Signal is kinda lib socialist (openly btw): «we need to filter our spam, so we'll do it via phone number: every person has it, yet has only 1, and one account will be fair and equal for everyone»
SimpleX is kinda lib individualist: «they can create as many accounts as they like, yet they can't see ya unless you want to become visible, and if you wanna become hidden, you can instantly to that»
Session is kinda chaosist: «create as many accounts as you want yoo, we we'll even easen the process»
Threema is kinda market anarchist: «whatever—you can make more account's if you want, but that will cost your 6€ more every time, so you don't want to do it yourself + your spam will make the project even stronger»

checking trustability of a service by their website style & LOGO is ludicrous. even more — to hear same guy criticizing "woke people excluding someone from the team just because they were racists" now saying "riseup is a bad VPN 'cause one of their team members is an antifascist".
now, that doesn't mean that fighting the *men* is good (taking into account all the discrimination of men — read more on https://masculism.site/ — adversal feminist activism ain't helping), as well as one forcing you to use some exact one-and-only VPN to access one's service, as well as not letting you use the service with VPN overall. I agree w/ you about that.
RiseUp's projects have included the Stop Watching Us campaign against global surveillance disclosures revealed by Edward Snowden, fighting the NSA surveillance: https://www.vice.com/de/article/crowdfunding-kampagne-fuer-abhoersichere-email-und-chat-kommunikation/
On the other hand, one of the reasons not to use RiseUp is that their canary no longer states the absence of gag orders: https://www.zdnet.com/article/encrypted-email-provider-riseup-misses-warrant-canary-deadline/

it does! according to simplex privacy policy, «to prevent server overloading or attacks, the servers can temporarily store data that can link to particular users or devices, including IP addresses, geographic location, or information related to the transport session»*.
if the served is compromised, it can fully deanonymize the sender and receiver, if they don't use Tor or VPN. it has own dangers: eg. many governments don't care, what do you chat ABOUT, if you CHAT with a wrong person (for example, if you chat with a political activist, who has actually done something, you're under a scope). once again, session eliminates the need to think twice to not get caught: privacy is not by default, not optionally.

we should note that not everyone takes extra actions. users would be even safer is vpn + tor is used, and even more safe if simplex is installed on a disposable phone — yet up to 90% of the users don't use vpn and tor additionally.
session includes tor-like system (with actually higher safety than the tor) in the core. thus, in session privacy is on by default, not optionally.
note once again: I'm not saying session is definitely better — both apps have their advantages.

well that's weird: when I said simplex collects users' data, I meant «when you use application SimpleXChat, it sends anonymized diagnostics about the use to improve your usage experience» — yet now I cannot find any proofs of that not. I was sure I read it myself in their privacy policy. Huh...
Anyway, yes, official servers do collect some statistics (which may be somewhat dangerous: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-10933-3 — yet not too bad). I'm not sure if using own server won't identify you by centralizing all your connections, killing the main reason to use the app: when 100 (your) pseudonyms uses all one same small server, and no or almost no other people are using it, pseudonyms can clearly be identified as belonging to a one person, or am I wrong?

simplex does not hide your meta-data as good, as session.
both are very good apps indeed, though I cannot say one would be defo better than another. for example, another simplex issue is that it officially collects users' data. on the other side, of course, it has the very great advantage over session in quantum-resistant cryptography.

dApps on ETH... web3 on BNB... uniswap on UNI... doesn't seem that the projects hella failing — or are they?
btw, I'd clarify, while I have the chance: why do you support centralization in crypto so bad? "don't use any other crypto except Bitcoin" is literally going against the core idea of Bitcoin: decentralizing your money — and sounds even fbi-ish, that useful for the government would be the idea of everyone using mostly just one (traceable & non-fungible) coin.
even decentralizing among traceable cryptos (thus different blockchains — eg. btc & ltc) hardens your privacy.

Tucker Carlson brings up the privacy issue in crypto.
«A lot of people in the crypto world are admirable — I’m friends with some and agree with them on many things. But why you are the only one talking about crypto transactions aren’t private? They’re easily trackable by the government. Why isn’t anyone else sounding the alarm?»
«Because the censorship and propaganda works — a lot of people are taking, few gets heard», was the answer.
Somebody should tell him about that "dumb shitcoin" called Monero.

I've answered both claims already.
I can hate both military alliance expansions and countries starting wars because of military alliances expansions.

+1
Antifascists from UA tell that Nazis are indeed the problem there, but Russian discourse has stretched it a lot wider than it actually is. Also, you're fully correct that Russia has Nazis as well, with whom Russian government OFFICIALLY COOPERATES. So nazis was never–ever the honest reason, tho Russian propaganda uses it as the main.

2024-12-19 08:27:25 UTC

- reply

ah, yes, my favorite labeling argument: "you are against Republicans? you must be Democrat!". I can hate both war and banning languages.
Once again, I am an anarchist — thus, I think that falling governments is a GOOD thing. If Russia would fall because of the NATO expansion, it would be good — and it's weird we don't agree on that.
Yet, as I said, while NATO expansion problem is of course bad, and valid, and etc-etc, and it has pressured Russia indeed, still, Rusdia was far away from anywhere close to the "breaking point" where only invading another country would save it.
Also, Ukraine is not a "no man's land" that could be taken over for political games of the governments, just like taxes may not be stolen for funding wars. Or may they? Is it valid for US to force you paying taxes, if it's because of some provocation? ◉_◉

2024-12-17 16:11:46 UTC

- reply

You should also understand, that every country, unfortunately, has nazi scum — including Russia, which actually may have it even more — yet that alone does not justify war military invasion! If it does, then any government war is justified, because governments always tell you they were provoked by the bad guys, don't they?
Another claim is about US sourcing Ukrainian nazis. I'm happy you dropped the allegations you made, but couldn't source the last time — about Ukraine bombing Russia first. I will ask *exactly the same question* this time: please /cite/, where it is said anything about «Obama funding the nazis», because I failed to find that in your sources myself. Prove-it-or-drop-it.
The only source supporting that, your very main source, is the podcast [11a] — I don't really trust people talking about political "secret happenings" without better sources than their opinions lol. If there are sources they're using, cite them, not the podcast! The source [12b] — your "clear FBI evidence!" — tells abou 4 US neonazis being trained by Ukraine neonazis. Third source [12a] confirms that: “… an unsealed FBI indictment of four American white supremacists from the Rise Above Movement (RAM) declared that the defendants had trained with Ukraine’s Azov Battalion, a neo-Nazi militia”. What's so weird about scum from US learning from scum from Ukraine, and where is the funding & Obama here?
I try to argue in a good faith, but it really feels you don't even read ling you're citing, if they seem to even closely support something you *want* to believe. Just like with the vaccines...

last time I've answered you a lot more than calling you a Russian puppet, remember?
«The "pressures and overtures of the west/us had pushed the Russian state to it's breaking point" claim is not only wildly inaccurate — are we really to believe this neo liberal, white supremacist behemoth was teetering on the edge of collapse, any more so than it was in 1917 or 1991, & that invading a neighboring state would somehow save it from certain death? — for those who believe in anti-state politics, it should be a GOOD thing. Only from the perspective of the Russian government & its patrons does this make any sense. That's why you got called Russian puppet by another user», I said.

Why #Monero, besides inability of governments or organizations to track and potentially target transactions or users? (And why other coins, if there's Monero?)
Monero has:
· no CEO
· no vulnerable corporate presence, anonymous core developers not subject to US/EU regulatory pressure or intimidation
· not overly-concerned with compliance, privacy is prioritized in every consideration regardless of the consequences
· fully private at protocol level (no "optional privacy"), all transactions look the same, transparency is strictly opt-in
· auto-shielded IP addresses
· uses established, well-understood, battle-tested and thus reliable cryptography (as may be opposed to novel, experimental, much less understood and thus potentially flawed cryptography of some newer coins)
· modular approach to privacy = no single point of failure
· proven track record, 10+ years of sustained darknet usage with 0–1 users traced, has notably foiled the FBI, Europol & the IRS
· no suspected backdoors
· no dev tax i.e. "founder's reward/community development fund", conditional donation-based dev funding gives the community more leverage and keeps devs disciplined
·wasn't designed to systematically enrich founders, wasn't pre-mined, whales have either mined or bought their coins like everybody else
· not transitioning to Proof-of-Stake. PoS is much more environmentally friendly, yet PoW still has a proven 10+ year track record while consumer-grade CPU mining remains the most anonymous, most permissionless way of acquiring coins
· ASIC resistance (greater hash rate decentralization because of ineffectiveness of pool mining)
· tail emission
· dynamic blocksize
· low inflation
· ever-increasing real-world adoption, actually displacing even more popular crypto (BTC, USDt, ETH) in OPSEC-critical markets, endorsed by the DNM Bible
· growing criminal adoption = infinitely more street cred + law enforcement/regulator hostility = additional battle-hardening
· has a good reputation, widely admired and respected by non-hodlers, has enough traction, activism, enthusiasm
· no trademark restrictions, no pandering to the Establishment, has steadfastly remained true to crypto's anti-authoritarian free market cypherpunk ideals
· one of the most successful Esperanto agitation
now this is not anti-btc or anti-usdt, this is just and only a list of some cool strengths xmr has. I think that the point of cryptographic resistance lies in the «crypto vs banks», not «my-favorite-coin vs banks and shitcoins».
we all should invest in #bitcoin, purchase anonymously with #monero, use smart contracts based on #etherium, drop down fees by #litecoin, stay safe from price crashes in #usdt, lower carbon emissions with #solana, invest in agorism with #ripple, share small support every day using #sats, and even make such great things possible as decentralized end-to-end encrypted lightning-fast ridiculously cheap cloud drive with #storj* or canceling Sybil attack possibility in decentralized chats with #oxen* (future session tokens).
in other words, unionize cryptoanarchists, don't divide them. there is no "best" coin in the center — decentralize the decentralized currency sentiments.

argumentum ad naturam — a rhetorical technique for presenting / proposing that "the more natural something is the better".
yet, many phenomena present in nature are considered undesirable even by supporters of this argument, such as diseases, parasitism, famine, natural selection, natural disasters. at the same time, many phenomena absent from nature bring benefits, such as medicine, health care, support for the elderly and disabled, agriculture, plant selection.
nature & ecology is important for suffering less — but just as medicine, agriculture & mutual aid. wild animals getting eaten alive don't seem to suffer less than domesticated.

please clarify: is being gay or being against fascism in your opinion political?
right now there have been no bad actions from the Tor project, nor Tor is having any political agenda. you're the one digging what devs' do outside of work (I'm not sure workers' bio is related to work more than workers' clothes).
the claim about Tor being compromised is not related to the wokeness theme — it's hilarious to say Tor's compromised because the devs use pronouns. shortly put, there's a lot of rumours: about Session being compromised, SimpleX, Bitcoin, I2P, Tails — basically anything actually private will have such rumours. so IMHO rumors tell too little about actual situation.

Interestingly, if we believe Zach Vorhies' list of queries that Google censors [1], it censors both right-wing (rightwingnews.com, chicksontheright.com, rightsidenews.com, rightsidenews.com, yesimright.com) and left-wing queries & websites (liberalamerica.org, modernliberals.com, trueactivist.com, libertynewsnow. com); as well as both conservative (“abortion is wrong,” “abortion is murdering,” “Abortion and the Catholic Church,” “immigrant NYC shooting” in youtube) and liberal (“Pro abortionists,” “Abortion Rights Campaign Ireland,” “Rape Crisis Network,” gaybuzzer.com, judgybitch.com); both pro-Republican (ilovemyfreedom.com, donaldtrumpnews.co, trumpinsurrection. com, 34 inquiries related to “anti trump” [shooter]) and pro-democracy (democraticreview.com, advocate.com); both pro-state (patriotjournal.com, angrypatriotmovement.com, supremepatriot.com, proud-patriots.com) and anti-state (thelibertarianrepublic.com, tipsforsurvivalists.com); furthermore, exmormons (reddit.com/r/exmormon), embroidery forums (www.knittingparadise.com), a whole bunch of political events (“truck incident,” “terrorist attack,” “plane crash in russia,” “911”) and the worst conspiracy theories (“colgate on penis,” “abortion increases breast cancer,” “cancer cure” — meaning dangerous & proven-as-false self-treatments, not actual attempts to cure the cancer).
Also, the list contains a bunch of repetition. Assuming it's real, it seems that either it was sketched by regular employees/dumbest AI, or Google consciously censors farther “edgy” than political points (right or left, authoritarian or anti-authoritarian), because the masses are easier to control when they don't revolt (even for ridiculous/conspiracy reasons). That doesn't mean we need to riot over every conspiracy bullshit to oppose the state (but we do need to riot for real ones). It also doesn't mean that Google doesn't use real, serious censorship to manipulate opinions. Just Zach Vorhies lists are, perhaps, not a good proof for that.
What do you think?

on simplex there are not thousands, but hundreds of unofficial servers. tho you're correct about putting a backdoor into a one mainly-used-by-everyone client is easier, than into a lot of different clients. yet, this has also another side: if the code is open and has only one version, there's more eyes on it than if the eyes are spreaded onto a lot of different clients. it also backslashes: if there's a lot of clients, CIA can make its own — taking its budget into account it will be even easier to make a good looking honeypot than to insert a new backdoor into an already watched app. "just use the serious clients"? yeah let's limit clients to only one trustable, like simplex did.
also, the government funds lots of shit: tor, tails, signal... doesn't mean they're automatically becoming bad apps becos of that (but I bet they hope we think so)

Ah! Pardon my mistake, I thought you talking about the 1998 fraud where they claimed false link between vaccines and autism.

Still cool, when the journal does not deny something being being disproved by more studies, and retracts the paper without denialism and ideological protecting
Still that's why I trust meta-analyses more than single studies.
Still, if you want to hear sources with no history of fraud, I can send them. Perhaps two mistakes in 25 years is actually too much for a journal to be trustable.

Also, that's why I trust meta-analyses more than single studies.
If you want to hear sources with no history of fraud, I can send them. Personally though, I don't think that one shitty point 26 years ago proves something to be not trustworthy forever-from-now-on — Signal was hacked once, but we don't think it's now always vulnerable, or furthermore sponsored by CIA. Tor was traced once, same shit, etc etc.

How can I debate with you, if everything I send "is a fraud, it's sponsored by the government, it's a fraud, they're lying and doing frauds"? I mean, I don't know how to argue with you, if you prefer trusting some random politically-supporting-your-views blogs more than peer-reviewed neutrally sponsored studies, made in countries with weak or strong governments, social-democracy or wild capitalism, still all coming to the same conclusions. It really feels like an ideological attempt to resist the facts for protecting something you used to believe in.
It's incorrect to say that Pfizer "admitted" that the company and its partner BioNTech did not test whether their mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine reduced virus transmission prior to rolling it out, because Pfizer was always clear it did not test whether the vaccines reduced the risk of transmission among already-infected individuals.
But the trial did show the vaccines reduced infection risk in the first place, so reduced the risk of onward infection.
Within months of the vaccine hitting the market, researchers in the UK (https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-health-coronavirus-pfizer-vaccine-tra-idUKKBN2AQ1A7) and Israel (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanepe/article/PIIS2666-7762(21)00127-7/fulltext) began publishing studies suggesting that the Pfizer vaccine was reducing transmission of the virus.
In February 2021, for example, Israeli data (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00448-7/fulltext) showed a sharp drop in infections among healthcare workers within 15-28 days of receiving the two-shot Pfizer vaccine series, indicating the vaccine was not just preventing symptomatic disease, but also preventing the virus from being passed from person to person.
I can send more data. I can also send some blog text with an eagle flying in front of the yellow flag on the article image, which sources the claims with "just think about it fam" saying same shit, if you trust that more.
Step out of the bubble.
P.S. According to right‐libertarian literature there is a considerable divergence between the application of consistent libertarian principles to this issue by academic libertarians and the strident opposition to vaccination programmes and vaccine mandates expressed by people who profess to be libertarians in the public‐political debate: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9111279/

1. according to the link you sent, the treatment stops the spread... once again, call it whatever you want — a vaccine, treatment, panacea or poison — if it reduces the risk, severity, and rapidness [1][2] (and thus reducing the number of people who get sick, get sick at the same time, and die), it's neat
2. I don't care if you take it — nor I even would, if it would be a "real vaccine" — I care that you discourage people from taking it. analogy: I don't care that you drive without seatbelt, but if you discourage people using it, saying that science is wrong about its safety, I'll argue with you.
3. Efficacy wanes over time indeed, but can be maintained with boosters [3]. Still, ain't that important if you use 'em, because you still drop your chances to die 11x just with the "treatment", and booster does not make a huge difference [4]

4. This is the first serious argument so far — without insisting fake data about vaccines, you ask, is it worthy to be healthy by depending on drugs or (big) capitalism. I shall think about it.
P.S. By the way, did you know that authoritarian governments manipulated with the COVID data? Yet, not in the way you would think... They actually *downplayed* the significance of the problem for the sake of economic advantages: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2007.09566

are we fighting about terms now?
vaccine is something what provides you so called "adaptive immunity" towards something. depending on how good is the vaccine, it may reduce, treat or cure. there are no reasons for denying vaccines just by saying that «they are actually not 100% good but only 80% good».
also, the word vaccine comes from Latin vaccīnus (“of or derived from a cow”), so a "vaccine" can be whatever reduce/cure/treatment/lilhelp shit it is. it's not a «panacea» (from Ancient Greek "all-healing")

your words in previous messate: "I will give you a source proving that vaccines do not stop the transmission"
citing FIRST paragraph in YOUR link: "[vaccine] helps reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2"
please read yourself the sources you send, lol.
I don't know, what are you trying to disprove by saying "vaccines does not actually stop a person from getting sick, it reduces the chances and consequences of getting sick". I wonder, if anything in this world would 100% stop you from something, lmao. nobody (including me) ever argued, that vaccines make you a superman.
if I told, that legalizing guns actually WON'T stop crimes (it will just dramatically reduce them) — will you agree on governments banning the guns? :D

factcheck articles are good for summarizing the scientific sources — I can also send you them as a bunch of links on separated studies and publications criticizing McCullough as well.
if you provide your sources about vaccines and they won't be poor or straight-out fake, I'll agree fact check was wrong. I can also send you lots of sources (strong as meta-analyses without government or bank funding) of vaccines lowering the transmission myself, if you wanna.

I think there are more solutions — specially outside capitalism — but sadly in my humble opinion we are most likely not going to succeed in saving the climate after all. There's a great essay on the anarchist libraries called "Desert" about that.
According to studies, even though many will die, many other will stay alive and adapt, so climate change most likely won't lead to extinction of humanity. If it's really inevitable (actually it has started already in poorest places), perhaps it's not worth discussions — we'll see how real climate change was on practice. ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

>when reading individual counter-studies, you need to be able to distinguish between proud lone wolves carrying the Truth, and madmen screaming that «breathing is harmful for health, we just don't understand it yet, and science is silent because it's corrupt»
You're ignoring my arguments, continuing pushing single links, some of which I don't even need to check myself, because *they've already proved as erroneous or even consciously faked data (netsearch about eg. AFLDS on any neutral website).
Usually you're fighting bravely against fakes and manipulations — eg. critisizing big tech or us politics hypocrisy — but you're experiencing denialism with some strongly scientifically proven data. I think, that being libertarian/ancap ain't necessarily requiring supporting all right-wing stuff, including weird conspiracy theories which were proved wrong long time ago yet still having a tiny amount of lunatic followers.
I will read the other links you've sent. In return, I warmly recommend you stepping out of the bubble and checking what any NEUTRAL doctor or study says — not necessarily pro-vaccine, but not anti-vaccine either.
p.s. I am arguing only againt something that has strong, neutral, various, independent proofs — denial of vaccines/masks/covid, pf genocides, of global warming. I don't argue about something like 9/11, because there is NO strong scientific data that it wasn't staged, so I can only tell my humble opinion, not argue

there is no reliable scientific evidence that vaccines would be unsafe or ineffective. science is indeed controlled by the capital, but without accepting completely ridiculous ideas, like a secret actually strong world government, almost all scientists from all countries of the world could not come to a consensus if this were not so. when reading individual counter-studies, you need to be able to distinguish between proud lone wolves carrying the Truth, and madmen screaming that «breathing is harmful for health, we just don't understand it yet, and science is silent because it's corrupt». talking more sharply, some studies show that going throughout covid infection may lower your iq — so you should reduce your chances to get infected (including for the second time), or you may become an antivaxxer.
speaking about radical woke, if your work causes hostility in a large part of society (large enough so they could cancel you meaningfully), PERHAPS there actually may be some problem with the work. the work one's doing ain't even connected to the continuous yapping of the right-wing libertarians about freedom of speech* (majority of whom have never experienced any actual censorship, unless were spreading calls for commiting hate crimes) — it's a freedom of work or something, no?
in any case i, however, agree that everyone should have the right to privacy of their work history. and freedom of speech (taking responsibility). and freedom of work, perhaps.
otherwise i warmly share the theses of your publication, and agree with them. I've even accidentally reposted this on my acc while trying to reply

the problem with hating monero is that it still gives you anonymity Bitcoin does not. you can infinitely whine about horses being better than cars, but you cannot deny the fact that you will never go closely as fast on a horse (if you find fast movement aka privacy important).
tho, if you dislike exactly monero coin, not "every coin expect the bitcoin", then it ain't bad: one can freely try zcash (which is even more private) and dash instead, why not

фемина, феминность — ФЕМИНизм
маскула, маскулинность — МАСКУЛизм
маскулиНИЗМ ошибочно сконструирован по подобию фемиНИЗМа. на самом окончание — "изм", а не "низм".
подобную ошибку иногда также совершают, например, в слове "седатированный" — по аналогии со "стимулированный" — хотя на самом деле "седация" не содержит лишнего (пятого) слога, в отличие от "стимуляция", и правильно будет "седированный"
а ещё маскулИЗМОМ чаще называют борьбу за права мужчин, когда маскулиНИЗМОМ — борьбу за превосходство мужчин или борьбу против женщин. так что маскулизм > маскулинизм, ребятки.
