I just use Nemo, when I used to use more cli programs, I liked ranger

The people who were rioting or doing other seriously illegal things without hiding their identity weren't being too smart.

But I understand the people who just walked in without covering their face. For those people, it was a simple act of civil disobedience. Generally people do show their face while engaging in acts of civil disobedience and accept the possibility of being arrested. No one says "LOL Rosa Parks, what an idiot. She should have worn a hat and wrapped a scarf around her face before she sat on the bus. Then she should have gotten off at a stop before they could arrest her. But the idiot got caught LOL".

If actual violence happens every now and then, that gives proof that the implicit threat is actually real. I think before this happened, politicians believed that conservatives were too committed to law and order to pose any real threat. Maybe now, instead of just cowing to the left's demands out of fear, decisions will be more balanced and they will weigh the potential reaction of both sides.

The left has had the advantage when demanding things for a while because people know the left can turn violent on a dime. Some of us on the right noticed that after the riots this year, corporations and politicians were suddenly trying very hard to prove how much they support BLM and the demand to defund the police was met in multiple cities. So it's no wonder that some Trump supporters decided that they ought to try rioting as well. Apparently it is effective.

Get yourself a full body neon green body suit. That'll take care of your identifying features.

Basically: Leave your phone at home or faraday bag that shit, don't talk to press, don't post selfies on social media, don't be uniquely identifiable (visible tattoos, etc).

Same way all the idiots in Seattle/Portland/etc got arrested when throwing molotovs at police, looting stores, setting shit on fire and being dumb. Many are just one virtue signaling Instagram post away from incrimination.

If you're going to do illegal stuff, probably best to not let yourself be easily tracked regardless of political belief. Weird concept.

When it comes to Chinese stuff, I mainly watch movies like "the bravest" and "the wondering earth" not to mention martial arts movies like ip man

Never read books or watched animated stuff, but I've heard about Reverend insanity but only in name

The only two Chinese animations I've seen were a 3d animated series called "Ling long: incarnation" and an anime-style show called "the uncharted walker" both were pretty good

There was also another 3d animation, can't remember its name and I only saw one or two episodes where a teenage boy woke up in a desolate city where maniacs are killing each other, iirc there was a man (or was it a woman?) with a chainsaw trying to kill him and a pink haired girl helping him, it was an interesting show, if I managed to remember it's name, I'll look for the rest of episodes

Intelli Saiko.

Who is she?

Federated systems have the potential to be the future.

Wit Studio does amazing work. Unfortunately Vinland Saga was a pretty mediocre story with the whole slavery-is-bad and people-owning-slaves-are-evil-incarnate. Moral busybodying like that takes you out of the story.

But if the story checks out it could be amazing. Unfortunately, for the past decade there haven't been all that many great stories coming out of Japan. Nowadays I'll read more Chinese stuff than Japanese. Reverend Insanity for example is so amazing that reading it was a major mistake, since now everything else feels like garbage in comparison.

Maybe the more crucial part was that a second in I recognized the entire speech from Jojo. Usually I can kind of zone out, but it's Jojo, so there's that.

Can't say I fully understand japanese, most of my knowledge comes from anime and JP games, I need to concentrate a lot on what I hear to understand so if I'm focusing on the subtitles I won't make out what they say

I suggest lowering the audio, it helps me avoid clearly hearing words I know too well

He is mainly concerned with the speech of Russian citizens, especially if they are being critical of himself or the Russian government. If this website became very popular with anti-Putin activists in Russia, maybe he would take issue with it. But even then, he could just block it at the ISP level in Russia rather than try to get it shut down for everyone. That appears to be the main form of online censorship in Russia. https://news.engin.umich.edu/2019/11/how-russias-online-censorship-could-jeopardize-internet-freedom-worldwide/

I don't he think minds it much if people in other countries criticize Russia online. If anything, he might like it when Americans are excessively critical of Russia because that fuels division in the US. Liberals talk a lot about Russia being a threat and Conservatives are sick of hearing "Russia, Russia, Russia".

Russia's preference for instability in the US is part of what makes them a safe host for a mostly English speaking free speech site. They'd be happy if some kind of civil war and/or revolutionary war happens here, so they would be fine with Americans calling for violence against politicians or using racial slurs. That sort of speech is the main kind that has gotten free speech platforms in trouble so far.

Understanding Japanese takes all the fun out of this.

Never will

That is true. I don't think Putin is a fan of free speech though.

Doesn't the first amendment exist?

Yeah, but too many companies are afraid to stand up for it because they don't want to deal with the backlash from a very vocal minority it appears.

From what I've seen of Parler it's just republican talking points and bible quotes. I've seen more vile content on reddit and Facebook.

This really should have been posted on a personal blog.
basically no elaboration on there opinions.
This blog post is so reactionary.

I hate sites that force 2FA. How about I decide whether a site is worth the hassle or whether I don't care for the account.

yea but inciting actual violence defeats the purpose of a peaceful protest

If its voluntary, its not theft. The only problem is that a tax free place doesn't exist anywhere. (Not including some tiny island or 50 acres of land in the dessert)

It only gives Russia more control. Pretty weird. Doesn't the first amendment exist?

And yes, you can access your @your-domain.com webmail over Tor, as well. Still working out some I2P integration kinks, but Tor is good to go right now.

What a fucking waste of tax money.

Who knows, I don't care all that much for what other people do with their time.
