The TOS of certain social media platforms call certain races and sexes "protected". Only white men are fair game. In an equal society nobody shoud be a protected class. I fall under their category, but I'd rather be called a slur daily than lose free speech, because its only a matter of time until I am no longer protected. Besides I've seen these people in real life, they need anything but protection.

In some sense this is karma for seeking quick money in an attention seeking and performative culture.

Important context but these messages were shared over Signal. Did isreal manage to infiltrate the worlds largest encrypted messenger app, radicalize some boy from Utah, arm and train him in two days give or take? Unrealistic, but if it was true man that would be cinema.

The false hypothesis are equally as important as the correct ones, because there is no such thing as a correct conclusion, but some methods are better than others

Back then technology was agnostic, nobody made the next protocol or system worrying that someone would use it for evil, so people just made things that were useful or to entertain. Now, it feels like every standard, technology, or innovation must come under moral scrutiny because someone bad might have it. That's what these old computers mean to me, a time where technology just worked and didn't have to make a statement.

don't forget p2p decentralized in there

First it was terrorism and 9/11, then it was women's rights and protecting children, then it was to eradicate rapists and pedophiles, now it is for eliminating ANTIFA. We have to acknowledge that we are also contributing to this cycle, most of the time for ego and an ill-intended purpose. People think that if they give the government power, they will recieve victory against their enemies. Sure for a short time, but that's exactly what they are looking for. Unfortunately, while technology has the capacity to enable, it has also allowed people to become more decadent and ignorant as to the most fundamental laws of nature we have obeyed even before the industrial revolution. These laws are still here, we are just about to enter the "find out" phase.

It is for this very reason I'm trying to get into NOSTR. When you log into social media and you see the same monochromatic opinion over and over again, you begin to doubt yourself and wonder if you're thinking correctly.
