  As someone who’s working on starting a diyhrt homebrew and joining the SRA: unless you’ve lived through the rise of fascism stfu, chances are if you lived here you’d be doin jack shit too.

  Fascism/late stage capitalism is exhausting by design. If I didn’t spend the past decade removing corporate software from my computers I don’t even know how I’d be comfortable doing any of this safely.

  Proper privacy in today’s day in age requires understanding of Linux systems administration/, basic network architecture, and virtualization.

  If you’re not splitting your identities/footprint across several permanent and burner VM’s w/ different public IP’s you’re probably doing it wrong.

  How is that reasonable to expect out of the average person?

    You know not everything is online. And it would probably be more efficient if people got odd their phones and did shit in the real world. But maybe america well be the first virtual protest that works.

    Yeal well seriously, tomorrow the nazis are marching in my city near me, and I will be there. They want to remigrate my family. I don’t need 5 VPNs, i need to leave my phone at home and physically go there.

    Sorry friend im not your enemy. But quit thinking of yourself as the main victim when your country’s bombing people for breakfast. I spent 3 years comforting my wife as her friends were getting widowed or orphaned.

      Your medicine you need to live isn’t actively being made illegal. The FDA is already making lists of us. This isn’t something I need to protest its something Im going to need to live.

      Did I say I was?

      So less voting and more doing, chopchop.

        No they just want to send my wife to the place where she almost got killed. The guy I was answering to isn’t doing anything, he “voted for harris”.
