacy and decoupling from the dollar you could deal in monero instead, as it will have currency support. I just worry about the power consumption with crypto.

    do they interact with libertarians

    Only when they have kids they need to protect

    what do they do

    Nothing, they mostly don't exist

    survival projects, like keeping track of who owns what

    Oh my god watching you die is gonna be so fucking funny. I meant like making food and medicine in actual reality so people don't physically die when systems currently doing this break down.

    You do realize that without a social structure someone will just come take your food and medicine away from you, right?

    But hey, I guess didn't really expect someone espousing anarchy to want to learn anyway.

    Good luck friend.

    Are they hungry/dying of not having medicine? If so; mission accomplished. Do they want me to keep making more?

    You're right though; what's important and resilient in the face of social collapse is a block chain based ordering of who owns what.

    Hey, anyone who is against fascism is apparently considered a terrorist by the current US administration. Under the current guidelines, if you aren’t a terrorist, then you likely aren’t a good person.

    To be fair they do seem to think it would really catch pedophiles; why else would they exclude themselves?

    But what would be the point? Nobody's doing anything about the high-profile pedophiles we already know. And kids have a bunch of other more common needs that are being conveniently ignored. The maths ain't mathing

    We won’t we will block the air intake and exhaust and entrances and exits in these billionaire bunkers and rebuild the world as stewards of the earth. To do this we will have to identify and diagnose narcissism and psychopathy to treat it as a disease rather than reward it.

    If I ever, ever somehow end up living in a world where it’s not possible to communicate with someone digitally and be completely encrypted, if we get to a point where you MUST put your ID into signal and have the government scan all signal messages, I’ll probably just kill myself.

    And take a few politicians with me at the very least.

    ... where it’s not possible to communicate with someone digitally...

    I'd be thrilled to go back to that, if what we're getting now instead is the only other option. But, I grew up in the before-times, so I'm not so put off by the idea.
