This is a reason why the fediverse is becoming so interesting and engaging. We can for example create an identity for the family and some friends and another for political discussion. They are only linked by word of mouth. The experience of

There is a lot missing from this account such as: The US promising not to expand NATO beyond Germany. The Maidan coup in 2014. The Minsk agreement where Kiev agreed to stop bombing the Donbas but has still killed over 14K people doing so. T

Some Americans are proud of their country and believe it is always in the right. When given stories to the contrary, they will fight hard against what they do not want to see or believe. It is more than just uncomfortable to accept. It shat

I am going to the grocery store, not blowing up a pipeline. I doubt Kroger is going to remotely activate my baseband modem. Even if they did, I have an anonymous phone with a burner SIM.

I spent a few days with the chief of special operations of the joint chiefs of staff, and he told me many stories of things they would do to cover their tracks in special ops. For example, they would dismantle an airplane and file off every

Sometimes it feels ridiculous how much OPSEC I need to employ to buy anything at the grocery store. I walk or bike to the store to not reveal a license plate. All radios and sensors on my handset are turned off. I wear a mask to thwart faci

Independent does not mean objective. Independent journalists are generally not dependent on corporations, states, or publishing organizations to fund their reporting. Independence is a gradient rather than black or white. If he does publish

Yes the state aligned MSM platforms censor or manipulate the news to their aims. Those platforms are all that some people know. Some places where people in the west can find news alternative to the MSM narrative are: Odysee, Rumble, Bitchut
