Here's a German NGO that got debanked because of US pressure because they dare to be openly antifascist: https://rote-hilfe.de/meldungen/kontokuendigung-wegen-antifa...

I believe cryptocurrencies are an in-vitro experiment on free market ideologies and that's why people are so split on them. I think of them as primarily an ideological technology, designed to establish the primacy of free market capita

There is no left wing politician in power anywhere in the US. Democrats are a center-right party, they do not argue for any left wing position - like nationalizing industry, abolishing markets etc etc. In Europe, their equivalents in terms

So no practical benefits, just ideology then? That has been my impression as well. Thank you for confirming.

Here's my two cents. I use GrapheneOS myself and think it's a valuable project to enable communication without being stalked by Big Tech. I believe cryptocurrencies, however, are primarily an ideological technology, designed to es

They're not the first with this line of thinking. > When our enemies say: well, we gave you the freedom of opinion back then - yeah, you gave it to us, that's in no way evidence that we should return the favor! Your stupidity s

I am not! Consider this an open invitation to show me impressive things, I would genuinely appreciate having my mind changed.

All I ever hear from the crypto space is scams. The technology has been out for a while now and I don't think I ever read anything good coming out from it. Why do people still bother?

Why is what right wingers do speech that should be protected, but not what the "Zentrum fuer politische Schönheit" does? There's a certain hypocrisy in all right wing demands for free speech. They always mean freedom of thei

San Francisco is a right-wing, pro-capitalist place. The left would be public ownership of the means of production.

Sure, but you would be denying reality. Look at the political reality in Europe and the US. How many countries are led by the far right? What about the far left?

The problem has been the continuous purposeful rightward shift of the overton window as part of a wider strategy by the far right. You see it in action here, where the politics of the CCC, despite not having changed since their founding are

Everything is political, always has been. The "apolitical" is just an implicit endorsement of the status quo.

You and I will get around it, sure. The type of boomer that's likely to fall for it? Probably not.

You don't know if the senders were criminals. That's the thing about private anonymous monero.

It's not censorship to defend against cyberwarfare. An overly simplistic approach to free speech is naive and counterproductive in a modern environment. These aren't serious people having a reasonable discussion. They are propagan

> But where have X violated US law? It clearly continues to confuse that EU law does not, in fact, have any relevance outside of the EU. US law is not relevant in the EU. As long as X makes itself available in our sovereign lands, they h

It's ironic you have that complaint while attacking our government with cheap polemic.

Context matters. It's one thing to use something for documentary purposes or in art. It's another to use it to make light of the holocaust like this guy did. It's all clearly written in our law. If that person didn't wan

Technically there is a level of indirection even in the presidency, but sure. Nobody ever complains about ambassadors not being democratic though. Same thing goes for, idk, a Secretary of State or whatever, they all go through the same proc

Ugh not this misdirection again. The commission is appointed by directly elected governments. It's the same as any ministerial post in any government. It's also the same level of indirection as the US presidency, which is appointe

The information isn't made available to governments, it's made available to the people. What X is scared of is showing that @AlabamaMAGALady and @DeutscherPatriot are based in St. Petersburg. Again, there is no censorship. Just
