  • They are overlapping areas, but they are “two completely different things”. They overlap by sharing common goals, not by being interchangeable.

    Anonymity to me means the message recipient can’t tell who you are.

    Right. And Signal doesn’t provide that at all, it ties your private messages to your identity (phone number), it explicitly does not provide anonymity. In fact, it proudly advertises you as a signal user to other signal users that have your number saved. It allows you to post public status updates, it encourages you to save your first and last name on your account.

    If a THIRD PARTY (the server operator) can ALSO tell who you are, that’s a privacy failure, not just an anonymity one.

    Okay? And? In this hypothetical world where Signal offered anonymity but still tied you to your number for other practical reasons, then you’re be correct that it would be a privacy concern.

    But they don’t offer anonymity, they offer private conversations.





  • There are human rights abuses and there is an entire class of people who work as live in “servants” with horrible working conditions.

    Probably better than the conditions of a typical Chinese factory, and pretty analogous to immigrant manual laborers in the US.

    “built on slavery and horrific abuse” is a bit of American propaganda and it’s shocking people still eat it full throated. They pay skilled foreign workers insane amounts of money.



  • Yes, yes, you named the benefits and convenience of a centralized system.

    Federalized systems require individual federated maintenance, and that comes with some challenges, but maybe it’s not the worst thing in the world if the random videos you uploaded to youtube that never get any views eventually disappeared… Maybe the planet shouldn’t bear the burnt of indefinitely holding those videos in replicated backed up storage forever. Maybe that’s not valuable data we need for future civilizations.

    What if a valuable creator dies and noone is there to run their instance? These are important things to consider and think through so we can solve them. Maybe the answer is a community driven peer node replication?

    These aren’t unsolvable hurdles, they’ve been solved already.




  • When the inevitable revolution is complete, Tesla needs to be socialized! People should really start talking about this and aiming for it seriously as a an end goal.

    Tesla is manufactured locally and they’ve been heavily investing in building factories while all the other car makers went out. This is one of the things Tesla did right and why Elon was well loved by liberals, before he went all out as a Nazi.

    And look the last thing I want to do right now is defend Elon’s anything, and the Chinese EVs have really caught up, but Teslas are great EVs that are reliable but will be on the road and need service for decades to come.

    Socialize and nationalize Tesla, it was built by the most talented American engineers and hard workers all for the profit of one Nazi and his family, let’s fix that last bit.

    Socialize Tesla. Take it back from the Nazi enemy of the state, give it back to the people who built it.




  • sure ignore all the judges, fed workers and doctors being threatened with losing their livelihoods and jail, possibly violence

    They aren’t fighting, they are barely resisting by doing their job.

    ignore the massive amounts of non violent protests

    Massive? You’re impressed with the size of protests in the face of what’s happening?

    all the quiet behind the scenes work on trying to preserve everything we can

    There’s a difference between dismissing all efforts by all individuals and stating a starling fact: we are collectively not doing enough.

    but sure get right out there and give them a reason to declare martial law

    Wait wait wait this took me back a bit, I wasn’t ready to respond to this point. You’re either completely brainwashed by neo-liberals or you just have not thought your contradicting views through fully.

    What’s the point of protest? Have you ever marched in an organized peaceful protest in designated areas and paths where police literally setup caution tape and mobile barriers to direct your protest from point a to point b?

    How did that feel? Did you feel like you accomplished much? Did the few onlookers that actually walked by your “protest” path seen engaged and informed?

    Protests that don’t bother anyone are just state sponsored venting sessions. If the Nazis are in power, and they aren’t imposing marshall law because of your protests, you’re not protesting.

    When the Biden regime saw actual massive protests of his genocide, they called students terrorists and started making laws to squash it. Just a few days a go a bill was passed to make it illegal to criticize Israel on Campus by conflating anti genocide protests with antisemitism.

    There’s your fascism, 320-91 bipartisan fascism! Protest, massively and un"peacefully" before you can’t.


  • The only reason you’re fighting the loud Nazis now is because you insisted on voting for the nice Nazis as a solution.

    This was Biden’s genocide, Israel starved Gaza under Biden already and he did nothing, it was Trump who paused the genocide, in a stupid attempt to get Gazans to just play along and ethnically cleanse themselves, and now he resumed Biden’s genocide.

    When history books are written, you can bet your ass we Palestinians will keep reminding the whole world that this was Israel and Biden’s genocide.

    But please, feel free to pat yourself on the back and tell yourself you did your part, you did what you could to end the genocide by voting for the party committing it, it’s everyone else’s fault that the other party is also committing it. You’re just a dumb Nazi.


  • Thank you for the insult.

    Bernie Sanders and all liberal Zionists swing around their bullshit support for a “two state solution” or a “homeland for Palestinians” as secondary to ensuring “the Jews” (conflating Zionism with Judaism is antisemitism) maintain their “safety and security” on illegally stolen Palestinian land.

    They’ll keep talking about supporting us so morons like you can insist that we do in fact have support, as our land is shrunk, our kids are slaughtered and the future of our people and culture are clear as day: running out of time.

    Bernie is a Jewish supremacist like all Zionists, there is no other reason to keep repeating the same bullshit lines that demand from all US government stooges, there’s no reason Bernie keeps repeating that “Israel has the right to defend itself.”

    No. It doesn’t. Israel is a state committing genocide against children it keeps in a concentration camp after ethnically cleansing their parents and stealing their land. It doesn’t have the right to defend itself, and only Nazis insist it does years into a Holocaust of children.


  • There’s a big difference between understanding and relating to the victims of atrocities, and simply not knowing about historic events.

    They aren’t ignorant, you are whitewashing them and stripping them of agency. They know about the racist history that they benefit from greatly! The education system in South Africa covers the rise, implementation, and fall of apartheid in significant detail.

    What are you arguing about? It could have taken you less time to look up how seriously apartheid is taken in South Africa instead of listing a bunch of irrelevant countries that don’t take seriously irrelevant crimes, what are you doing?
