>> "they handed the keys to democracy to the very conglomerate they attempted to take down" Maybe, did you catch White Rose's fire side chat at the end of seas

• breatheoften 10y ago
  White rose is fascinating -- his obsession with time comes across to me as a very insightful attribute to associate with a hacker in a Confucian oriented society -- I wonder if social hacking a great harmony society would tend to involve a lot of precise timing attacks. And the name is great -- perhaps referring to the anti-nazi protest movement in Munich -- a subtle reference to an existence proof for the possibility that a "hacker movement" could be deemed "correct" to oppose the existing paradigm in which its embedded. And it's great that he's Chinese -- we are so conditioned in the west to think of "Chinese hackers" as only and always state sponsored black hats. How strange that preconception given how noble a calling we should perceive there to be for "hackers" operating domestically in China -- to tweak at what we perceive as an often overly authoritarian regime. It made me feel a startling lack of examples in western media of "good guy" Chinese hackers. The realization has me always looking to find ways to try to establish trust with the white rose character. Not sure if he should have it, but I hope he is revealed to deserve it.
