I’m not sure I understand why the tables are turned now.

It's complicated to explain, but in the republican(/conservative/trump supporter) mind "activists" are (in support of) "far-left marxist communist liberal extremists" like Biden, Obama or Harris, so the FBI/CIA/NSA under the Biden administration were protecting them and calls for making encryption illegal only targeted "the republican" so activists supported ending encryption because it benefited them in their unjust war against republicans. So if they now see activists discussing opsec, they view it as liberals being "scared" at the righteous Trump administration coming for them.

  It’s not complex to explain. The establishment was all Democrats and they tried to ban encryption. Now the establishment is Republican and the same elites who tried to take away encryption are now using it.

    Many such cases.

    Of course it's easy for you to say, but the rest of us do need some explanation to understand what you believe. I assume you aren't against encryption being widely available despite the elites/activists using it for nefarious purposes though? Like you are just pointing out the far-lefts hypocrisy when they tried to ban it before?

      I am not on either side of the 2 party system. I am pointing out the hilarity of former members of the panopticon now understanding the value of privacy preserving technologies.

        Ahh I see a liber - but no of course labels don't apply to me - tarian, they tend to believe the same nonsense trumpists believe nowadays so it can be hard to tell sometimes

        I don’t care if you call me names or say my beliefs are nonsense. I’m most enthused now that so much government funded “nonsense” is being defunded, and all of the federal and NGO employees being fired, so they can be free to actually contribute to society.
