Exactly. Just using an adblocker is like tying on a blindfold and claiming that the minefield has no landmines.

Digital self-defense isn't about ignoring trackers, it's about evading and disabling them.

I appreciate that you are standing for moral dignities like personal privacy. But understand, Google's entire business model IS surveillance capitalism.

Profits aren't infinite if the resource is finite. Eventually, they would have to dig the mineshaft deeper, take more material to sell more product. This is what happens when capital is left laissez-faire, it grows more tentacles.

Never, ever get into an argument with a moose.

Forget pumas, those fuckers are the real apex predator of The North. 😨

With his talk of invading Canada, I'm wondering how much of that is to drill oil in the Arctic, and how much of it is to hunt down the people who ran away from him.

A military force with a moral conscience would be nice. A revolution in America will be impossible without defectors, and a LOT of them.

We're dealing with the most heavily armed police force in the world, the most well-funded secret police in the world, the most insanely overarmed military on the planet, and a citizen's army of heavily armed zealots.

We have teenagers with winter boots whistling Hunger Games.

It is bleak. Trust me, I've been fighting this for ten years. Can't say it feels good to have been right all along about what Trump is capable of.

But still, fight back, even in small ways. They want us to be too afraid to try anything, that's been the entire point.

I can't leave. They just made my gender illegal to put on a passport.

I might just be a cynic. But I think we just had our last free election. If I know one thing about Trump, I know that he is an honest liar. He will breathe untruths like CO2, but he always makes his intentions nakedly clear. He's planning on invading countries. He's already parceling out Ukraine like the West did to the Middle East during the Sykes-Picot treaty.

Give a damn about keeping the EU democratic and healthy. You guys might be our last hope when he finally slams the jail cell door and crowns himself king.

The revolution will not be televised.

I'm trans. I don't have the luxury of ignoring it.

I have been fighting against this bullshit for ten years. I even got arrested protesting Trump's bullshit once. Met some fantastic socialists and amarchists in jail.

Yeah, entertaining, isn't it? Seeing that every warning bell that was rung was ignored? That every day I waved a sign or shoved a cop, was just a day delaying this from happening?

Has it all been futile? Have I wasted ten years fighting the same fascists my grandfather fought in WW2?

The scariest thing is that the only reason we haven't done the violent uprising thing yet is because the only way it would succeed is if the military instigated the countercoup. We won't survive under American martial law, and they're bullbaiting us into giving them an exuse to kill and imprison us all. We must fight back, but we can't fight back.

This is hell. This is hell. Never, ever, ever let it happen in Belgium. For the love of any god that gives enough of a fuck to listen, care about politics. Care about politics before they decide they don't care about you.

Because in ten years, those of us who aren't in prison camps are going to be starving and freezing. Take a good look. Take a good, long look, and be smart enough to get up and do something dangerous and crazy once in a while when it matters most.
