Fuck cops

Boots are for feet. Not for eat.

The boot you lick today will curb stomp you tomorrow.

Government can only take away your freedom.

Sad how accurate this is.

The tree of liberty doesn't need to be refreshed. It needs to be planted in fertile soil.

Business idea: Truly private off-site cloud data backup. - Users can create an account with just a username and password. - 2FA integration with other FOSS solutions - Payment with XMR accepted. - Non-Crypto payments obviously require applicable identifiable info to process - User data is encrypted locally prior to being uploaded to company servers - Uploaded data is fragmented and randomly stored across several servers, the number and specificity of which are random, - Software is all FOSS (front end and back end), and company encourages auditing of it. - Company encourages and allows independent 3rd party audits on site to verify claims of user data privacy - Service available on clear net, Tor, and I2P - Duress decryption passwords allow users to immediately destroy all backups and account info if necessary. I have no idea how to implement this, but the fragmenting of user's encrypted data would ensure: 1) The company literally has no ability to see users private data 2) LE cannot subpoena or seize any user's data from the company since they have no ability to provide anything 3) truly private off-site data backups are available to anyone who wants to get rid of Google, Dropbox, etc. All of this is technically feasible... But is practically illegal in the "land of the free." The US government will essentially make the owner of such a company into another Ross Ulbricht.

At the end of the day, voluntaryism is all that matters in anarchy, regardless of its economic philosophies. View quoted note →

I convinced my wife to let me install LMDE as a VM on her ThinkPad to let her try it out while still keeping her Windows machine up.... and I just learned that Windows no longer just allows free personal use of Word and Excel.... You can only use the free version of the Office products on OneDrive like Google does with their docs and sheets... I'm sure this has been a thing for years now, but holy shit. Microsoft is such shit. Get Linux. Install LibreOffice. It's so much better, and all local!

If you saw someone destroying a Flock camera, no you didn't.

Since I've triggered the anarcho-purists last night on X, I may as well double down. I'm an anarchist first, and a capitalist second. Meaning I hate the authoritarian state more than literally anything else. "BuT aNcOm CaNt eXiSt WiThOuT fOrCe!" Yes it can. You have either an inability or a stubborn refusal to separate the historic evils committed by statist communism and the idea of voluntary community sharing of resources. Just like how many ancoms conflate capitalism as corporate fascism, that's on you. You don't have to understand it's granular mechanisms, but you should acknowledge the possibility of voluntary communsim, even in theory. "BuT aNcOmZ wAnT tO MuRdEr uS!" Then they aren't anarchists the same way "ancaps" who want to throw ancoms from helicopters aren't. Stop dehumanizing your fellow human because they have a different economic philosophy than you do. Ancaps get fulfillment out of innovation, invention, and self-improvement. Ancoms get fulfillment out of community service, sharing, and selflessness. Neither is inherently evil. What is evil is using force to accomplish these things, as well as using these differences as a justification to commit murder against "the others." "cOaL!!" Lol! I don't fucking care. What I do care about is abolishing the state, and if you think any post-statist world is going to solely consist of your preferred version of anarchy, you're retarded. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: The post-statist world will be a beautiful tapestry of a million anarchies... Better start getting along with "the others" now, because it is all but a guarantee that Ancapistan and Ancompton will need to peacefully trade with one another, lest we prove the statist fuckwits correct in their claim that anarchy will form a state in order to make war with our neighbors... Now stop being a retarded anarcho-purist, realize other forms of anarchy are perfectly valid (even if you don't understand them), and let's all just get the fuck along. I shouldn't have to ask people to be cordial with others, but here we are...

🚨BREAKING🚨 US Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, has been attacked by the Iranian Air Force. The ship is heavily damaged, and preliminary reports indicate 34 American sailors have been killed, and as many as 171 sailors have been injured.

The world we live in today didn’t happen by accident. It was shaped over generations by systems that indoctrinated people to equate obedience with safety and freedom with chaos. What we now call "normal" is really the result of a slow, steady conditioning that has taken place since the first governments of ancient Sumer. People have been domesticated by the state to fear their own liberty like a servile dog who’s been kept in a kennel so long that the open field terrifies him.

Supporting war with Iran is supporting terrorism. Supporting the troops actively engaging in acts of war against Iran is supporting terrorists. I say this as a veteran who "served" from 2005-2011, did 3 deployments, and received an Honorable Discharge.

Without the state, there would be no wars of any significant scale. Such conflicts would be limited to private property disputes, and without a fiat-funded propaganda machine and military industrial complex, no one would volunteer to die for someone else's property.

The post-statist world will not be comprised of one singular Utopian anarchist philosophy and framework, but will be a beautiful tapestry of a million anarchies, each with their own economic philosophies and cultural beliefs.... It will be a free market of societies any person to find their home... And this is how liberty will be achieved in the world. View quoted note →

There is no theoretical or actual framework in which a centralized monopoly of violence can exist without violating the fundamental ethical imperative of individual consent.
