This just hands more power to large multinationals and Epstein aligned nations while pretending to be neutral. I'd be forced to use EU ID or whatever because no one recognizes the other ID issuer I want to use anyways, because people are lazy and powerful interest groups make it much easier to go with defaults that benefit them. As an example, look at how many governments use Google Play Integrity in their ID apps, even though there is a perfectly legitimate Android API that doesn't involve Google (the latter just takes more work and Google will steer you away from it at every turn). That kind of thing is intentional malice.

    Despite my best efforts, I can't stop coming across horrific stories and images from Palestine. I won't repeat them here because you all know. At the same time I've heard so much inspirational stuff about how the USSR, despite being in a constant fight for their existence, still managed to help the global South in various ways, like aiding Cuba for example.

    I understand that China is trying not to repeat the mistakes of the USSR by taking a less principled, more pragmatic approach, but if socialism means anything, surely it at the very least means opposing genocide? I just don't see why a country as powerful as China wouldn't just draw the line here.

    Sorry if this is more of a rant than anything else, I'm just sick of seeing this shit, and literally the only entity on the planet that isn't run by demons and is powerful enough to help, refuses to do so. Even just sanctions would make a massive difference.

    Unless your proposed system is one in which sovereign nations and independent groups like Russia, Iran, China, and my local ML group are considered valid "identity issuers" and genocidal Epsteinite groups like the US and EU are not, this is absolutely not an acceptable system and should be opposed and sabotaged as much a possible.

    i assume they wouldn't be able to pay for the actors and motion capture setups, or all the detailed game assets, the super realistic graphics, the music and sound effects, and just the sheer amount of time they have to spend coding up the whole thing. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

    I just realized that RT (dot com) is inaccessible when Mullvad is enabled, even with all content blockers turned off. It says the DNS lookup failed. I tried from various countries too.

    This post is not about endorsing or condemning any particular site, I just want to know if anyone knows whether there could be a technical reason for this? Or are we just banning sites we don't like now?

    Edit: Solved. RT is blocking some Mullvad nodes, not the other way around. Works with a random Albania server and I assume some others.
