      I mean, it is technically true, but in a trial with a jury of peers it wouldn’t matter. This reminds me of the old school outlaw definition. If you were declared an outlaw the laws of the land no longer applied to you. You could commit crimes, but it also meant anyone and everyone could commit crimes against you without repercussions. It was a bit of a given that you would commit crimes because if you were declared an outlaw you probably were already committing crimes, but now anyone could rob, harm, or even kill you and it wouldn’t be a crime.

      I say fuck these neo-nazis but this is cyber terrorism technically.

        Terrorism is the use of force against civilians to influence a nation’s policy. This is not it.

        I think you have sense on your side there about outlawry. It existed as the photo negative of the golden rule, and it’s a great way to make an example of people who break the social contract.

    In the early 90s, my grandfather assured me that he fought and killed nazis, so that my generation would never have to deal with them.

    He didn’t say he cancelled the nazis. The word he used was “Exterminated”.

    Maybe we should all do that again. Exterminate the nazis. Because quite frankly, this government is lousey with them.

    • Passerby6497@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Nazis weren’t exterminated, the US government hired quite a few (and that’s not counting the ones who went on vacation to Brazil in 1945)

      Maybe we should do it right this time.

        Not to mention that the Germans themselves took a few years out, and then put a lot of the Nazi political machine back in charge.

        Does anyone remember when Kurt Waldheim, UN Secretary General for 9 years and President of Austria for 6, turned out to be a former nazi? Whoops ie!

        We should just never stop shaming for it. Someone wearing a swastika on the bus should be booed until their stop. It could bring the rest of us together, even.

        That said, I think it might all be a distraction from society’s real enemies: the oligarchs.

    Root also published the data allegedly scraped from WhiteDate online. 

    The hacker said that they scraped WhiteDate’s public data and found “poor cybersecurity hygiene that would make even your grandma’s AOL account blush.” Root said that users’ images included precise geolocation metadata that “practically hands out home addresses with a side of awkward selfies.” 

    “Imagine calling yourselves the ‘master race’ but forgetting to secure your own website — maybe try mastering to host WordPress before world domination,” Root wrote.

    I’m thoroughly confused about WhiteDeal.

    A service where one contracts other white supremacists to do menial ad hoc jobs for a cost under the market price just seems so very antithetical to the whole “supremacy” thing.

    source
    • surewhynotlem@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I think it makes some sense. To be a white supremacist, you have to not think too hard. To be a libertarian and against minimum wage, you have to not think too hard.

        This is part of our problem as a country. Everyone has to fit into a box. I am a Libertarian, but I also believe in a universal basic income along with a minimum wage. I believe that a fiscally responsible government can and should provide basic services to its constituency.

    • villainy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      That kind of cognitive dissonance is what leads some people to give up ideologies like white supremacy. The endless rationalizing of hypocrisy is fucking exhausting. It’s a lot easier to just accept people as they are than build a whole framework around hating groups of people that allows for like, your neighbor, or an actor, or an athlete, to be okay because “well they’re different than the rest.” Or whatever bullshit excuse.

        I watched this yesterday and missed the last 5 minutes because I thought it’s Q&A.

        FWIW, she said something about “playback” and a “demo” before she started “the hacking”, which also looks like a fun script, no more. I’m not sure she’s actually live-deleting websites there.
