Apparently a whole slew of browsers are sending IPv6 connections whenever they connect, "just to see which one is faster", which sure sounds like a lot of bandwidth for somebody to pay for ... must be worth it to someone.

Don't they just send a packet to measure response time? I'm not certain that'd amount to any noticeable increase in monthly BW usage.

Can someone who actually understands the Dismalest Science enlighten us?

I'm not your guy. It's an interesting topic of discussion and I hope someone who knows what they're talking about can come in and enlighten us.

I'll be honest, I left most of the 'liberty movement' awhile ago, because I got tired of their constant bickering about who was being mean to who on twitter, but I do know that Larken Rose's "The Most Dangerous Superstition" is a good book, I had already accepted the ideas and concepts laid out in the book, but it summed them up quite well, and in a fairly non-offensive manner.

One that is a very old, but very good one is Spooner's famous No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, which will hit on the fact the constitution, particularly the 2nd amendment, is ignored until it is politically helpful to invoke it.

I'd personally make it a point to target gun owners who see the ridiculousness going on, and want to distance themselves from it, they're being disenfranchised by the trumpians who are going out making fools of themselves, and have NO friends in the mainstream left.

Great post, and I agree 100%.

The thing is, many people from both sides would find our ideas quite reasonable. It's essentially a party of personal liberties. <insert meme about gay couple protecting weed plants with guns here>

Who are some up and coming budding Libertarians to follow? I'll admit that I don't follow things as closely as perhaps I should, though I resignate with the ideas, I can't pick faces out of a crowd (if that makes sense).

Expect more detailed, street level maps of "evil Trump supporters" to be made indexable and available to all. I'd assume that if you uploaded images or videos without first stripping the meta data out yourself, or if you had a verified account and uploaded your ID and details, that you're already on some 'evil conservative' list that's being compiled and refined.

WTF, the same website posted another article concluding the exact opposite of OP's article: https://tucson.com/news/local/court-arizonans-have-right-to-internet-privacy-from-authorities-without-warrant/article_6a9375fe-3c88-5bee-ac2b-e0d5a8ce2ceb.html#tracking-source=article-related-bottom

My take away: Your personal info like name and address are protected, but what you do online is not.

Using degeneracy to promote anti-degeneracy is an interesting move.

I second this. It's actually something I've thought about a few months ago while looking at Gfycat links. Given a decently sized dictionary of adjectives and nouns, I suppose joining just two or three would yield plenty of unique and memorable usernames.

For example:

  • ADJ + N
  • ADJ + N + N
  • ADJ + ADJ + N

I believe that mixing adjectives and nouns would prevent generated usernames from becoming an outright word–salad and maybe give them some nonsensically playful quality.

By the way, hi.

Persecution complex, much? If I tell someone that they are a niggerfaggot and have to go back to reddit, that's because of something they did, not because of something they are.

I don't care who you are. I only care about what you do. And getting all offended over perceived slights against your identity to the point of shouting it out in a post bodes ill.

What's even the point of sharing your identity on a privacy focussed platform even if it's just your sexual one? I don't see what benefit this brings, other than attention whoring.
